Chapter 9 Assignments
In the early morning, Guan Lumo's mansion, with a smile on his face, looked at Luo Xicheng, who came to him early in the morning.
Luo Xicheng looked at the gentle but penetrating smile of the man in front of him, and couldn't help laughing:
"Guan Lumo, do you have something to ask or something to say? Or do you want to throw a tantrum at me? ”
"Luo Xicheng really knows me well enough, we have been brothers for so many years, I never ask what you want me to do, but if I ask you today, I want you to tell the truth." Guan Lumo's tone was still gentle, but his eyes were firm.
"You ask." Luo Xicheng has always been neat.
"Ning'er, but from which big family did you kidnap her? I've seen it, she is still guarding the palace, and her words and deeds are not frivolous. Guan Lu Mo looked at Luo Xicheng steadily.
"Guan Lu Mo, it's only been a day that you call her 'Ning'er'?"
"You answer my question!" Even though Lu Mo was still in a gentle but firm tone.
Luo Xicheng couldn't stand the gentle knife of Lu Mo the most, and when he heard his tone and tone, he decided to answer his question first, so he said:
"I didn't lie to you, Ding Ning is indeed a girl from Chunmange, but I got her here before she could pick up customers, as for why she got it, didn't I tell you before? Besides, how can I have the ability to collude with a lady to elope with me. ”
"You Luo Xicheng don't have any skills, I see that now you have a good relationship with the imperial court. I don't know what kind of means you used. I'm just afraid that you've hurt someone else's good girl. ”
"Guan Lu Mo, you have only been helping me take care of her for a few days and have cared so much about her, I have to warn you, she is going to marry me."
"Yes, but I also know that she is not your real wife. With your Luo Xicheng's resolute style of doing things, once you are done, you will leave her behind. ”
"Tube Lumo!" Luo Xicheng looked at his brother with hostility.
"Luo Xicheng, I just want to warn you, don't forget to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for yourself when you are in the middle of the day, 'once a son of heaven and a courtier', you have to leave a way back for yourself."
After Guan Lu Mo finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Let's go, Ning'er may have finished breakfast at this time, I'll take you to her, I'm okay here, you have to explain it to her." From what she said to me yesterday, I know you didn't tell her anything, not even your real name. ”
Guan Lu Mo took Luo Xicheng to the courtyard she arranged for Ding Ning, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, Guan Lu Mo called in his soft voice:
"Ning'er. Ning'er. ”
Luo Xicheng always felt that he didn't feel good when he heard this title, and he always felt that it was too intimate to call Lu Mo Ding Ning, but he felt that it was just a title, Ding Ning was just his pawn, and it should be okay to call Lu Mo whatever he wanted.
"Childe, Miss Ding is not in the house at this time." Cuilan hurried out of the back room with a cloak in her arms.
"Where did Ning'er go?" Guan Lumo asked with concern.
The girl heard the slave maid say that the son has a cherry blossom garden, and the slave said that the son has a way to extend the flowering period, and now she can still see the beautiful scenery of the cherry blossoms falling all over the garden. When the girl heard this, she asked the slave maid to take her to see it, but the slave and maid took the girl to the cherry blossom garden and was afraid that the girl would catch a cold, so she turned back and took the cloak, and was about to send it to the girl. ”
"Let's go, then." Guan Lu Mo said as he took the cloak from Cuilan's hand.
The group of three came to the cherry blossom garden, and the cherry blossoms were fluttering, lining Ding Ning's blood-colored cheeks today, which was even more pink. Guan Lumo saw Ding Ning standing under the tree in a daze and watching the flowers fall one after another, worried that she would catch a cold, so he walked over with a cloak, shook it off, and put it on Ding Ning's body at a distance of one foot.
Ding Ning turned his head and saw that it was Guan Lu Mo, and immediately ended up with the cloak on his body, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes and said:
"Lumo. Thank you. ”
This move is nothing in Cuilan's eyes, his son-in-law is originally very good for everyone, but in Luo Xicheng's eyes, it is particularly dazzling, he feels that the actions between them are too close. He didn't want to allow them to go on like this, so he stepped forward and said:
"Miss Ding, let's meet officially."
Ding Ning saw that the person who appeared in front of her was Yancheng, and she suddenly understood in her heart that Luo Xicheng, who Lu Mo had been talking about, was the Yancheng she knew. Ding Ning immediately restrained the natural smile on his face and said:
"Luo Gongzi is really a cautious person, and he came around in a big circle to bring me here, so what I must do is also the most important thing. But before you tell me what I'm going to do, I still have to ask you, is it okay to be happy? ”
Luo Xicheng saw that Ding Ning's expression changed from being relaxed in front of Guan Lu Mo to being cautious and cautious in front of him, and there was an indescribable discomfort in his heart, and he said in a deep voice:
"She is now serving Mrs. Lin in the Lin Mansion, and she is doing well, and when you arrange what you have to do, I will find an opportunity for her to return to your side to serve."
"Won't they be embarrassed and rejoice when I leave?" I don't know why, Ding Ning always couldn't believe Luo Xicheng's words.
"After you listen to what I say to you, you will know the ins and outs of the matter, whether what I said is true or false, I believe you will also have a judgment." After saying this, Luo Xicheng looked at Guan Lumo on the side, he hoped that Guan Lumo could find a reliable place for him to have a good chat with Ding Ning for a while.
Guan Lumo understood what Luo Xicheng meant, and smiled gently:
"Ning'er, Xicheng and you will go back to the Rose Garden to talk in detail, what do you think?"
Ding Ning could naturally feel that Luo Xicheng had gone to great lengths to get her out of the Chunman Pavilion must have washed her identity and made her do extremely important things, so he nodded and walked towards the rose garden where he lived.
When he arrived at the Rose Garden, Guan Lu Mo opened Cuilan, closed the door of the Rose Garden and left, leaving only Ding Ning and Luo Xicheng in the garden. Luo Xicheng saw that no one else was there, so he said to Ding Ning:
"Miss Ding, under Luo Xicheng, I have been offended a lot before, and I hope the girl will forgive me."
Although Luo Xicheng was polite, he still clearly felt Ding Ning's wariness of him.
Ding Ning didn't make any expression, only replied superficially:
"What exactly does Sir want me to do for you?"
"Miss Ding, look at this portrait." As he spoke, Luo Xicheng spread out a portrait in front of Ding Ning.
Ding Ning looked at the woman on the portrait, although the woman looked exactly like her, but the four words next to the portrait made her understand that she and the woman in the painting were not the same person. Luo Xicheng on the side saw Ding Ning and seemed to guess something and said:
"The woman in this painting is called Baili Wanting, and she looks like you, her father is Bailixi, due to the connections of all parties, Bailixi holds the northern salt and iron power given by the imperial court. Bailixi is good at everything, but the family has been in business for generations, and none of the men are from official families, so the family has no social status, and its development is also very limited. Last month, Bailixi learned that I was a Jinshi of this dynasty in addition to controlling various business networks in the south, so he took the initiative to invite someone to tell me that he wanted to marry his only daughter Baili Wanting to me. But unfortunately, when Baili Wanting was about to arrive in Hangzhou, she encountered heavy rain, and a landslide buried all her convoy, although she was lucky to escape, but when I found her, she was already dying, I took her to Guan Lumo's mansion to do my best to heal, but I was unable to return to the sky. ”
"You want me to pretend to be Baili Wanting?"
"That's right."
"Baili Wanting is not alive, it's okay if he doesn't marry me, why do you call me a fake? Could it be that he wants Baili Wanting's property? Ding Ning analyzed silently, and at the same time felt that he had a feeling of aiding and abetting. She had already sold herself to Luo Xicheng since the day she promised Luo Xicheng to help him do things, and now she regrets it, is she going back to Chun Man Pavilion to wait for the pick-up! Ding Ning could only move forward now, and she asked again:
"I don't know Baili Wanting, how can I pretend to be her? What if it gets a goof? Can you keep me safe? ”
"Baili Wanting's corpse has replaced you as Lin Zihao's deceased wife, and I have told Baili Xi the truth about Baili Wanting's distress in the mountains, and I have told Baili Wanting about her amnesia."
"Okay!" Since Ding Ning was not qualified to object, he could only accept it silently.
"It's our wedding in a month, and when the time comes, Bailixi will be there, you just have to be yourself, and since you've lost your memory, it's better to know nothing. Also, from now on, you will already be Baili Wanting, I will call you 'Wanting', and you don't let Lu Mo call you 'Ning'er', and 'Wanting' can't be called, you can only be called 'Baili Girl'. ”
"Good!"
Ding Ning just had one word, and Luo Xicheng couldn't tell what was wrong with answering two words, but he just felt that Ding Ning's current appearance was different from that in front of Guan Lumo, he didn't like it, and after a pause, Luo Xicheng said again:
"I've already asked someone to find out Baili Wanting's preferences and habits, and I will tell you one by one before I get married. I'm leaving. ”
After speaking, Luo Xicheng turned around and left. Soon after, Guan Lumo walked into the garden.
Ding Ning saw Guan Lumo walk in, and went out to greet him with a smile, and Guan Lumo also greeted him gently:
"Is Miss Baili satisfied with lunch? At the bottom, I checked the girl's pulse. ”
"It seems that Luo Gongzi left me and went to look for you." Ding Ning looked at Guan Lumo in front of him and said with a smile.
"Hmm...... This domineering young master said that our name must be changed, and I want to remind you that you have to call him 'Xicheng' in the future." ”
"I do as I am told."
Guan Lu Mo knew that the girl in front of him was full of worries and fears about the unknown future, so she took over all of Luo Xicheng's arrangements without resistance, he smiled and said:
"Let me call you 'Ning'er' one last time. Ning'er doesn't have to be afraid, although Xicheng is a bit overbearing, he is definitely not a bad person, you will slowly know that his domineering temperament is also because of his family reasons. I asked Xicheng, and he personally promised that when you complete his task, he will give you back your freedom, and when the time comes, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want, and he will not interfere. ”
Hearing Guan Lumo's words, Ding Ning smiled and thanked:
"Thank you Guan Gongzi for planning for me, thank you for giving me a reassurance. I also believe that Guan Gongzi's friend must not be a great evildoer. In the future, if I am free, I will come to thank me in person. ”
"Thank me, I don't have to, as long as the girl can play more chess with me, I will be happy."
"That'...... How about we fight again? ”
Ding Ning's smiling face made Guan Lu Mo unable to find any reason to refuse, to be honest, he himself also enjoyed the time playing chess with Ding Ning. Both of them walked over to the chessboard with smiles and sat down and began their game.
