Chapter 191: A Talented Woman's Confidant
Ning Xiaowang hugged his fists on the side of the road, smiled and saluted everyone, he was extremely humble and polite, and his bearing was extraordinary, and it was easy to win the favor of everyone.
Lin Wanrong remembered what Luo Yuan had said, King Cheng, the father of Ning Xiaowangye, was a famous virtuous king who was good at making friends with capable people. This little prince also seems to have a true heritage.
Luo Min invited Xiao Wang Ye Ning to sit down, and Xiao Wang Ye smiled humbly and said, "In front of the elders, how dare the juniors talk and sit." Xiao Wang came here today to pay tribute to the old lady's birthday. β
Ning Xiaowang is the prince and grandson, and it is inconvenient to kneel, so he bowed forward, and saluted: "Zhao Kangning, the prince of King Cheng, has seen the old lady, and I wish the old birthday star happiness and eternal life!" β
The old lady smiled and said: "The little prince has made such a big gift, how dare the old man be, the little prince please take a seat." β
Zhao Kangning said humbly: "Old lady Xie." As soon as he waved his hand, a subordinate handed over a brocade box, Zhao Kangning held it with both hands, respectfully handed it to the old lady and said: "Kangning came to Jiangnan this time, went in a hurry, coinciding with the old lady's birthday, and did not make sufficient preparations. β
Everyone in the hall has heard the name of Korean ginseng, and I heard that the effect of this thing is not simple, it is rumored to be able to live and die human flesh and bones, such a generous gift, it is said to be a thin gift, this Ning Wang Ye is too modest.
Millennial Korean ginseng? What a big gimmick. What Korean ginseng is, Lin Wanrong, as a modern person, knows it very clearly. Damn, flicker, just flicker.
Zhao Kangning's shot was such a big gift, most of the people here were eating court meals, of course they knew that this little prince was trying to win over Luo Min. Zhao Kangning's father, Prince Cheng, served as the secretary of the ministry in the past, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world. One-third of the feudal officials in more than ten provinces of Dahua are from his disciples, but Luo Min is an exception, this Jiangnan is a granary, of course he has to do whatever it takes to win over Luo Min.
Zhao Kangning saw Luo Ning standing beside Old Madam Luo, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said, "This is the first talented woman in Jinling, Miss Luo Ning?" β
Luo Ning shook his head and said shyly: "Luo Ning is only a shallow learner, how can he dare to be the first name?" β
Zhao Kangning smiled and said: "Miss Luo is too modest, you are outstanding in learning and famous, Xiao Wang has admired it for a long time in the capital that day. Seeing each other today is like a spring breeze and a rainstorm, which makes people happy. β
Damn, this little prince is really not covered, and he is not much worse than Lao Tzu when he talks well, listening to him talk like this, it is obvious that he has a little meaning to Luo Ning. But I don't know if Miss Luo will be tempted.
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Little prince, don't make fun of the little girl." β
Zhao Kangning shook his head, summoned the attendants to fetch a picture scroll, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang said, Miss Luo may not believe it, but when she sees this picture scroll, Miss Luo will naturally be clear." β
He slowly opened the scroll. The person in the painting is a delicate woman, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a graceful figure, standing under the peach blossom tree, holding a scroll, and looking at it carefully. This woman's demeanor is kind and natural, her eyes are gentle and gentle, although she did not speak, she has a quiet temperament. Looking at that face, it was five or six points similar to Luo Ning.
Luo Ningqi said: "Little prince, isn't the person in this painting a little woman?" β
Zhao Kangning nodded and said: "It's Miss Luo, this scroll was personally inked by Xiao Wang on a certain day three years ago, and he always thought that one day he could personally deliver it to Miss Luo, and today he finally fulfilled his wish." β
"Three years ago? So, the little prince had already seen me three years ago? Luo Ning frowned and said, "But I have never seen the little prince in my memory." β
Zhao Kangning smiled and said, "Three years ago, I met Miss Luo by chance at Jinghua College, but it was far away at that time, and before I could greet Miss Luo, Miss Luo had already flown away. After Kangning returned home, he couldn't sleep at night, so he made this painting all night. β
Luo Min, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at Ning Xiaowangye, his brows furrowed slightly, Zhao Kangning showed favor like this today, he naturally understood what it was for, and seeing that he was constantly pleasing his daughter, his heart was even more worried.
I made this painting three years ago, and today I took advantage of the old birthday star to do my birthday, and personally sent the painting to the door, which is really clever. Lin Wanrong sighed in her heart, this little prince is not a straw bag, she must be a first-class good player, he first got a story of a secret love, which aroused sympathy, and then sent a picture scroll, showing infatuation, telling his thoughts in front of everyone, and talking eloquently, which is extremely impressive, and can even be said to be unforgettable at first sight, if it is an ordinary woman, it is natural to be moved by him. This person should not be underestimated, Lin Wanrong secretly said vigilantly.
Zhao Kangning handed over the scroll with both hands and said softly: "Kangning has no other intention, but to use this scroll to fulfill my wish for many years, and I hope that Miss will accept it with a smile." β
High, it's really high, I don't mean anything else, but the action department is intentional everywhere, if I were a woman, I would definitely be impressed. Seeing Lin Wanrong shaking her head and smiling again, the eldest lady couldn't help but speak: "Look at you, you dare to think about it again, people are the people that the little prince likes." β
Damn, the little prince is a fart, do you really think that if you draw a picture and tell two sentences of heartfelt words, you can impress Luo Ning, this little girl? You are so naΓ―ve. Lin Wanrong has been in contact with Luo Ning for a while, this chick has ideals and beliefs, she is by no means a person who covets wealth and wealth, her eyes are above the top, and the husband she is looking for is a strong man who can enter the battlefield of martial arts, and you want to fool her with a few words of a painting? There are no doors.
Luo Ning secretly glanced at Lin Wanrong and said slowly: "Thank you for treating Luo Ning so kindly, but this painting is the result of the little prince's painstaking efforts, so I will give it to the little prince as a souvenir." β
This sentence is very knowledgeable, everyone in the hall can understand it, Zhao Kangning's expression remained unchanged, and he sighed: "Kangning's wish for many years has not been fulfilled today, it is really a pity." β
Lin Wanrong observed the demeanor of this little prince, compared with the mysterious master he met in the White Lotus Sect that day, he was now seventy percent sure, that person was this little prince named Zhao Kangning. No wonder Cheng De and the others were so happy to see him.
He thought for a while, someone gently pulled his clothes, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan said softly: "Big brother, you come with me, my sister has something to say to you." β
Luo Ning wants to talk to me? What do I have to talk about with her? He raised his eyes and looked around, and sure enough, there was no trace of Luo Ning, and he didn't know where he was hiding. It seems that he has been pondering for a while.
Luo Yuan pulled him to the back garden of Luofu, which was the private place of the Luo family, and outsiders could not enter. Luo Yuan pushed Lin Wanrong in and said, "Big brother, sister is waiting for you inside, you can go in quickly." β
Khan, this Xiao Luo is mysterious, outsiders don't know, and they think I'm going to soak his sister. Lin Wanrong entered the garden, it was early winter, the courtyard was empty, the flowers were gradually depressed, and in the corner of the garden, there was a lonely figure. Looking around, it was Miss Luo Ning who had just made a triptych.
Luo Ning's expression was quiet, looking at the remnants of the flowers in the courtyard in a daze, which was very different from the generous and cheerful personality of the past. Lin Wanrong walked over and called softly, "Miss Luoβ"
Luo Ning turned around and saw that it was him, and said happily: "Brother Lin, are you here?" β
Lin Wanrong nodded. Said: "Miss Luo, you called me, is there anything wrong?" β
Luo Ning's eyes were gloomy, staring at the remnants of flowers in the garden, and said slowly: "Brother Lin, do you think which of our women or flowers is more vivid and which is more durable?" β
This problem is not in the village before and behind the store, where to start? Fang Cai's poetry is still so hearty, why has it become so resentful now? Lin Wanrong didn't know which tendon was wrong with this girl.
"Brother Lin, do you think I'm weird?" Luo Ning saw that his brows were gathered together, and he was speculating about his intentions, and couldn't help but smile.
Lin Wanrong nodded solemnly and said, "It's very strange, it's hard for me to connect you with Luo Ning, who is generous above the hall. β
Luo Ning said shyly: "Big brother, people have two sides, and my generosity in front of outsiders does not mean that I will not be shy, because in the final analysis, I am also a woman." β
"Women and flowers, in fact, are the same truth, when they bloom, it is also the most beautiful and vivid moment of their lives, but after spring, they will fail like fallen leaves, tossed into the dust, and no one will remember the fragrance when they bloom." Luo Ning's words were quiet and far-reaching, as if they were floating from the sky, and they couldn't touch the edge, and Lin Wanrong couldn't grasp her thoughts at all.
This time it's too big, maybe I'm going to be soaked by a girl, Lin Wanrong wailed in her heart. Luo Ning chuckled: "Brother Lin, don't be surprised, this is just a little feeling from time to time. β
"Miss Luo, your little idea may change your life." Lin Wanrong is colorful.
Luo Ning said softly: "Brother Lin, what you said is right, a small idea may really change my life, but I know it too late, I don't even know when my change started." β
Luo stared at him and smiled: "Big brother, do you know, when the little prince showed me goodwill, I suddenly had a very scared feeling. β
"Afraid, afraid of what?" Lin Wanrong said.
Luo Ning smiled shyly: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, I swore when I was a child, and the Lang Jun I will find in the future should be a man who stands up to the sky, not only to have the talent of the top economist, but also to be able to kill jackals on the battlefield." That's what I've been aiming for for many years. β
Lin Wanrong snorted, and said in her heart, I already knew about your grand ambition, your brother warned me a long time ago, and I really can't get along with Wen Taowu.
"This little prince Zhao Kangning, I have heard of it before, not only is he romantic, but also his martial arts are extraordinary, and he has a good impression of me, according to reason, it should be my favorite object." Luo Ning said shyly: "However, even if he had a good impression of me three years ago, I still don't feel any strange. Not only him, but at that moment, I suddenly realized that even if there was really a person who had dreamed of Wen Taowu who was proficient in everything in front of me, I couldn't accept it. I was so scared that I suddenly realized that the goal I had always set was not what I wanted. β
Khan, Lin Wanrong understands what she means, this is called the collapse of faith according to the jargon, it is very cruel, Lin Wanrong mourns for her in her heart, little girl, the distance between ideals and reality is huge.
"Just like Brother Lin, you told me before, I want to travel the world, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely be able to go. The desire to travel is beautiful, but the process of actual travel is not necessarily beautiful. β
Luo Ning's words made Lin Wanrong a little big, a woman's mind is really hard to guess, there is the eldest lady in the front, and Miss Luo in the back, it is troublesome for a woman to read too much, or my Qiaoqiao is the most well-behaved.
"This, Miss Luo, what do you mean by that your beliefs have quietly changed, yes and no?" Lin Wanrong sorted out the wording and said cautiously, in fact, his original intention was to say that your view of mate selection has gradually changed, but when the words came to his mouth, it became a vague word of faith, if he accidentally misled a woman from a good family, this crime would be a big one.
Luo Ning sighed lightly and said, "Yes, Brother Lin, that's it." Before I even knew it, it had changed. β
Damn, in this way, this chick doesn't even know who she likes, this problem is serious enough, Lin Wanrong said cautiously: "Miss Luo, you don't really know who you like, right?" β
Luo Ning's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Brother Lin, what are you talking nonsense, of course I know who I like." β
"Oh-" Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh and said, "I understand, Miss Luo, you are in love with someone, and this person is completely different from the ideal object you longed for before, so your previous beliefs collapsed, didn't you?" β
Luo Ning's face turned red, and he didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
Lin Wanrong's heart was bright, there was actually a person who could make this chick give up her original beliefs, this person was amazing enough, he smiled and said: "Like someone, you are always unconscious, those love at first sight, all are deceitful nonsense." β
Luo Ning blushed and hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, I don't like him, I just like to talk to him." β
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's all the same." Miss Luo, I still say the same thing, life is short, you can do whatever you like, and you can change how you want. I don't force everything, my heart is my hometown. β
Luo Ning talked to him, as if he had let go of a big burden, and said with a grin: "Brother Lin, talking to you is easy, and you have a long history, I like to talk to you the most." β
