Chapter 43: Sprouted
Ning Zimo sighed: "Didn't you see that I was still waiting for my brother to have dinner together." ”
Ning Zimo scooped a bowl of fish soup as he spoke, then put the soft Xiaoli in his arms on the table, pushed the fish soup towards it and said, "Would you like to drink more today?" ”
The housekeeper saw that his own Miss Yan was serving a cat, and he didn't say anything, this Miss Yan has always been served by others, she is good at serving a cat, this cat's life is better than the people in the house, every day this Miss Yan changes her way to make different things for it to eat.
"What's wrong? Is Daddy in a hurry to find his brother? While feeding Xiaoli, Ning Zimo saw that the housekeeper was still waiting at the door, so he asked,
The housekeeper took a step back a little embarrassed and said, "No, the master has something urgent to find the young master, it's been two or three days in a row." ”
At this moment, Ning Zimo remembered that his father did tell him every day that if he saw his brother, let him go to the study and find him if he had something important.
Ning Zimo had a bad premonition in his heart, walked to the door, and asked the housekeeper, "What is Daddy looking for my brother?" ”
The housekeeper looked at Ning Zimo a little confused, and then bowed his head again and said, "This slave doesn't know either, when the master came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he said that he was in a hurry to see the young master." ”
Ning Zimo lowered his head and muttered secretly: "Could it be that my father stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for an afternoon?" What does this have to do with my brother? ”
She didn't know why she was a little blocked, so she wanted to go to the study without saying a word.
When a certain cat saw that the person was gone, the cat's eyes narrowed, and it disappeared into the room in an instant.
Yu Numu sent the young lady away, and was about to order someone to take the food back and warm it up when he saw that the black cat on the dining table was gone, and couldn't help asking, "Have you seen the young lady's cat?" ”
"Back to Sister Yunu, the cat seems to have gone out with Miss."
Yu Nu smiled: "It's really that people and cats can't be separated for a while, by the way, you take this soup to the kitchen to heat it up, and the provincial lady will be cold when she comes back later." ”
Xiaoli did go out behind Ning Zimo, but he climbed directly through the window, went up to the roof with a bullet, and climbed over a few roofs with a vigorous body, and after a while, he arrived at the roof of the study room with a candle flame, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see Ning Zimo, so he searched and got off the roof.
When Ning Zimo walked to the study, she happened to hear a slight conversation in the study, and she was overjoyed, it turned out that her brother had returned.
She was about to raise her hand to push the door, but she heard Ning Guodong ask, "Li'er, what do you think of the incense of the Prime Minister's family?" ”
Ning Zimo actually didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on the corners of the wall, but at this moment, there were two villains fighting in Ning Zimo's heart.
Bad villain: "Aren't you just listening for a while?" What's the big deal. ”
Good villain: "No, it's not a gentleman's behavior." ”
"I'm a woman, what kind of gentleman is you?"
"No, if my brother knows that I eavesdropped on him, he will definitely say that I am not well-behaved."
The two people in Ning Zimo's mind were already fighting between struggles, but unfortunately, the good villain was pressed to the ground by the bad villain, unable to move, in fact, it was Ning Zimo's curiosity that overcame everything, and at this moment he secretly squatted in the corner of the wall and eavesdropped.
"Ugly."
Ning Zimo covered her lips and chuckled, why was her brother so cute when he spoke.
"Nonsense, that girl who stayed fragrant also grew up with me, she looks quite peugeot, and her tutor is good, it is said that since the beginning of the marriage, those who seek marriage have to break through the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Ning Xuanli's eyes didn't bother to roll, he stood there motionless, but his thin lips lightly opened: "No matter how good she is, she is not as good as Xiao Mo by half a point." ”
The corners of Ning Zimo's lips were about to grin to the back of his head, why did his brother speak so sincerely.
Ning Guodong's face also stiffened when he heard this, and he nodded after a while: "Yes, yes, it's really not as good as my family." Oh, I'm not talking about this now, I'm talking about your family, now that the people who look at the past, the only one who deserves your identity is the fragrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Your family?
When Ning Zimo heard this, his heart was shelved, could it be that this father was planning to marry his brother?
No, no.
Ning Zimo was the first one to refuse in his heart.
"No matter what the general says, whether you come out of heaven or not, I will never marry it."
Ning Xuanli refused these words and was about to leave, but Ning Guodong got up and continued to persuade: "I also know that you don't want to, but where is the face of the prime minister, if our general's mansion refuses so decisively, the prime minister's face is not good-looking, and your father and I are officials in the same dynasty as the liucheng, if this matter is not handled well, their prime minister's mansion will definitely hate our general's mansion." ”
"If there is anything bad to refuse, while no one knows about the matter yet, and it hasn't made a big fuss yet, it's better to make it clear as soon as possible."
Ning Xuanli's tone contained an undoubted refusal, and Ning Guodong twisted his eyebrows and said: "I didn't agree either, but our general's mansion has to be tactful, I have been friends with the prime minister for thirty years." ”
"Then how to refuse, please bother the general."
"I know you don't like the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your family affairs are not up to me, but Li'er, I'm also for your own good, the Prime Minister is an old fox, if you brush his face so firmly, you will have a big resistance in the future."
Ning Xuanli looked directly at Ning Guodong with a warm gaze, and spit out two words for a long time: "Thank you." ”
"Li'er, you also know that man has great hopes for you, and he also hopes that you can pocket the Prime Minister's Mansion for the future."
Ning Zimo squinted, feeling as if he didn't understand this sentence.
Ning Xuanli was silent for a long time before asking, "Does that person hope so?" ”
Ning Guodong nodded firmly and said: "I know that I am not qualified to beak your marriage, so I made a special trip to the palace, that person really hopes that you can take the Prime Minister's Mansion into your pocket and marry you, in this way, the power in your hands will be strong in the future." ”
"Give me time to think about it."
Ning Xuanli is lonely and cold, even after so many years, Ning Guodong has known this child's temperament since he was a child, so he doesn't care about his cold attitude, and nodded and said: "You just know it in your heart, by the way, Mo'er should be waiting for you in Huating Garden for dinner, you can go quickly." ”
Ning Xuanli's gaze softened for a moment when he heard Mo'er's words, and he turned around and couldn't wait to go back.
"Miss, why are you here?"
The housekeeper's voice was a little loud, which frightened Ning Zimo, who was listening intently to the corner, she was coldly frightened, and said unnaturally: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Ning Zimo intuitively felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards, she had eavesdropped for so long, and there was only one result, that is, her brother considered marrying Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She felt that her heart was in a mess, her eyes were flustered and she didn't know where to put it, when Ning Xuanli heard the movement and chased out, Ning Zimo had already run away without a shadow, Ning Xuanli said damn it for the first time, and then chased in the direction where Ning Zimo disappeared.
"Xiao Mo, are you in there?"
Ning Xuanli's action of pushing open Ning Zimo's door was a little big, startling the jade slave who was placing the dishes and chopsticks, Ning Xuanli quickly swept around and found that there was only one jade slave in the room, and asked, "Miss?" ”
"I went to the study to find the master, and I haven't come back yet."
Ning Xuanli listened and walked out again.
Ning Zimo was hiding in her brother's study and was sad, she looked at the things in the study, and thought that another woman would move in her brother's yard, and that woman would sleep in the same room and eat at the same table with her brother.
The warm palms that only held him would hold her hand from now on, and every gentle smile belonged to the woman next to him, and the most important thing was that the woman would stand by his side with the most righteous and bright identity.
She is not qualified to be jealous, she knows that her brother will marry her sister-in-law sooner or later, but why, she feels sad in her heart, every breath seems to tear her heart, this kind of suffocating sadness, Ning Zimo really hasn't tasted it.
She pursed her thin lips, panicked in her heart, pinched her palms tightly, couldn't help but be angry at the pen, ink and paper in front of her, and waved her hand to sweep the ornaments on the table.
She knew that her brother liked to use Jingzhou Xuanbai paper the most, so she specially ordered someone to bring it from Jingzhou, and the inkstone was also a rare and regular inkstone, and there was a crisp sound when she fell to the ground at this moment.....
Ning Xuanli only knew that there was someone here when he heard the movement, he secretly sighed that he was stupid, he was always looking for it in Hua Tingyuan, so he hurriedly came to his study non-stop, and when he pushed the door open, he saw that his desk was ruined and unhuman, and the white paper on the ground was thrown all over the ground, and the culprit looked at him with a reckless face.
Looking at it, Ning Zimo's eyes turned red, and he sat back on the table angrily.
"Xiao Mo, what's wrong?"
Ning Xuanli closed the door, put out another light, and then walked up to Ning Zimo, ready to raise his hand to hold the person in his arms as usual, but Ning Zimo took a big step back and said detachedly: "It's nothing." ”
Ning Xuanli chuckled, Ning Zimo became even more angry when he heard this laughter, and he was about to leave with a blushing face.
Ning Xuanli pulled the person at the moment when Ning Zimo was about to pass by, not only did he hold it, but the other hand was not idle to imprison the person's waist, and he pulled the person into his arms with one force, and when he saw that she was about to struggle, he hugged the person even harder.
"Well, don't move."
Ning Zimo may just want to be pretentious, but listening to his brother's hoarse voice, coupled with the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes, he really didn't move, and now the two of them didn't move, but something in the middle was slowly sprouting and growing up.
"Brother, you are shameless."
Ning Zimo's voice was as small as a mosquito in summer, but Ning Xuanli heard it clearly, he was not as thin-skinned as Ning Zimo, he was closer to her ear, and asked with a chuckle, "Are you jealous?" ”
"What jealousy? Brother, you want to marry your sister-in-law, what kind of vinegar do I eat? ”
Ning Zimo's face was already red, but now he was poked in the heart, and his face was even more sad, and he was uncomfortable.
"Hmm, it looks like I'll marry a wife, Xiao Mo, you also agreed?"
Ning Zimo stopped talking, and said after a while: "If you marry your sister-in-law, I will marry someone immediately." lest I see you in love in the General's Mansion every day, and my heart will be panicked. ”
Ning Xuanli's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said unhappily: "You dare to marry?" ”
Ning Zimo didn't hear the cold meaning in his brother's tone, and still muttered unconvinced: "When the eldest woman gets married, why don't I dare to marry?" ”
