Looking at Ning Wanran, who was standing not far away, Ning Zhiyun, who was about to relieve her, was preempted by Yuan Qingxuan, only to see him clasp his fists towards Ning Zhiyun and salute: "Since the fifth miss has come to find the second miss and the sixth son, Qingxuan will not force the young lady and the son to stay here to watch the chess." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, my sister-in-law is here, so I will take my brother-in-law to say goodbye first." Ning Zhixuan bowed to the princes, and then took Ning Yucheng's hand and left.

"Brother Yuan, no wonder the second lady of the Imperial Capital is said to be the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is fortunate to see her today, and her words and deeds are really full of the demeanor of everyone's young lady."

"How could I be in a trance Some time ago, I heard that the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was ruthless, but because the maid next to Concubine Li said a few words, the second lady killed her."

After Ning Zhiyun left with Ning Yucheng, all the sons talked about it, some were attracted by her because they saw Ning Zhiyun's charm and bones, and some thought of the rumors these days and felt that she was a femme fatale.

Su Xin walked at the back, he heard everyone's discussions, and when he walked into the corridor, he inadvertently glanced at the princes, but saw that everyone's eyes fell on Ning Zhixuan, only Yuan Qingxuan's eyes only fell on Ning Wanran beside Ning Zhixuan.

"But did my father and mother want you to come looking for me and my sixth brother?" Ning Zhiyun looked at Ning Wanran, who was now walking beside her with her hands down, and asked.

"My father accompanied An Guogong and King An Jun to play chess in the study, and my mother accompanied the wives to enjoy the scenery in the garden." Ning Wanran's cheeks couldn't help but turn a little red a little as she spoke, "It's because I'm worried that Yu Cheng hasn't gone back for a long time, so I came out to look for him, but I didn't expect him to play chess with Yuan Gongzi and them in the back garden." ”

"Sister, Yuan Gongzi really played a good hand of chess, I'm afraid that he is a little more refined than his sister's chess skills." Ning Yucheng is just a teenager, where can he see that Ning Wanran is shy and nervous now, so he still said to himself, "Sister, Yuan Gongzi invited Cheng'er to study at the Dyeing and Xun Academy in their house, and the second sister has already responded on my behalf, and after I go back, I only need to ask my father and mother what they mean, and I can go to Yuanfu to study." ”

"You want to go out of the house to study?" Although Ning Wanran is also a simple-minded person on weekdays, she also knows that the old lady has now invited her husband to teach Ning Yucheng to read carefully, and she will not easily allow Ning Yucheng to go out of the house to study.

"Yucheng, my father accompanied Duke An Guo and King Anjun to play chess in the study, as the only son of Zuo Xiangfu, you naturally want to go to greet An Guo and King Anjun." Ning Zhiwen knew that Ning Yucheng had been instilled by the fifth aunt with the idea of not taking the lead, so she developed the cowardly temperament she has now, so she deliberately wanted to put a little pressure on him.

"I don't want to go, I just want to be with my mother and sister." Ning Yucheng had just heard that he was going to greet those nobles, and he was immediately frightened and hid behind Ning Wanran.

Ning Wanran watched Ning Yucheng be so frightened that he hid behind him, and remembered the fifth aunt's usual earnest teachings, so he hurriedly looked at Ning Zhiwen and pleaded: "Second sister, the sixth brother has always been timid, I am afraid that he will lose his temper in front of Duke An Guo and King Anjun, and when the time comes, he will anger his father." ”

"Yucheng, don't you want to go to the Dye-Xun Academy in the Yuan Gongzi's Mansion to study? Don't you want Yuan Gongzi to guide you in chess skills? Ning Zhixuan saw that Ning Yucheng really wanted to go out of the house to study, and he really liked to play chess, and he wanted to get Yuan Qingxuan's guidance.

"Yucheng naturally thinks about it." Ning Yucheng replied truthfully with a blink.

"Since you want to go to the Yuan Mansion to study, and you want Yuan Gongzi to guide you in chess skills, you have to go to your father and the nobles to say goodbye." Ning Zhiyun looked at Ning Yucheng with a puzzled expression, and patiently explained, "Only if you show your face in front of people and win your father's favor, will your father allow you to go to Yuanfu to study." Seeing that Ning Yucheng's eyebrows loosened because he understood Ning Zhiyun's words, Ning Zhicheng continued to guide him and said: "As you said according to your grandmother, you are no longer cowardly in front of people, and your grandmother only allowed you to go back to visit your fifth aunt and your fifth sister occasionally, but if you can really please your father this time and go to the Yuan Mansion to study, you can ask to open your own hospital in the future, so that you can see your fifth aunt and your fifth sister every day." ”

Now the Wutong Garden where Ning Yucheng lives is connected to the old lady's Ci'an Ju, and Ning Yucheng's every move is under the nose of the old lady, but if Ning Yucheng can go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to study, then he can move out of Ci'an Ju in a bright light on the grounds that he doesn't want to disturb the old lady's tranquility.

"But...... But ...... "Ning Yucheng wanted to be with the fifth aunt and Ning Wanran, but he still didn't dare to show his face in front of Zuo Xiang.

Ning Wanran watched Ning Yucheng in such a dilemma, she really couldn't bear to see him struggling in her heart like this, and her words of wanting to ask for mercy were interrupted by Ning Zhishengsheng.

"Yucheng, you are the only male in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the honor and disgrace of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be on you alone in the future." Ning Zhiwen looked at Ning Yucheng's expression of understanding and non-understanding, and continued, "Your brother Yuan is the most outstanding in the Yuan Mansion, and he is also the son who is the most pleasing to Yin in the Yuan Mansion, and it is precisely because of this that he can invite you to study in the Mansion." ”

"Cheng'er also admires Brother Yuan." Although Ning Yucheng said that he was young, he also understood that Yuan Qingxuan was a powerful person, and naturally he also wanted to become a powerful person like Yuan Qingxuan.

"This time, you go to An Guogong's study to say hello, your brother Yuan should also be there, if you show your face in front of everyone and win your father's favor, your brother Yuan also happens to tell your father about going out of the house to study in front of everyone."

It is said that although Yun Qingxuan's father's official position is only in Jingzhao Mansion Yin, because Yuan Qingxuan has always been good friends with Su Mowen, he won the first place in the second class when he participated in the palace examination, and was regarded by everyone as a promising son with prosperous official fortunes in the future.

"Brother Yuan will really be there?" Ning Yucheng knew how noble the identities of King Anjun and Duke An Guo were, Yuan Qingxuan was just the son of an ordinary official eunuch, how could he play against them in the same game?

"Your brother Yuan was the first in the second class of the imperial examination the year before last, and his chess skills are on par with His Royal Highness Prince Heng." Ning Zhixuan explained why Yuan Qingxuan would play chess in the same room with the nobles, and looked at Ning Yucheng and said: "Yucheng, when you grow up in the future, you will also be a dignified seven-foot man, so naturally you have to learn to win glory for the family like your brother Yuan, do you want to hide behind your fifth sister like this and be laughed at?" ”

Although Ning Yucheng is young, he is also a bloody man, and after hearing Ning Zhiyun say so many things about the excellence of Qingxuan, he will naturally be infected, even if he loosens Ning Wanran's skirt, he solemnly looks at Ning Zhiyin and says, "Second sister, I want to go and greet all the nobles." ”

Seeing that Ning Yucheng was finally moved by his own words, Ning Zhicheng was very comforted in her heart, but Ning Wanran looked at Ning Zhicheng with a worried face, and the hesitation in her eyes was clearly that she didn't want Ning Yucheng to be too aggressive.

"Miss Five, you should be tired after standing for a long time, Su Xin helped Miss Five to go to the corridor to take a rest."

Ning Wanran saw that Ning Zhixuan had something to explain to Ning Yucheng, and knew that she couldn't stop it, so she had to follow Su Xin to sit under the corridor.

"Yucheng, although you are the concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, you are also the only son, and your aunt and fifth sister and the female dependents in the mansion will count on you in the future." Ning Zhiyun said and took out a peace charm with exquisite embroidery from her sleeve and handed it to Ning Yuchengdao, "This is the peace charm that your brother Yuan gave to Su Shilang in the past, I will transfer this peace charm to you today, I hope you can get ahead like your brother Yuan in the future." ”

Others may not know that Su Mowen had a childhood sweetheart time with Ning Zhiyun, but Ning Yucheng, who lives in Zuo Xiang's Mansion, knows it, and even though he carefully took the peace charm, and then put it in his sleeve like a baby.

"Second sister, fifth sister, Cheng'er is going to say hello to my father and all the nobles." Ning Yucheng said that he was already clenching his fists and bowing down, and his gestures were quite calm and calm postures of children of the family.

"Second sister, I'm still a little worried about Yucheng." Ning Wanran saw that Ning Yucheng had gone far, so he hurriedly got up and came to Ning Zhixuan's side.

"Fifth sister, I didn't know about the hard work of you and the fifth aunt." Ning Zhiyun thought that since Ning Yucheng would have to take this step sooner or later, she planned to make her words clear with Ning Wanran, "If there is a concubine in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, or other concubines, naturally there is no need to force the sixth brother to come forward, but now the sixth brother is the only male in the mansion, and you can also see that grandmother also has high hopes for the sixth brother." ”

After Ning Wanran listened to Ning Zhiyun's words, her face turned pale little by little, and she saw that the old lady took Ning Yucheng away from her aunt and herself, and placed him in the Wutong Garden of Ci'anju, so she knew that the old lady had plans to train Ning Yucheng to become the future head of the Zuo Xiangfu.

"Actually, my aunt and I only hope that Yucheng can grow up safely and be able to live a peaceful and happy life." Ning Wanran knew that since the day Ning Yucheng was taken to Wutong Garden, this simple wish had become an extravagant hope.

"I can really understand the fifth aunt's motherly heart." Ning Zhiyun said sharply, but suddenly turned sharp and said, "However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and now that the situation is compelling, I am afraid it will be difficult to fulfill the wish of the fifth aunt." ”

"Second sister means that Yucheng can't dodge?" Ning Wanran still asked without giving up, as if he still hoped that Ning Yucheng could avoid all these disturbances.

"The love of parents and children will be far-reaching." Ning Zhiyun looked at Ning Wanran as she spoke, and said with a sinking gaze, "The fifth sister is also a scholar and knows etiquette, do you really want to watch the sixth brother become a puppet of his grandmother because of his aunt's blindness?" ”

If Ning Zhiran didn't regard Ning Wanran as a relative, she would never say these things that would bring trouble to herself, and she would have rebelled against her, so Ning Wanran could also see that Ning Zhiran was really thinking about Ning Yucheng's future.
