Chapter 180: Shuangshu's Birthday
Wan Ningzhu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's not a valuable thing, it's the kind of purple wormwood I asked you to find last time." Coincidentally, I got some! These things are worthless outside, maybe not worth a penny, but they are life-saving treasures! Okay, I'll hand over this box to you, and it will be delivered to King Yan within three days! Please! ”
Zong Xiangyi picked up the box with one hand, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this matter is absolutely foolproof!" ”
Wan Ningzhu smiled and nodded, sent Zong Xiangyi out, and said, "Go back and tell Hanyan, I won't go back tonight!" ”
Zong Xiangyi showed an expression on his face that I understood, and he couldn't bear it or not, and said, "Senior brother hasn't slept all the time, I guess I'm just waiting for your words1"
Wan Ningzhu laughed silently.
After sending Zong Xiangyi away, Wan Ningzhu returned to the room to prepare to rest.
But the Gongsun family caused a violent earthquake! Everyone has intuitively seen the abilities of this mysterious woman! Whoever is called in the middle of the night! This ability and courage is really not something that ordinary people have!
Ahem, ahem, all the relatives of the Gongsun family, it's not early, it's time to wash and sleep, in fact, the truth and the inside story are really not what you think!
And so the night passed.
When Wan Ningzhu stood at the door with his waist stretched, feeling the refreshing morning breeze and comfortable sunshine, the entire Gongsun Mansion was busy.
The maids who served Wan Ningzhu became more respectful than yesterday, and all the services were meticulous and not chaotic at all.
Wan Ningzhu didn't bother to say anything else, and enjoyed the care of the maids safely.
After washing, a maid knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "Miss Wanwan, the eldest lady and the second lady invite you to breakfast!" ”
"Got it! It's going to be right away! Wan Ningzhu said with a smile, looking at herself in the mirror, she is so energetic today!
I changed out of my uniform and finally became a woman. A long skirt with a light purple background, a light white lace shirt, and the gold jewelry on her hair is simple and generous. There is no excessive decoration, but no one dares to look at the majesty.
The dark purple purse is hung around the waist, and the embroidery on it is a first-class embroiderer, judging from the color, it was actually made overnight last night!
This Gongsun family really looks up to themselves!
After packing up, he followed the maids and turned around and went to the room where Gongsun Shuangshu lived, another courtyard not far from here.
Gongsun Shuangshu is wearing a rose-red dress of the same style and color today, and she is indeed today's little birthday star, with the same longevity lock around her neck.
Gongsun Lin Gongsun Li was already standing at the door to greet him, and when he saw Wan Ningzhu coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, held Wan Ningzhu's hand with both hands and said, "This dress was rushed out overnight, do you still like it?" ”
Sure enough, it was rushed out overnight! What a quick handiwork!
"It's good, it fits perfectly." Wan Ningzhu smiled and nodded: "You said that you are really!" I'm here to celebrate my birthday, and I'm flattered that I'm going to dress my guest! ”
"As long as my sister likes it!" Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li replied in unison, dragged Wan Ningzhu into the house and sat down for breakfast.
Although it was said that it was a casual meal, the dazzling array of dishes on the table still made Wan Ningzhu can't help but drool!
Who doesn't know that Wanwan is a foodie? It's strange that she can miss something delicious when she encounters something delicious!
Wan Ningzhu saw a fierce light in front of him, rubbed his palms and said, "Then I'm welcome?!" ”
Gongsun Shuangshu glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed tacitly.
Everyone in the world knows that Sister Wanwan is a foodie, and sure enough, giving her all kinds of delicious food is to get closer to her!
Wan Ningzhu is really not a polite person, and he doesn't have to wait for others to let him, so he grabbed the chopsticks and began to taste them one by one. Every time I taste a dish, I will squint my eyes and savor it for a long time! It's a serious snack that hasn't been eaten in years!
Delicious, delicious, truly delicious!
Gongsun Li picked up a piece of meat and put it in front of Wan Ningzhu, and said, "This is what we simmered for half a month, and we kept condensing the soup and infiltrating this piece of meat." Do you like it? ”
Wan Ningzhu was not polite, swallowed it in one gulp, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded indistinctly: "It's so delicious!" The taste is too good! ”
Seeing Wan Ningzhu eating happily, Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li, as the owner, were also very happy.
At this time, Gongsun Li's maid came in from outside with an account book, half-squatted down and saluted, "Second Miss, the list of VIPs who are coming today has been sorted out!" The lists of the children of the other families have also been sorted out, and they are all here! ”
Gongsun Li stretched out his hand to take the account book, opened it and glanced at it casually, handed it to his twin sister Gongsun Lin, frowned and said: "These people are not all greedy for the wealth and power of our Gongsun family, it's really boring!" ”
Gongsun Lin took the notebook, opened it and read it carefully, and said: "There are indeed few people who can be praised, but this person is said to be good, with a pure character and a motivated person." ”
Wan Ningzhu's eyes fell on the table at once, and the page on it read: Li family, Li Mingxian.
Oh, yes, I can't just eat it, I agreed to the deal made by the third lady last night!
Wan Ningzhu wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Can I take a look at that list?" ”
Gongsun Lin was stunned for a moment, but still handed the list to Wan Ningzhu.
Frankly speaking, Wan Ningzhu is also waiting to be married now, and it is somewhat inappropriate to look at other people's lists. It's like our sisters are unmarried and single, rabbit, I told you, come on, show me your mobile phone address book, I'll see if there are any handsome guys.
Obviously, this is an impolite thing to do.
But Wan Ningzhu is Wan Ningzhu, when a person's status is noble enough, it doesn't matter if they are polite or impolite!
It's like saying that when you beg people and lick your face to make them happy, people will look at you when they look at your address book!
So although Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li felt that it was a little inappropriate, they still obediently showed the list to Wan Ningzhu.
Wan Ningzhu's gaze suddenly fell on the roster, which was introduced in detail. Including name, age, portrait, family introduction, the list is very detailed.
At first glance, Wan Ningzhu felt that this Li Mingxian was really good-looking, white and clean, and his eyes were very melancholy, which really attracted the likes of some girls.
Flipping through the list of other people, some are gentlemen, some are poor children, but there are all kinds of strange people, everyone has them.
After all, it's the Gongsun family, and the appeal is there!
Wan Ningzhu looked at it casually, and said with a smile: "There used to be such a saying in my hometown, it is said that life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown!" ”
Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li looked at Wan Ningzhu puzzled.
Wan Ningzhu continued: "The meaning of this sentence is obvious, I believe that I don't need to explain too much, the two of you can understand. But there is another hidden meaning, do you both understand it? ”
Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Wan Ningzhu smiled bitterly and said, "I'll just ask you a question, have you really loved?" Are you really worried about a man, sad and desperate for this man? ”
Gongsun Shuangshu shook his head at the same time.
Wan Ningzhu sighed lightly and said, "Understood!" In your position, love is actually a very luxurious thing! What you want is just a political marriage, just to strengthen the family. Your marriage is just a means, but it is not all of you, not even a part of it! I don't know if I should rejoice or grieve for you! ”
"But you are human beings, you can indeed sacrifice your own marriage, your own happiness, and your future for the sake of your family, and of course I am not saying that arranged marriages are necessarily unhappy. But have you really lived without truly loving once? Wan Ningzhu smiled meaningfully, put down the roster, and said: "I've already eaten, I'll go out for a walk first, such a big mansion hasn't taken a good walk yet!" ”
After Gongsun Lin and Gongsun Li got up to send Wan Ningzhu away, they glanced at each other, and Gongsun Li asked Gongsun Lin: "Do you understand what she meant?" ”
Gongsun Lin said thoughtfully: "I seem to understand what she means!" According to rumors, two and a half years ago, Miss Wanwan was once a guest of the palace of King Suiwang in Beizhong, and had a good time with King Sui. But what I didn't expect was that the person who buried this period of time in person was also King Sui. Maybe that's what she said! ”
Gongsun Li said: "Why do I think she seems to mean something else? ”
"Who knows?" Gongsun Lin smiled bitterly: "The two of us who have never loved each other, what qualifications do we have to say this?" ”
Wan Ningzhu ate and drank enough, sat down in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, scratched his ears and cheeks, and thought, if he did this, the two twins could understand what he said, right? You know what you mean, right?
If you don't understand, then your efforts will be in vain, and you have to think of individual ruts!
This birthday is a three-day running water feast. The first day was a banquet for important guests, such as himself and other important officials of the court. The next day was relatives and friends, all of whom had important business cooperation and dealings with the Gongsun family. On the third day, it was a banquet for the young man, saying that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was to pick and choose, whether there was a young man who liked him and chose to be a son-in-law at home!
Looks like I still have two days left! As long as that important batch of purple wormwood is successfully sent back to Nanzhongshu, then you can complete your own transaction with peace of mind!
Hehe, I prefer trading! Pure, precise!
At this moment, a small pebble suddenly sank into the water, causing a layer of ripples.
Wan Ningzhu turned his head to look, and saw a young man standing on the shore, standing by the lake in a daze with a melancholy and sad face.
Yo, this isn't Li Mingxian!
