Chapter 136: Imperial Might
"You go back first, don't come to me these days, don't worry about them when you hear these messages, believe me, there will be a reply in less than three days."
"But..."
"Okay, don't you believe me?"
Jing Ning's face did not change to appease Lan Yao, and finally coaxed her cheeks to stop bulging, and the thin red on her face representing anger also subsided, then she turned back, turned her head and instructed the little servant: "Send someone to clean up here, from now on, close the door, if someone comes to visit, go and check." As for the people outside, don't take care of them, and don't drive them out, but let them go. ”
The house slave at the door whispered, and after Jing Ning walked by, he looked up at her unusually, the daughter of the Zheng family was an ominous disaster star, and the reputation of disrespecting the royal family was spreading, Zheng Jingning actually ordered him like this, sure enough, this kind of Gaomen Lady's plan is not something that ordinary people can understand, but I don't know how long Zheng Jingning, the master, can do it with such a reputation.
At this time, Jing Ning was not flustered at all, and slowly went back to eat according to his habits, played chess pieces for a while, ate a cup of tea, and sat on the bed after watching the sun set. Wen Xing saw that he was anxious in his eyes, and he couldn't urge the young lady to hurry up and think about it, and he hated himself for being an elm brain, his anxious eyes were red, like a rabbit, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Wen Xing, what's the sound outside?"
Jing Ning leisurely flipped through a page of the book and asked.
"It's Cai'er in the yard of the second lady who is talking to the old woman who sweeps the floor, do you want it..."
"Got it, go close the window."
"But, miss!"
Wen Xing couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears of grievances for his master were all swirling in the candlelight.
"Do you really just let them talk about you? Wen Xing knew that Wen Xing was overstepping his words, but Miss, you can't just let those things outside do you like this! ”
Jing Ning turned a deaf ear, still looking at the book in his hand, and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"
"Wen Xing doesn't know..."
"I thought you were still awkward in your handkerchief, and if you twisted your newly colored nails, you would break them."
"Miss!"
Jing Ning finally put the book in his hand on the case he was leaning on, and said: "There are some things I don't want to tell you, it's for your own good, but I'm also afraid that you will be greedy and show the news for a while." But seeing that you are so worried about me, it is wrong for me to be the master. Then I will tell you this. It's just that you need to remember it carefully, you are not allowed to say what I am going to say next to your relatives and friends, not to the old lady, and not to Xiao Yuanlan. ”
"Yes, the slave knows what is important." Wen Xing responded.
"Those people outside are nothing more than relying on rumors that I am a disaster for the country, which is harmful to the fortune of the country, and even more detrimental to relatives and friends, but the origin of this rumor is nothing more than that I caught a wave of dead fish when I went to the banquet that day. These rumors would have been useful in the past, but if I really wanted to check them, it would be better to pull them one by one and say, the big guys are too lazy to distinguish the truth from the false, and only want to chew their tongues before and after tea, and if I don't go to the lintel at that time, this reputation will be rotten. ”
Wen Xing nodded.
"And now? They are rumored that I have no royal family, damage to the country, and are a lone star that damages the fortune of the country. And I, the lone star, happen to be the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. When the daughter of the prime minister's family at the top of the dynasty went out with her friend of the royal history, she was talked about by people all over the city. How big do you think this has to be?"
"The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, the friends of the father, the mother of the palace, the prince of the east, and even the Son of Heaven will all be involved. And me? ”
"At the end of the day, I just happened to run into a school of dead fish as I passed by the water's edge where they were staying."
At this time, Wen Xing was no longer comfortable, and when he heard this, he was also in a cold sweat, and the cold sweat on his body soaked through three layers of clothes when he stayed in a fairly cool room.
"This basin of sewage was originally dirty, but they were too greedy to find a basin that they couldn't pull to splash. Wait and see, in less than two days, there should be some movement in the palace. Now, come and change my clothes, it's dark and it's time to go to bed. ”
"Yes." Wen Xing obediently stepped forward to serve his own lady and went to the robe. What I put on this morning is still what I took off in the evening, and there are no wrinkles at all. Looking at his handkerchief that was about to be wrung up, Wen Xing's admiration for his young lady couldn't help but deepen again.
It was said that the master and servant slept peacefully all night, and Xiao Rin asked the black-clothed servant, "How is the situation over there?"
"There is no movement, Miss Zheng is not moving, but Zheng Xiuning is a little restless, jumping up and down in the house."
"Oh, a smart man has a smart man's way of living, and a stupid man naturally has a foolish man's way of dying. Got it, go down. ”
Xiao Yuan asked, "Why aren't you worried at all this time?"
"There's already news in the palace." Xiao Rin said, "Since it's okay, I'll go back first." ”
Xiao Yuan watched the silent eldest brother leave, and couldn't help but serve a cup of tea to his sister-in-law who had not passed the door in his heart.
The Zheng family does not have a rule for breakfast together, and Jing Ning met Zheng Xiuning at lunch today.
Zheng Xiuning, who didn't have a day of peace yesterday, showed off her martial arts very much today, and couldn't help but show a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes when she looked at her, and couldn't help but mock when she used less than half of the meal: "Some people can still sit still?" Yesterday, I don't know who ordered the servants at the door of our house to close the door, this blue sky and daytime closed a door, how can you look like a person who has done something wrong? I'm really upset for my father and grandmother, how can I be so old and have to suffer such a crime for my daughter. ”
Wen Xing was about to take a step forward to be upset for his own miss, thinking of what he said to his own miss yesterday, he withdrew his outstretched foot, silently bowed his head to serve his own young lady's meal, and no longer spoke, but he couldn't help but have a trace of contempt in his eyes when he looked at the second miss.
Zheng Xiuning saw that no one accused her of saying such a disproportionate word, and her mother, who had been very strict with her recently, also lowered her head and didn't speak, and she was even more carried away, almost forgetting the quiet and graceful woman she had pretended to be recently, bowing her head and sipping the soup with an arrogant look, and sat for a while and couldn't be idle, before she was about to speak, a maid ran straight in.
"Oh no, Second Miss, the palace has issued a holy decree of reprimand to you, saying that you are virtuous and jealous of the eldest sister, punish you for thinking behind closed doors for two months, and reward the eldest lady with a lot of things, the old lady has already received the decree, you can go out and have a look!"
"What!"
Zheng Xiuning couldn't help but exclaim. Being condemned by the royal family is a big deal! In the future, when she goes out to visit friends and talk about marriage, she will be instructed and discussed, not to mention that once the holy decree comes out, no one will mention it in the previous public opinion, this time she didn't hurt Zheng Jingning at all, and she actually put herself in!
Jing Ning, who had been keeping his head down and eating without speaking, finally raised his head at this time, looked at Zheng Xiuning and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet."
