155. Deliberation
Later, although Shuning took medicine, drank hot soup, and covered a thicker quilt to make a hot word, she was sure that she did not have a fever. However, when she saw Tongying again, she was just a little embarrassed, her heart beat a little more, but she didn't feel weird, so she was sure that she wasn't attracted to anyone.
That's right, how could she, a time-traveling girl who has lived for two lifetimes, like a little boy who is still "half the younger" than her? Illusion! It's a complete illusion! It must have been because it was too embarrassing at the time that he blushed!
She must be in her heart, and she is more generous when she sees Tongying. What makes her even more satisfied is that Tongying's attitude is also very generous and natural, as if she doesn't know anything, even Frangipani went to return the cloak and umbrella, he also put on a surprised look of "when did you take it", Frangipani thought that her own girl took it herself.
Shuning was very appreciative of his superiority, so she made him his favorite dish for a few days, and Tongying accepted it with a smile, and she didn't deliberately get angry.
After Duan Ning returned to Fangshan, Tongying grabbed him and talked secretly for a long time. Shuning had no idea what they were talking about, and when they left the room, Duanning announced that she was going to Liangxiang the next day. Shuning wanted to follow, but she had to cover up for her brother, didn't she? But Tongying stopped, looked at Shuning, and said, "I heard that you rained two days ago, and you are often dizzy, aren't you?" Don't go. I heard that that kid in Chongli is also in Liangxiang, and I will accompany your brother to visit my old classmates, how about it? ”
Shuning was slightly embarrassed, she also knew that it was very inconvenient to go out in such an extraordinary period. Now that Tongying has found another good name, she has accepted this kindness.
Duan Ning and Tong Ying went for a day and returned in the evening. Shuning hurriedly asked someone to prepare tea and dinner, and asked them how the trip was. I saw Duan Ning smile slightly, and there was joy in the corner of his eyes, and Shu Ning knew that it was done, and she became happy.
Tong Ying took a long sip of tea and sat down in an armchair. Breathe a sigh of relief. Said: "Chongli's boy." I used to be one-eyed, but I didn't expect that now I'm more and more Taoist. If it weren't for you, I would have been able to ignore him! Shuning hurriedly asked what was going on.
It turned out that on Zhenzhen's Zhuangzi, after Tongying went out to negotiate in person, Duanning got the opportunity to talk to Zhenzhen alone, but in a pavilion. Chongli and Tongying sat with Mrs. Wen in a room four or five feet away, which had a six-foot-wide window facing the pavilion where Duanning was located, and although they could not hear the sound, they could see every move clearly. Tongying was unhappy at the time, and saw that Duan Ning didn't care, so she didn't say anything.
He glanced at it from afar and saw Duan Ning and Zhenzhen talking across the table. It's still a rule. I couldn't help but feel anxious for my friend, but I saw that Zhenzhen had joy on her face and smiled very delicately. He put his mind at ease, and then put his mind back on Mrs. Wen's side.
Probably because noble ladies of a certain age love to be matchmakers, Mrs. Wen was happy when she saw Tongyingdi's character. Because Tongying only said that Chongli was a former classmate of Duanningdi when he came, and did not explain his identity as a local clan, Mrs. Wen heard that he had not yet married a wife, so she wanted to be a matchmaker for him. Tongying coped with it well and was not painful, but she was afraid that her hard attitude would annoy others and ruin her friends' affairs, so she had to endure it. But Chongli was full of thoughts on his sister, and he didn't have time to relieve him. It wasn't until Duan Ning and Zhenzhen finished talking that Tong Ying was out of the sea of suffering.
Shuning felt a little strange when she heard it, but she couldn't tell what the reason was, she just felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed the topic and said, "Since Sister Zhenzhen has made it clear, can this marriage be decided?" ”
Duan Ning and Tong Ying glanced at each other, their faces slightly bitter. Tong Ying said: "Their family has been in the limelight too much recently, and I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has decided to build a clock workshop for exclusive use, and General Wu Dan will help choose the person in charge." Now there are more and more people rushing to their homes. ”
Duan Ning smiled bitterly: "Actually, Chongli is more rigorous, but he is also afraid that the wind will spread out, and Yu Zhenzhen and I will be harmful." Now I heard that not only are there many powerful children who have the heart to propose marriage, but even the prince's clan has been involved, and Chongli is also hiding in Liangxiang because there are too many families who intend to marry their daughters to him, and they are afraid of offending people. Now even Brother Chongsi in his family wants to marry his daughter and make him a concubine. ”
Shu Ning frowned when she heard this: "What can I do about this?" In this case, my brother is engaged to Zhenzhen, hasn't it become a thorn in the side of others? Those people are all rushing for money and power, and the General's Mansion won't want to marry them, right? “
Duan Ning said: "Their family also has a headache, in a few days, Zhenzhen will come over in the name of visiting her sister, when the time comes, let's discuss a solution." ”
At this time, the daughters-in-law brought dinner, and they didn't talk any more.
On the second day, Tongying went back to Beijing, and it was not until a letter was sent here to inform Chongli and Zhenzhen of the final scheduled time to come to the door, and then they rushed back from Beijing.
On the day when Chongli and Zhenzhen came, Shuning arranged for five people to talk in the Guanlan Pavilion in the garden, where there were windows all around, and after they were all opened, the wind blew cool, and someone approached, and they could be found at any time.
After sitting down, Zhenzhen spoke first: "In the past few days, I have asked my family to go back to Beijing to inquire, and there are a few more families who want to come to propose, but they are all for my brother." Ama was annoyed, so he just hid in the Internal Affairs Office to take care of the affairs of the royal watch workshop, but there was no movement on the emperor's side, and I don't know what it meant. How are you talking these days? ”
Duan Ning said: "I have discussed with Ama Eniang, if I can get the emperor's decree to marry, it will be the best result, and when the time comes, I am not afraid of offending anyone." ”
Chongli frowned slightly: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to get the emperor's marriage, but if the emperor wants to give it, it is natural to focus on his own children first." Now the third elder brother sent someone to the house almost every other day to ask if his sister had returned, and he also gave gifts from time to time, because they are all books and chess games, not valuable things, and it is not easy to push, and he did not explicitly say that he wanted to marry his sister, so I Ama could not refuse clearly. The most troublesome thing is that there have been rumors in the East Palace recently, saying that the prince has taken a fancy to his sister. With these two princes here, how can the emperor give you a marriage? ”
Jinjin bit her lip and remained silent. Duan Ning also frowned.
Tong Ying suddenly smiled. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said slowly: "These things are not a problem, and I am afraid that it will be good for Duan Ning and Miss Zhenzhen." ”
Chongli said in a deep voice: "I don't see any benefit, I just want to ask the auxiliary prince." ”
Tongying didn't care either, and said: "The third elder brother has married the girl of the Yongqin Gongjia as the Zhengfujin, and the Xun'e family is a Manchurian family, and the father of the Fujin Dynasty, the Yongqin Gongguan, lives in the capital of Yipin." The same grade as General Wu Dan. No matter how you say it. The emperor will not agree to point out Miss Zhenzhen to the third elder brother as a side room. Therefore, the third elder brother is just showing diligence now, and in fact, it is not a problem. As for the crown prince...... He is now favoring the side concubine Li Jia, and he has designated the girl of the Shi family as the concubine. The Shi family is amazing, there are several governors, generals, and foreheads in the Manchus, maybe one or two more will be unified in a few months. How could the prince offend this Shi family for the sake of a small watch workshop? The reason why he released that rumor was only because he had a conversation with the third elder brother a few days ago Fengming Shenzhou full text reading corner. Just deliberately against him. ”
Duanning with
, I couldn't help but show joy on my face. Chongli asked, "Even if these two emperors are titled, what good will they do to my sister and Brother Duanning?" ”
Tongying took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "The average powerful family thinks that the two princes are interested, so naturally they don't dare to come to the door again." And the prince spoke up, and the third elder brother knew that he couldn't do anything, so he would naturally stop fighting. In this way, Miss Zhenzhen will naturally have a lot less trouble. ”
Duan Ning poured tea for him with his own hands. said: "You went back to Beijing to help me inquire about the news in the past few days, right?" Good brother. You've worked hard. Tongying smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Chongli said: "Even if the princes are not a problem, there are still those clans and noble relatives." We can't afford to offend those people. ”
Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Second brother, why do you know how to pour cold water?" Duan Ning hurriedly said: "Zhenzhen, don't say that, Brother Chongli is also worried about us." Jinjin didn't say anything more.
Chongli saw her so well-behaved, her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly that the girl was extroverted, and said coldly: "I'm just telling the truth." Duan Ning is still in filial piety, and he has no official position, so the emperor is afraid that he may not be willing to give this marriage, right? ”
"I have an idea about that." Shuning spoke up, "According to me, Sister Zhenzhen will directly ask the general to tell the emperor clearly." She saw that everyone looked at her in surprise, so she smiled and said: "Actually, as long as the general said to the emperor that he had received a lot of glory from the emperor's grace, the family was grateful to the emperor and was willing to be a loyal minister of the emperor for the rest of his life." Therefore, I don't dare to ruin the brotherhood of my brothers, let alone cling to the clan elites, I just want to be the emperor's courtier for a long time. In this way, the emperor will only think that your family is a loyal and pure minister, and most of them will not be angry. ”
Everyone was thoughtful, and Shuning continued: "As for the matter of my brother, the general can tell the emperor that in fact, when I was in Guangzhou, the two families intended to get married, but at that time, our grandfather passed away and wanted to return to Beijing to keep filial piety, so the matter of discussing relatives was suspended, but at that time, I still left a token, and it was decided to discuss it in the future." This is also the truth, but it is not a deception. The general can say this: Although his family is now noble, he cannot stand without trust, and he cannot violate the agreement of the year. When other families came to propose marriage before, they didn't dare to say it because they were worried that the man's family was still in filial piety. Now that the man's family is about to be full, please ask the emperor to give him a grace to complete this marriage. Isn't that enough? ”
She didn't finish speaking, in fact, last year's Tongying dedication to the picture, Duan Ning was contributing. Because this matter involved military aircraft, the emperor did not say anything to praise Tong Ying, but he must have known in his heart, if he had heard about Duan Ning's role in it, things might have gone more smoothly.
She secretly glanced at Tong Ying, and saw that Tong Ying was also looking at her, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and nodded slightly. She was immediately reassured.
Duan Ning and Zhenzhen both felt good when they heard it, Chongli pondered for a moment, and nodded and said: "This method is good, although the two families did not make a marriage contract explicitly, they actually knew each other in their hearts. In this way, the emperor will also feel that our family is loyal and trustworthy. He turned his head to look at Shuning a few times, and said with a smile: "Sister Shuning is really getting smarter now. ”
Tongying interjected: "Not only will the emperor think that you are loyal and trustworthy, but others will know about it, and they will also think that your family does not admire the powerful, does not forget the old friendship, and is a truly virtuous family, which is very good for Ling Zun's reputation, maybe even the person who said goodbye to Brother Chongli will also be sent away." Moreover, in order to keep filial piety, Duan Ning even put down half of the relatives who had been discussed, isn't it just the word 'filial piety'? If the emperor is interested, he will ask about his homework by the way, and maybe he will be blue-eyed. It's good for both of you. ”
At that moment, everyone was overjoyed, and many details were agreed, and the matter was agreed, just waiting for Wu Dan to find an opportunity to ask the emperor for advice. It's just that Tongying reminded that Duan Ning and Zhenzhen decided to meet as little as possible before the will to give the marriage down, so as not to cause more trouble.
In this way, the two of them are afraid that after today, it will be a long time before they can see each other again, and everyone also has eyes, leaving them room to be alone. Chongli originally intended to stand outside the pavilion, but he was dragged away by Tongying, but when he walked to the edge of Linyuan Pavilion, he refused to go any further, so Shuning had to stand there with him and wait.
Shuning watched Tingzhong's brother talk to Zhenzhen from a distance, and she was happy for them in her heart. When she turned her head, she accidentally noticed that Chongli had looked at her several times, so she asked, "What's the matter with Brother Chongli?" Chongli coughed twice, said it was okay, and turned his head to look at the mountain scenery opposite.
After a while, Shuning felt that Chongli was looking at her again, so she asked him what was wrong. Chongli still coughed a few times, but this time he hesitated for a while and spoke: "Sister Shuning, I remember...... You're going to draft next year, aren't you? ”
"Yes."
"So...... I don't know your family...... What are you prepared for...... Intend? ”
"What are you going to do?" Shuning was a little strange, "Do you mean to learn the rules?" ”
"No......" Chongli coughed a few more times, "I mean, what do you think...... Can you choose Sister Shuning, if not...... And what are the plans? ”
Only then did Shuning understand: "I haven't chosen yet, who knows what the result will be?" Although I think I'm mostly a chaperone, I always have to think about what I plan to do when the results come out. ”
The corners of Chongli's mouth curled, but he quickly stopped, and was about to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Tongying coldly.
Tong Yingcai rushed back from the garden gate and said, "Aunt sent someone to say that the meal has been prepared, let us go and eat." Shuning hurriedly said: "It's because I forgot the time, I'll tell my brother and Sister Zhenzhen to go." ”
She raised her feet and left, but Tongying glanced at Chongli with a smile, Chongli was a little uncomfortable, so he coughed a few times, but he didn't expect to cough too much, but he choked on himself, and suddenly coughed earth-shattering.
Tongying smiled and said, "Brother Chongli is okay, right?" This summer, people are prone to dry mouth, and licorice tea is brewed in the house here, which is the most suitable for this kind of weather to drink, Brother Chongli might as well try it? ”
Chongli easily took a breath and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid that it will be too troublesome for the master's family." ”
Tongying laughed deeper: "It's not troublesome, it's ready-made anyway, I'll just say hello to someone." ”
Chongli stopped talking, turned around and went to greet his sister and the others.
At lunchtime, there were still only five of them at the table, and the clan warmly beckoned the Zhenzhen brothers and sisters to eat more, probably because they were more familiar with Tongying, and faintly regarded him as half of their own, but not so enthusiastic.
Chongli has always kept a straight face, and Shuning thought that he couldn't get used to seeing Zhenzhen and Duanning coercing each other's dishes, so he secretly gave his brother a look and asked him to restrain a little. Only Tongying has been smiling and eating the food.
After the meal, everyone sat and chatted in the study, and after a while, they heard a commotion in front of them, which disturbed everyone's peace. The clan who was taking a nap ordered the people to go ahead and see what was going on.
A mother-in-law came back and said, "Madam, they have kicked out a matchmaker from the Menlu family, and the matchmaker is scolding him at the door of his house." ”
