After that, Wanning suddenly stopped, and everything was very regular, making the family breathe. Nala was a little suspicious, but because her daughter said, "I'm like this now, what else can I do?" I really figured it out. She no longer doubted.

It's just that Wan Ning still doesn't want to see outsiders, in addition to staying in her own small courtyard, even if she occasionally walks around other places in the house, she doesn't want to talk to others, and sometimes she takes Yahuan to sit in the garden water pavilion for most of the day, which makes it easy to find. If the sisters-in-law asked, they said that it was because they were bored and went out to relax. Nara felt sorry for her daughter, so she ordered the others to stop stopping her.

It's just that there are two more maids around Wanning, one of whom is called Xiaojuan, who is very loyal and clever, and even likes Wanning.

Shuning sometimes thinks about her, but she is always stopped by her mother. Shi Dao: "She doesn't even want to see her two sisters-in-law now, and she is also very cold to her younger brother, you just entered the palace draft with her before, and now you have a finger marriage, who knows what she will think?" It's better not to provoke her. Shuning was uneasy, and always felt that she should find a chance to visit, but remembering what she had said to herself in the palace, she was a little cold.

Recently, there have been a little twists and turns in the small matter between Shuning and Tongying. The successor of Prince Jian's Mansion has already arrived in the capital, and she thinks that Xiaoding is best set on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and it is good to carry it out as soon as possible, and she wants to rush back to Fengtian as soon as possible.

But he wasn't very happy. She had heard that now this Jifujin and Fangfujin were fighting happily, probably because she didn't want to stay in Beijing for too long, but she was unwilling to let go of her eldest daughter-in-law completely, so she wanted to make a quick decision. But for the clan. The eighth day of junior high school is too hasty, and I am afraid that I will not be able to prepare completely. She is more inclined to go home around the Mid-Autumn Festival, because Zhang Bao ordered people to send a message home, saying that for the sake of the autumn harvest, he was ordered by the political envoy to inspect all parts of Zhili, and he would probably go to the vicinity of Shuntianfu before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he should be able to spare a day to go home. She wanted her husband to be involved.

But her objection was not the point, because the petty official sent by the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of Tong Yingding's wedding suggested that the time was in late September or later, because the Ministry of Rites had just completed the prince's wedding. I was also busy with the wedding of the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, and then there were several happy events of the clan, hoping to postpone the wedding of Tongying, the prince of Bei.

So Prince Jane's Mansion started a fight with the Ministry of Rites, and the party Tongying. But he packed up his baggage and went out on patrol with the holy car.

Before he left, Tuo Duanning sent a thick letter to Shuning, and although Shuning was happy when he received the letter, he was a little unhappy that he could not contact him for more than 20 days. I was very depressed when I couldn't see each other. Now I can't even get through letters, and maybe I won't be able to meet occasionally like I used to before before I officially get married. She really hated this "dross" in the marriage customs of the ancients.

Come to think of it. The last time we met, it was already June, and I remember that his face was a little pale at that time. There are also dark circles under the eyes. People have also lost weight. I think it's because it's very business. This time I will go out, and it will definitely be harder.

Duan Ning saw her like this. smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, he's such a big person, others don't know, don't you know his ability?" Thousands of miles of desert have broken out, he must have someone waiting in Chengde, what will he suffer? Besides, before you asked me to send the soup recipe, he obediently asked someone to make it and eat it, but now he has nothing to do, he looks good, and you made a few clothes, and he is not afraid of what torn clothes he will wear again. At this point, he forced a smile and turned his face away and coughed lightly twice before turning his head and continuing: "So, you should take this opportunity to stop a little, let me take a breath, and stop being a messenger every day." ”

After that, he pointed to the letter and said, "This one is thicker than the previous ones, I guess I want to finish it for more than 20 days, right?" Shuning was ashamed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law stewed ginseng chicken soup for you today, go and drink it." Then she pushed him out of the room. Duan Ning shook his head and sighed as he walked out: "The woman is not staying, if you have a husband, you don't want a brother, it's really sad-" With a ridiculous smile on his face, Shu Ning pushed him out with hatred, closed the door and went back to the house to read the letter.

In the letter, Tongying greeted her physical condition and foot injury as usual, and talked about what she had done recently and the interesting anecdotes she had heard.

In addition, he also mentioned that he has recently planned to buy a house such as a separate courtyard in the future, and he is ready to move in when he is going to paint or relax. He looked at a few places, but he couldn't decide where to choose, so he wrote to ask Shuning what he meant. The places he is optimistic about include Jishui Tanbian, Shichahainan, Liubukou, Xiaohongluochang, Pichai Hutong and Twine Hutong. In addition, he is still worrying about whether to build his own house or buy ready-made land.

Shuning was a little happy in her heart, knowing that he was asking himself what he meant for the place where he would live permanently after marriage. It seems that Tongying and herself want to go together, and they all have the idea of moving outside after marriage, although it is not easy to separate the family clearly, but like their own family and the fourth uncle's family, they will put a few courtyards and villages outside, and presumably the palace will not stop them. There are many powerful people in Beijing, and there are many people who have gardens in other courtyards in addition to the main house. In that case, she had to think about it, as it was

If you want to buy a new house when you get married, that's half of her.

Tong Ying is optimistic about the six places, she only knows four, among which the small red Luo factory is near the Earl's Mansion, although it is very convenient to go back to her mother's house, but it is too close, I don't know if there will be any opinions on the side of Prince Jane's Mansion? In the other six places, she remembered passing by, there were several small waterholes, and along with the first two places, Tongying seemed to be very interested in the place near the water. It's not surprising to think that when he borrowed the Fangshan Villa, he also lived by the water. She hadn't heard of the other two, so she had to ask her brother when she came back.

As for whether to build it yourself or buy it ready-made, each has its own advantages. Building it yourself can ensure that it is satisfactory, but it takes a long time, costs a lot of money, and is very troublesome. Although Tongying made a shellfish and had an annual salary of 1,300 taels, he had been the prince of Puguo for the past two years, and his silver was only 500 taels, even if he spent some money to save money, as a boy, he probably wouldn't have too much savings. However, Tong Ying mentioned in the letter that Prince Jian's mansion has a lot of property, and he is one of his sons-in-law. The dividends shared every year are also considerable, so there is still plenty of money on hand, which makes Shuning feel a lot more relaxed. It's just that she can't take care of these things clearly, and Tongying has an errand on her side, who has time to take charge of building a house?

If you buy a ready-made house, you will probably save a lot, and the key is to save trouble. She felt that the small house in Sanjin was enough, and like Xinran's house, it didn't need to be too big. At most, a small garden. Such a house, according to the price of the fourth uncle's house a few years ago, can be solved within two thousand taels. It's just that the house you bought is probably not to your liking.

As a last resort. It is to buy a similar house and make some modifications as needed, so the money spent is also limited.

Shu Ning thought about it and felt that this method was the best. So be it. When she was free one day, she took a carriage to go around the places and decided which one to choose.

She was trying to get up, but she didn't notice her mother enter the house. When he found out, he looked at her with a smile. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly put away the letter. Pretending to be casual, he asked, "When did E-Niang come in?" What's the matter with finding a daughter? ”

Shi said lightly: "It's nothing." Several wives of the Fucha family came. Didn't you say last time that you were going to send something to Xinran girl and her little Mingyu? Take this opportunity to ask Mrs. Fucha to transfer it over. ”

Shuning answered, and found a few needles and threads. They are all very fine, and there are a few children's clothes and two pairs of small shoes, which are very childish and cute. She said: "I haven't seen Ming Yu in the legend of martial arts, I don't know how big she is now, this is what I did according to the size of Brother Xian'er when he was seven or eight months old, as long as it is not small, I can wear it sooner or later." ”

Shi looked at the shoes a few times and thought they were very cute, so he said, "Do two more small circles like this, and use them as ornaments, which is also very joyful." Do you want to go out and meet him? Say hello to Mrs. Fucha? ”

Shuning was excited, and hurriedly said: "No need, this is a lot of fun for the wives in the month, so I don't want to send it to the door automatically." ”

Shi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, that Eniang went first." After a pause, she put on a smile again, and said softly: "Put away the things, don't let outsiders see them." And he left.

After Shuning understood what she meant, she only felt that her face was hot, and she hurriedly put away the letter and put it in a box next to the dresser, together with the previous letter.

~~~~~~~~~~~ = I am the ~~~~~~~~~~~~ of the dividing line where the topic is diverted

When the evening family talked about the arrival of several wives of the Fucha family during the day, Shuning was very surprised. It turned out that the eldest aunt Nala Shi specially invited them to come, only saying that she wanted to enjoy the newly bloomed osmanthus flowers in the garden of her family, but in fact, she wanted to marry.

Among the wives on the other side, there is a wife of the Minister of the Interior, Ma Sikadi, and a son named Ma Long, who was originally a friend of Duanning Chengning and their generation. This person is still good-looking, but his literary talent is mediocre, and his martial arts are not outstanding, and he only donated a five-grade dragon guard, and he has never been outstanding. Because he is good at business, he is in charge of more than half of the family's industry, so he also has some status in the family. He once swore that he would marry a beautiful wife, but because he had no intention of career, outsiders thought he was just a gentleman, and some famous people were reluctant to marry their daughters to him, and his family was unwilling to marry a small family, so the marriage has not been found.

The Nala clan didn't take him seriously, but the matter of his daughter was so big that the families who were originally optimistic about it no longer mentioned the marriage, so they had to hit the idea on this Ma Long. The other party has no official position, and he was born in a famous Fucha family, and his uncle Ma Qi is one of the emperor's most important people. What's even more rare is that the other party only asks for the beauty of everyone's background, and Wanning is in line with this.

Mrs. Maska, too, seemed to be a little moved, and said that she would go back and ask her son what he meant, but she made it clear that she had to make sure that the girl had left the sign. The Nala clan is naturally very happy, as long as the fifth elder brother no longer comes to entangle, it is not difficult to pick up the brand.

After listening to her mother's narration, Shuning's face was a little ugly. She remembered this Marlon, it seemed that she had once upon a time

One of Jinjin's admirers. He doesn't sound like he's sincere, beauty, just interested. If Wanning really became this person's wife because of her beauty, then what should she do when she gets older and her beauty fades in the future? Not to mention that the other party is likely to accept a lot of beautiful concubines. Israel's servant is already sad, how could Wan Ning accept this marriage? If she doesn't accept it. Her parents forced her again, what should she do?

Shuning began to worry about Wanning, but Duan Ning said when he saw this: "Actually, Ma Long is not so bad, he has a straightforward temper, is extremely filial to his parents, has a wide range of friends, and has many friends. Won't be annoying. He likes beauty, but he has an old problem, but he never stalks, as long as the other party explicitly refuses. Or if they are married, they will no longer be entangled. As a friend, he is actually a good person. ”

Shuning listened to it and felt better. But this person's preference for beauty is never an advantage, and Wan Ning will never accept a man who will fall in love with other beauties anytime and anywhere as her husband.

However, Wanning's wishes were not taken seriously at this time. The Nala clan seems to be iron-hearted, and plans to get married to the fifth elder brother. asked other ladies in the palace for help, put aside her daughter's brand, and then immediately engaged her daughter to get married. Strive to let her marry next year. Although Malone is not really lacking. But the victory is from a famous family. His father and uncle were both high-ranking officials, and his family was also wealthy. has a good temper and does not dislike his daughter. If this opportunity is missed again, the daughter will have to marry in a foreign country.

Wan Ning couldn't protest repeatedly, so she had to give up, and after a night, she proposed that now that rumors were going on in Beijing, she wanted to avoid the capital for a while, and wait for things to be cold. Taking advantage of the fact that the fifth elder brother is not in the capital now, she will leave first, and she will not be afraid that he will come to the door again in the future. When the matter passes, maybe Concubine Yi will lose her anger and take the initiative to put her brand. Besides, doing so is also good for the Malone family.

Nala was persuaded by her and promised to send her to Baoding Zhuangzi to recuperate for a while, and Zhang Bao was an official there, so he could take care of it. She specially begged, and the latter agreed, and when her daughter passed Xiaoding and returned to Baoding, she would take more care of Wanning.

Wan Ning thanked the third aunt according to her mother's instructions, but she thought that it was better to leave Beijing as soon as possible, so as to save more dreams at night. And you don't need to bring too many people to drive out of Beijing, you only need Jin Madi's husband Jin Da to take the lead, plus Fang Qingge and another manservant, as well as a few maids from her, so as not to be guessed and provoke. She even thought about what luggage she wanted to bring when she left Beijing, and handed in a list to come out, and everything she needed was organized and meticulous.

Nala was very relieved that her daughter was finally sensible and had made great progress in housework. Although she felt that there were some things on the list that were not necessary, because her daughter insisted, she also did so, and added another mother-in-law and car. Two days later, he sent his daughter out of Beijing.

It's just that the next day, Jin Da came back with the mother-in-law and Qiaoyun Yunyuehe, crying and pleading guilty to the Nala clan, saying that he had lost the girl, and Fang Qingge, Yahuan Xiaojuan and another manservant were also gone. Nala immediately fainted, finally woke up, learned that his daughter had been grinding all the way, and when she arrived in Wanping for the night, she suddenly disappeared, leaving a note, saying that she was depressed and wanted to go out for a walk, and she would come back soon, and took away two bags of clothes and a lot of silver taels. Nara was furious, and fainted again.

When he got the news, he immediately took his daughter and daughter-in-law to the main house of the bamboo courtyard, and when he heard that Li ordered the housekeeper to take someone to find the girl, he hurriedly said: "Hugh wants to make a big show!" This is not a good thing, if you want to find it, you should look for it quietly, if you let people know, the second girl will not be able to see anyone again even if she comes back! ”

It was the first time that the Li family had encountered this kind of thing, so he was a little panicked, and as soon as he heard the words, he immediately came to his senses: "Auntie is right, it is the nephew and daughter-in-law who are confused." Manager Wu, please explain, let the people below inquire quietly. Wu Xinda was busy. Shi added: "We must also restrain our subordinates in the house not to talk about it at will, and it will be bad if it spreads outside." Therefore, the people sent to find it must be reliable and tight-mouthed. If someone asks, just say that the second girl went to Baoding Village, don't mention anything else. "The Lee clan and the Hitara clan are busy.

Seeing that the Li family's affairs were arranged properly, he stopped interfering, but only comforted the Nala family for half a day before returning to Huaiyuan.

Shuning only felt panicked in her heart, she just grabbed Qiaoyun and asked them non-stop, but a few girls only knew how to cry, although Yuehe was better, but she couldn't tell what was going on, she only knew that Wanning ran away with someone by herself. Where the hell did she go? It's not as peaceful as the 21st century, even if she brings a few servants, there are few people in the end, but she has so much money on her, and she is not familiar with life outside, what if something happens?

She was still worried here, but after thinking about it for a while, the Xiang family made a decision: "Immediately ask someone to send a message to Prince Jian's mansion, let's follow their wishes, the day after tomorrow will be eight days later, don't wait any longer!" ”
