Ximen Zhan Ying's request may be a little unbelievable in the eyes of others, and even feel that it is not at all unorthodox, but for Qi Ning, it is really not a problem.

He thought that Ximen Zhan Sakura would put forward more harsh conditions, and when he heard her say it, he almost laughed, but he immediately realized that in this era he was in, Ximen Zhan Sakura's ideas were really a little ahead of his time.

He believed that if Ximen Zhan Ying was born in a family of official eunuchs who followed the rules, he was afraid that he would not even think of such a problem.

But Ximen Zhan Sakura lost his mother at a young age, and it was Ximen Wuxian who brought it up, and Ximen Wuxian was between the court and the rivers and lakes, and even said that the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes on his body was stronger than the atmosphere of the court, and the Shenhou Mansion was a yamen that dealt with the forces of the rivers and lakes all the year round, and his style of action was full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes.

"Is this the only condition for Miss Simon?" Qi Ning asked with a smile.

Ximen Zhan Ying put forward such a condition, Qi Ning not only did not have any pressure, but praised Ximen Zhan Ying a little more in his heart.

Ximen Zhanying thought that such conditions were also very difficult for Qi Ning, but he didn't want to change his temperament because of accommodating Qi Ning, and said, "You..... Do you say yes or not? ”

Qi Ning smiled: "If it's just this one condition, I can tell you now, and it won't be any problem." After getting married, if you are willing to continue to work in the Shenhou Mansion, I will never have the slightest obstruction, but I also put forward one condition. ”

Ximen Zhan Ying knew that Qi Ning was quite cunning, and only thought that he was going to make things difficult for himself again, but thinking of such conditions would have made people embarrassed, if Qi Ning agreed, even if he put forward some harsh conditions, he was not unable to consider it, and asked, "What conditions do you have?" ”

"I know that the Shenhou Mansion is sometimes busy with official business." Qi Ning said seriously: "But you have to go back to the house every night, if there is really a delay in official business, you must also send someone to tell you, otherwise it will be difficult to arrange dinner in the house." ”

When the ministers heard this, their eyes were about to fall out.

Qi Ning agreed very happily, everyone was surprised, hearing him say that there are also conditions, all of them are like Ximen Zhan Ying, thinking that he is going to put forward more harsh conditions to make it difficult, who knows that it is such a sesame mung bean-like condition.

At first, Ximen Zhan Sakura thought that he had heard from the errand, but when he was sure, he was correct, his pretty face showed joy, and he asked, "..... Did you really promise me? ”

"If you promise me, I will promise you." Qi Ning smiled.

Ximen Zhan Ying bit his lip and nodded, "You..... You promised me, I ..... Of course I will do as you say. ”

Ximen Wuxian turned his head and glanced at Qi Ning, his eyes also showed a different color, and then he said with a look of relief: "Jinyi is reasonable and admirable." ”

"Don't say that, God." Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Zhan Ying has always been determined to make a difference in the Shenhou Mansion, if her ideals are ruined because of this family business, she will not be happy in this life." The saint ordered me to take good care of Zhan Sakura, and I also said that I would not let her suffer a little grievance, so naturally I can't let her be unhappy all the time, otherwise how can I fulfill my promise? ”

Ximen Wuxian smiled and nodded, Ximen Wuxian heard Qi Ning say this, and his heart was even more excited, he only felt that these words were the most beautiful love words he had ever heard.

The surrounding ministers all had their own thoughts, and some people sneered in their hearts, secretly thinking that although Qi Ning agreed in his mouth, he may not be willing in his heart, and the Jinyi Qi family must be worried that this family business will not succeed, and it is nothing more than an alliance with the Shenhou Mansion, so this is the only way to compromise.

Long Tai smiled and said: "Ximen Zhan Ying, since Jinyi Hou has agreed, I will testify for you, and he will not dare to go back." After you get married, you are still on an errand in the Shenhou Mansion, if anyone stops you, you can just come and tell me, I am the master for you. ”

Ximen Zhanying is naturally willing to marry into the Qi family, but it has always been her heart disease to leave the Shenhou Mansion after getting married, and the thought of leaving the Shenhou Mansion after getting married one day makes her feel a lot of troubles in her heart, and because of this, although she has long reached the age of leaving the cabinet, but marrying someone out of the cabinet has always been her reverse scale, and others dare not mention it.

But I don't want to worry about what I have been most worried about, but it is so easy to solve it here in Qi Ning, not only can I marry into the Qi family, but I can also continue to work as an errand in the Shenhou Mansion, my heart is very happy, and the eyebrows naturally show a happy color, and the whole person looks even more delicate.

At this time, he listened to the emperor in charge, and he was even more happy and encouraged, bowing his head and thanking him.

Longtai smiled: "Today's accomplishment of two family affairs is also gratifying." All of you Aiqing stepped back first. He looked at King Huainan and said, "Uncle Wang, you stay for a while, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

King Huainan immediately bowed his hand and said: "The minister's order!" ”

In the sound of drums, Longtai got up, and the ministers sent the emperor away, some of them stepped forward to congratulate Su Yu, and many officials came to congratulate Qi Ning and Ximen without a trace, Ximen Zhan Ying was shy in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay longer, and he didn't dare to look at Qi Ning anymore, and saw everyone saying hello to Qi Ning, knowing that this family affair was already a certainty, and hurriedly left with shame.

Qi Ning knew that many officials congratulated him, not necessarily for the sake of his own face, but the Qi family and the Ximen family got married today, and they have become a force to be reckoned with in the court.

Su Yu saw that Duan Shao, the prince of Eastern Qi, left without saying a word, hurriedly chased after him, and said with a smile: "Prince, please stay." ”

Duan Shao failed to achieve his goal today, and his heart was naturally very unhappy, and more importantly, he also saw that Qi Ning and Ximen Zhan Ying seemed to be a little tired, and his heart was even more unhappy, at this time, Su Yu caught up, although he was disdainful in his heart, he still stopped and turned around, smiled, and arched his hand: "Wuxiang Hou!" ”

Su Yu thought to himself that after a while, I will be your father-in-law, and sooner or later I will be the father-in-law of Dongqi, and the joy in his heart was overflowing, and he said with a smile: "Prince, the cold house has a little thin wine tonight, I wonder if the prince is free, go to have a glass of water and wine?" ”

Duan Shao was unhappy in his heart, where did he have the heart to eat any water and wine, but he kept a smile on his face and said: "Wuxiang Hou, your country's hospitality is too good these days, wine and meat are constant, Duan Shao will rest for a few days first, and he won't bother Wuxiang Hou tonight." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother." Su Yu smiled and said: "The prince has eaten too much greasy, and after I go back, let people prepare some light flavors." ”

"Wuxianghou doesn't have to be polite, the coming day is long, and there are opportunities." Duan Shao said with a smile: "The imperial sister will get married in a few days, and I, as a brother, will also make some preparations, how about another day?" ”

Su Yu hurriedly said: "It's a big deal. In this case, before the prince returns to China, I will set up a banquet for the prince to practice. ”

Duan Shao arched his hand, didn't say much, and led people to leave quickly.

Su Yu looked at Duan Shao's left-leaving figure, smiled, stroked his beard, and at this time a few more people came to congratulate, Su Yu only felt that his back seemed to be much tougher, and he smiled and returned the salute, and suddenly heard someone behind him: "Wuxianghou, it's still early, don't worry, it's okay to send someone over at night." ”

Su Yu's heart sank, but he saw that Qi Ning had already crossed past him, and in a few steps, he had already caught up with Dou Kui, who was about to leave, and stopped in front of Dou Kui and said with a smile: "Lord Dou, don't forget to send the silver over." ”

Dou Kui's face was ugly, and he sneered: "I wish to lose the bet, if you don't say it, the lower officials will not forget it, and the lower officials can still take it out for a mere five thousand taels of silver." ”

"That's natural, don't say five thousand taels, it's fifty two and a half million taels, and it's not a big problem for Lord Dou." Qi Ning said with a smile, then raised his hand to several officials, and said, "Don't forget a few adults, Lord Liu, you are eight hundred taels, Lord He over there, you seem to be five hundred taels, hahaha, Lord Situ, you are also five hundred taels ......!" ”

The faces of all the officials were very ugly, originally everyone thought that betting with Qi Ning today was no different from picking up silver, but they didn't want it to be such a result, they all had a gray face, just arched their hands at Qi Ning, and left quickly.

Qi Ning smiled at Su Yu at this time: "Marquis Wuxiang, congratulations to Miss Su on marrying in Eastern Qi, one day, when Miss Su becomes the queen of Eastern Qi, you Marquis Wuxiang will be the national ruler of Eastern Qi." ”

If someone else said this, Su Yu would naturally smile, but Qi Ning was a little uncomfortable when he said it, but this was not a bad word after all, he smiled faintly and said: "I also congratulate you on marrying Miss Ximen, Jinyihou, your vision is really good, and if you have the old god to take care of you in the future, it will be a glorious ancestor." ”

His words were full of ridicule, that is, you Qi Ning want to marry Ximen Zhan Ying, it is nothing more than a fancy to the power of the Shenhou Mansion.

Qi Ning laughed and said, "I can't talk about the glory of the ancestors, but being able to receive the grace of the saint and the consent of the gods has become this family business, which is naturally the blessing of my brocade family." The emperor said that when he married Zhan Sakura, he wanted to be beautiful, originally the brocade clothes Qi family had always been simple, and there was not much silver in the treasury, if it were not for the sponsorship of the Marquis of Wuxiang and the adults, I was afraid that it would not be too beautiful. Hehe, with your help now, it is natural to have a great time, and when the time comes, Wuxianghou must drink a few more glasses. ”

threw out 10,000 taels of silver at once, even Su Yu was in pain, snorted coldly, walked with his hands behind his back, Qi Ning reminded himself behind him: "Wuxiang Hou sent someone to send the silver, don't be too late, if you send it over in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that the house will fall asleep." ”

Out of the palace, Qi Ning rode back to his house, turned near the Dewende Bridge, and thought that the Qinhuai River was not far in front, so he immediately thought of Zhuo Xian'er.

Before going to the country of Qi, Qi Ning had seen Zhuo Xian'er once, but since then he has not come over, at this time he couldn't help but think of Zhuo Xian'er's delicate face under the seductive taste, but wanted to see it in the past, but thought that he had just been married in the palace today, and at this time it seemed a little inappropriate to see a singer on the Qinhuai River.

But thinking of Zhuo Xian'er's reluctant appearance every time she left, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, thinking that if Zhuo Xian'er had been living in the Qinhuai River, the future would be bleak, and there might not be any good results.

This time I gambled with Su Yu and others, and I received more than 20,000 taels of silver at once, which is not a small amount, and I thought that it was really unsuccessful, so I took out some of it and ransomed it for Zhuo Xian'er, and then found a place to settle it.

While thinking about it, I couldn't help but go to the Qinhuai River.

The emperor's wedding is imminent, and the people of the capital know that red lanterns have been hung in many places, and on the Yiyi trees on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a long row of red lanterns has already been hung, although it is more beautiful and magnificent at night, but it is also a scene of its own during the day.

The Qinhuai River in the day is naturally not as lively as at night, many painting boats are resting on the shore, and visitors are not as busy shuttling back and forth at night.

Qi Ning vaguely remembered the location where Zhuo Xian'er's painting boat had docked before, riding a horse and walking by the river, his eyes swept over the painting boat on the bank, and he walked for a while, and sure enough, he saw Zhuo Xian'er's painting boat at the place where he docked last time, and couldn't help but stop his horse on the shore, and saw that someone at the bow of the boat was directing a few people to do something, and whistled over there.

The man turned his head, saw clearly that it was Qi Ning, hurriedly ran over, jumped from the side of the boat to the shore, it was Wang Xiang, the principal of the painting boat, who hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Master Hou, you ..... How did you get here? ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, glanced at the painting boat, and asked, "Is your Zhuo girl on the boat?" ”

"In!" Wang Xiang nodded immediately, but immediately showed embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the girl just fell asleep and looks very tired, isn't it..... Want to get her up? ”

"Just went to sleep?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "There are often guests on the ship recently? ”

"Master Hou, the girl never sees a guest." Wang Xiang said: "If there is a guest who is willing to listen to the piano, the girl can let him on the boat, but he must be outside the cabin and cannot enter the cabin, otherwise he will not receive guests." He smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, this boat also has a large group to feed, so .....!" ”

Qi Ning nodded, knowing Zhuo Xian'er's difficulties, and asked, "Then Miss Zhuo played the piano for someone last night?" ”

Wang Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, Qi Ning saw that something was wrong, frowned and said: "What do you have to say, you can't hide it, what's going on?" ”

Wang Xiang looked around, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, girl..... The girl was not on the boat last night, and not long after dark, she was ..... I was picked up and didn't come back until the third watch. ”
