Chapter 2 Apologies
Grandmother was seriously ill, and An Ning cheekily went to find the sisters of the family who had been friends to ask for the life-saving ginseng, but after eating countless closed soups, someone sent them to the door, and he was still the new emperor's favored minister, Xue Qingshan, who had a bright future.
"Ning'er, this girl really doesn't understand the rules more and more, and she won't invite General Xue into the house to sit and have a cup of tea!" An Ning's mother-in-law, Su Shiyuan, is also a young lady in the Jiangnan scholarly family, and she is the most gentle and polite, and when she saw that An Ning received ginseng, she didn't even say thank you, and she was a little ashamed for a while.
"Aunt is polite, how can the younger generation be bothered?" In Beijing for half a year, he has also learned a few points in dealing with people, and he will not be as stunned as he was half a year ago, but the foot that raised his leg and crossed the threshold before he finished his words still revealed his inner impatience.
Su Shi pursed his lips, "Where is General Xue, the humble house is shabby, don't dislike it!" ”
"General Xue will sit in the pavilion for the time being, and the women will go to make tea for the general!" Su took Xue Qingshan into the courtyard and sat on the stone bench under the grape trellis, turned around and went into the inner room to call her husband.
Xue Qingshan sat on the stone bench, his fingers tapping on the stone table, and looking around the courtyard.
This courtyard is said to be simple in fact is not necessarily, An Taiwei moved to this alley after being demoted, and he can usually make a living by selling some calligraphy and paintings, although the yard is not big, but now only live in the An family of five and a few rough mothers-in-law is not crowded. And although the sparrows are small, they are complete, and there are all kinds of orchids in the yard, which is also a little leisurely.
Less leaning, An Zheng came out of the main hall, and the captain who was still beautiful half a year ago is now only wearing a half-worn robe, but he has gray temples just after the age of confusion.
It stands to reason that An Zheng is now white, and when he sees Xue Qingshan, he wants to salute and greet him, but An Zheng's "literati arrogance" makes him really unable to bend down to a military general who was born with mud legs.
However, when Xue Qingshan saw An Zheng, he immediately got up to greet An, and said a lot of flattering words, listening to An Zheng's whole body was comfortable, An Zheng was going to give him ginseng money, he didn't want to live or die, An Zheng's impression of him suddenly improved. It happened that Su Shi came up with tea, so the two men chatted about the tea.
Since the dismissal, An Zheng doesn't like to go out, and the friends he used to make have also broken off, and he hasn't spoken freely like this for a long time, so the more he talks, the more he rises, but he often cites scriptures when he speaks, and deliberately drops his book bag in front of Xue Qingshan to show off his literary talents. When I say a few words, I will always glance at the back room intentionally or unintentionally, An Ning is boiling medicine for my grandmother in the back room, and it is not so difficult to endure this way.
Su Shi watched her husband talk and only shook her head, of course she knew that her husband had been depressed since his dismissal but could not find anyone to talk to, but now talking to a military general, it is not bullying people who are illiterate! Looking at Xue Qingshan, who was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, Su Shi could only purse his lips and smile, it was really embarrassing for him!
The two people didn't talk to each other, and they chatted for most of the day, until An Ning was ready to come out of the back wing, and An's father was still unsatisfied.
"Daddy, Grandma is awake!" Peace and tranquility. Unexpectedly, the ginseng sent by Xue Qingshan really had a miraculous effect, and An Ning boiled the medicine for her grandmother to take it and woke up after a while, and An Ning immediately came to inform An Zheng.
"Really?" An Zheng has always been filial, and when he heard that his mother woke up and was surprised, he didn't care about anything else and got up and ran to the back room, and the Su family naturally followed, and suddenly only An Ning and Xue Qingshan were left in the courtyard.
An Ning hesitated, as soon as her grandmother woke up, she came out to report the news, and at this time she also wanted to follow in to see the situation, but it seemed a little inappropriate to put the guests here.
"General Xue's ginseng, An Ning hasn't said thank you yet!" An Ning's head hung low, not because she was cowardly, but because the eyes of the person in front of her were so hot, An Ning really didn't dare to look up, as if she would be burned if she looked at it.
"Miss An doesn't have to be polite, she should be!" Xue Qingshan shouted, somehow, he didn't see An Ning, he had no six gods, and when he saw An Ning, he didn't return to his place, and he accidentally said what was in his heart.
An Ning's face turned red, and he secretly hated in his heart that this person didn't have a way to speak, what does it mean to "should"?
"Where is General Xue, the An family is now in a deep predicament, others are afraid to avoid it, General Xue is merciful, regardless of the previous suspicions, he gave ginseng to save his grandmother, and the An family is grateful! An Ning also wants to apologize for his previous disrespect to General Xue, is it An Ning's! ”
An Ning Fu, sincerely apologized to Xue Qingshan, at the birthday banquet of King Wei, although she didn't have the intention, but she did say insulting words, Xue Qingshan was ridiculed for a while, and now people don't care a lot, but she can't pretend that nothing has happened.
"Apologize?" Xue Qingshan paused, "Why does Miss An apologize?" ”
"Before the birthday banquet of King Wei, An Ning was disrespectful, it was really ......." An Ning was a little difficult to speak.
"Oh, that's it! What should I do?" Xue Qingshan scratched his head, "If you want to apologize, I should apologize!" When Japan is mine, Aoyama is a rough man, he didn't understand the rules when he first arrived in the capital, and he almost hurt Miss An, so I'm not here to compensate Miss An! ”
At the birthday banquet, Xue Qingshan was angry for a while, but it was not because he was angry, but because he was not angry, and then he stayed in the capital for more than half a year, and gradually knew the rules of these high-ranking families, so he knew how his behavior was at the beginning, and he knew that he almost ruined An Ning's innocence.
"General Xue is serious!" An Ning chuckled, thinking that this person was not as reckless as he thought, at least he was still reasonable and could realize his mistake.
An Ning smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and two pear vortices appeared at the corners of his mouth, Xue Qingshan was stupid, and his heart was hot, and he didn't choose to say anything, "I call you An Ning, don't call me a general, just call me Qingshan, the dog baby is fine, my mother will call me that!" ”
However, for Xue Qingshan, calling An Ning was still a great concession for him, in fact, what he wanted to call "Ning'er" in his heart was more, and he called her "Ning'er" softly and gently like Su's.
An Ning choked, thinking to herself that this person really opened a dyeing workshop with a little color, are they so familiar? And the name "dog baby" is too funny, looking at the tall and straight man in front of him, An Ning really can't associate him with the word "dog baby", generally people with bad backgrounds are desperately trying to cover up their past, this person is good, but he also shakes it out by himself!
Xue Qingshan seemed to be still immersed in inexplicable joy and couldn't help kicking his nose in the face, An Ning was a little helpless, pulled his face down and glared at him fiercely, turned around and entered the back wing, too lazy to pay attention to that scoundrel!
