Chapter 217: The Ring Match
Mingmei didn't know what Ning Shangmo meant, and she didn't dare to make a decision. Just keep your head down and don't speak.
Ning Shangmo thought that she was willing to be a concubine who spoke lightly, but she was embarrassed to say it. smiled and said: "I actually don't advocate marrying a child lightly, of course you are an exception, you have been serving him, and you should be accepted." In the future, it is also a beautiful thing for the two of us sisters to serve each other together. ”
When Mingmei heard this, she saw that she was sincere, and knew that Mrs. Prime Minister was really planning for her, so she said out loud: "Back to Mrs. Prime Minister, Master Xiang has no intention of accepting me into the room, and I don't want to." Now that Xiangye has his wife to take care of me, I am relieved. The slave begged the Prime Minister's wife for grace to hire me outside, and I could still work in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The slave and maid grew up here, and they were reluctant to leave here. When the master left, he once told the slave and maid to take good care of the master. ”
Ning Shangmo heard this, and asked out loud: "What you said is true?" ”
Mingmei nodded in response: "The slave doesn't dare to lie, what she says is true." ”
"Don't want to be taken in by Xiangye?" Ning Shangmo continued to ask.
Mingmei nodded and said very seriously: "Although I have been serving Xiangye, I grew up together since I was a child, and he is the master, but in my heart I treat him as a younger brother." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded when he heard this: "If you want to continue to stay in the Xiangfu to do things, then you can only be the husband of the Ning Mansion or the steward of the Xiangfu." If it weren't for me and Xiangye to marry you as Miss Mingfu and marry a good family, wouldn't it be better for you to become the wife of the head of the family? ”
Mingmei shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to be the wife of the main family, I just want to live a small life in peace and stability, and watch you and Xiangye live happily." ”
Ning Shangmo was also very moved when he heard this, and secretly wondered in his heart that Ning Yi, the housekeeper outside the Ning Mansion, was at the age of marriage matching, and he could match her. However, this matter still has to be discussed with Ming Qingyan, and there is no hurry.
She just wanted to ask Qingmingmei's thoughts, so that she could be prepared and make plans.
After all, she has now truly become Mrs. Mingxiang, and there are some things that she has to face and deal with.
Ming Qingyan came back from the outer hall, and Ning Shangmo was about to go out.
"How's the preparation for the ring match?"
"I'm almost ready, and I can start selecting good players tomorrow." Ming responded softly: "Brother Leng and Brother Mo are accompanying Yun Yishu to make the final preparations. This time, if Xiao Yunzi can win the lord, he will lead the troops to the battle. In the future, if you have military achievements, you can convince the ministers that women are no worse than men, and they can only accept her identity and dare not say anything more. ”
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but nod when he heard this, "This is the best way, but I am afraid that there will be danger." ”
"Don't worry, with Brother Leng and Brother Mo escorting me with her, she will be fine." Ming comforted her lightly.
As soon as his words fell, Hua Lanyao walked in and said, "I'm going too." ”
Ming Qingyan couldn't help laughing out loud: "What are you messing with?" ”
Ning Shangmo also smiled: "Yes, could it be that you are reluctant to let your family go with you?" ”
Hua Lanyao listened to the two of them singing and making fun of her, and suddenly stared at them seriously, looking at this and that, with a look on her face.
Ning Shangmo was stared at by her and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" Is there something on my face or does he have something on his face? ”
Hua Lanyao sneered: "You don't have anything on your face, but you have a problem." ”
"What's the problem." Ning Shangmo looked at Ming lightly with a stunned expression. He also shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn't know.
"The two of you are different today, the husband sings with the wife, is it ...... you" Hua Lanyao asked with a smile.
Before she finished her words, Ning Shangmo's face turned silently red, and Ming smiled awkwardly, stood up, and pretended to pour tea.
Although Hua Lanyao didn't ask what she said later, she understood, and sure enough, as she thought in her heart, they were really together. I couldn't help but smile happily: "Great, this is a big event, it is worth celebrating." ”
Ning Shangmo pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is worth celebrating?" ”
"Celebrate the two of you in the cave room." Hua Lanyao covered her mouth and smiled.
"Bah, what's there to celebrate? Haven't we already been in church? But you didn't have the same room, and now you can finally have a round house, is it worth celebrating? Hua Lanyao said, seeing her get up to beat her, she hurriedly smiled and ran away.
But I don't want to just crash into someone's arms.
The man reached out to catch her and quipped, "Xiao Huazi, why are you so excited?" Recognize the wrong person? See clearly, I'm not Brother Mobai, I'm Leng Qingrong, don't throw yourself into the wrong embrace. ”
Only then did Hua Lanyao see clearly, Leng Qing Rong Mo Baiyun walked in. couldn't help but blush with shame, hid behind Mo Bai, and whispered: "Xianggong, I didn't mean to." ”
Seeing this situation, it would be Ning Shangmo's turn to clap his hands happily and smile: "Great, does Xiao Huazi know?" This is the Present World, and you are making fun of me. ”
"I didn't make fun of you, the fact I said, you and Xiangye have a round house, it's something worth celebrating." Hua Lanyao said with a smile.
"Wow, Mo'er, have you had a round house with Xiangye?" Yun Yishu couldn't help but ask excitedly and loudly.
Ning Shangmo's face was flushed with shame again, and he couldn't help but scold: "Little hoof, you also come to make fun of me." ”
"Brother Ming should have a treat, and a few of us will go to Juxian Building in the evening to have a good gathering." Leng Qingrong said with a smile.
Ming coughed lightly and said with a smile: "It's still early before dark, so it's important to get down to business first." We divide the work. ”
Only then did a few people put away their laughter, nodded and responded: "Okay, everything is just according to the orders of the prime minister." ”
"Mo Bai and I will supervise tomorrow's ring match, Brother Leng, you accompany Xiao Yunzi to continue to prepare for the fight. As for Mo'er, you can go to Ning Ji with Hua Lanyao, Ning Ji is in the recovery period and needs people. After Ming Qingyan finished the distribution, everyone had no opinion.
But he didn't want a voice to come: "Xiangye, Xianggong and I can also do things, if you don't feel comfortable, just assign us an errand." ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see the eldest princess of Xiliang walking in with her husband Qin Zhifeng.
Ming nodded lightly and smiled: "Great, so we have two more helpers." ”
"Eldest princess, you just go to Ningji with Mo'er and them. As for Brother Qin, he went with me and Mo Bai to supervise the preparations for the ring match. What do you think? ”
The eldest princess of Xiliang smiled gratefully when she heard this: "Thank you Xiangye for your success." By the way, don't call me the eldest princess in the future, even in Xiliang, there is no eldest princess like me, not to mention that this is in Daling. I just changed my name last night and took my husband's last name. It's called Qin Yuyan. ”
Ming nodded lightly and smiled: "Okay, I'll call you Yuyan in the future." ”
Ning Shangmo and Hua Lanyao walked up to the front and took one of her arms, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to Ning Ji." ”
The eldest princess of Xiliang also nodded happily, "Okay." ”
So, everyone went to work according to the division of labor.
The next day, in the open space outside the noon gate of the Daling Imperial City, a grand ring match was set up.
Early in the morning, people flocked to this side, some came to fight in the ring, and more people watched the excitement.
Ning Shang Mo Ming and others were all on the scene to maintain order and supervise the smooth progress of the ring match.
The tournament was held over three days. The first day is the audition, and the selected ones will be screened for their life experience, for fear of sneaking into Xiliang or Beimeng's spies. As long as the generation is bullying, and the net worth is innocent.
Those who pass will enter the two-to-two duel on the morning of the second day. The winner advances to the afternoon draw, and the winner advances to the third day of the Grand Final.
On the third day, the top ten are selected, and the first place is the general who leads the troops, and then the military positions are reduced in turn.
Of course, anyone who can enter the finals on the second day can enter the barracks in the order of nouns and get a small military position.
Because the big war is imminent, the crowd is excited, so there are a lot of people who sign up for the ring competition.
After an intense day of competition, half of the applicants were basically screened out.
In the evening, Ming Qingyan and the others did not go to Juxian Tower to celebrate as planned, but all gathered at the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion to screen the list of people who entered the second day's selection competition.
In the end, 280 qualified candidates were selected and officially entered the second day of the match.
By the time the final list was finalized, it was already the third watch in the evening.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but stretch his waist and said loudly: "I'm so tired, my old eyes are dizzy." ”
As soon as her voice fell, Gonggong Hong's voice came, "Eldest princess, the emperor and Concubine Yun know that you must be tired and hungry." I specially ordered our family to give you imperial food, so that you can make up for your body. Ming'er will continue to work hard. ”
Ning Shangmo smiled: "Gonggong Hong, you are really timely." ”
Father-in-law Hong smiled: "Our family has been here for a long time, but I didn't dare to disturb you when I saw that you were still busy." Seeing that you are finally done, you dare to speak. ”
Ning Shangmo hurriedly put Gonggong Hong in his seat and said with a smile: "Gonggong Hong has worked hard. ”
"It's not hard, it's better than you, I'm nothing." Gonggong Hong said with a smile.
Hualan Yaoyun Yishu and others helped the little eunuchs bring the food to the table, looking at the full table, everyone couldn't help but be very happy, after a tiring day, they could finally eat a beautiful meal.
"Grandpa Hong, there is still a big event to celebrate tonight at this table." Hua Lanyao squeezed her eyes at Yun Yishu and smiled,
Gonggong Hong asked with a smile: "How did you say this, let our family listen to it?" ”
Ning Shangmo knew what Hua Lanyao was going to say, and hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Huazi, you are not allowed to give me too many mouths and tongues, be careful that I tear your mouth apart." ”
Gonggong Hong is familiar with all of them, so he has fewer scruples about each other.
Hua Lanyao hid behind him and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Mo'er was in the same room with Xiangye, we wanted to celebrate them, but we didn't expect that there were too many people who signed up for the fight today, and the list of errand officers couldn't be reviewed at all, so we joined the audit and couldn't celebrate for them." You sent out this emperor's reward, just in time to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, to celebrate them, last night round house. Grandpa Hong, do you say that it adds another layer of happiness? ”
