21. Enter the house
The news of this made everyone stunned on the spot, and it took a while for Nala to ask, "Father-in-law is not mistaken, right?" How is this possible? Did the emperor really say that? ”
The eunuch smiled and said, "Naturally, the emperor said it himself, this is the grace that the young lady begged for, but ......" He looked up at everyone and showed a meaningful smile: "In such a family in the house, the young lady was pointed out to the prince as a side room, although it is the emperor's grace, but I am afraid that the face is not very good-looking, so the emperor will not make a clear decree for the time being, and I will talk about it in a few days." Miss is still injured now, you have to take good care of it, and when Miss is well, someone will be sent from the Sibeile Mansion to pick it up. When he had finished speaking, he took the benefits that had been stuffed by others, and took them away.
Before everyone in the Earl's Court woke up, they heard Wan Ning's call, and Nala hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to send his daughter back to the room, and he took his two daughters-in-law to follow. Shen thought about it, asked Yahuan to send the children back to the house, and followed. The men in the family looked at each other, Jin Bao discussed with his son and nephew for a while, the former went to his daughter's room to ask what was going on, Qing Ning and Duan Ning went to inquire about people they knew, and Shun Ning hurriedly went to contact the fourth uncle Rong Bao.
Shi Tieqing sat in the hall with a blue face, and neither Shuning nor Zhenzhen dared to move. Shu Ning still feels a little like in a dream, how could Wan Ning be pointed out to the fourth elder brother? What does this emperor think? Didn't you say that the fifth elder brother was originally at odds with the fourth elder brother because of Wanning? Moreover, how did Wan Ning get into the paddock? How to save the driver? This...... This is like the golden finger opened by the great god of crossing, cutting through all obstacles for the heroine of the crossing, and making all the impossible possible.
Zhenzhen asked softly, "Mother-in-law, shall we either?" Shi said coldly: "Of course!" I'm going to find out how she got to this door! Then he stood up abruptly and walked to the courtyard with his daughter and daughter-in-law.
When I came to Wan Ning's room, the room was already full of people. Wan Ning was carefully placed on the bed, and Nala asked the ins and outs of the matter first.
Wan Ning said lightly: "I will never listen to your wishes and marry a playboy who is greedy for beauty!" So as soon as I was sure that I couldn't change E-Niang's wishes, I planned to leave. Xiaojuan, who was promoted earlier. Listen to me very much, Fang Qingge helped me buy a servant again, and when it was time for Wanping to spend the night, I deliberately only let Xiaojuan accompany me for the night, and then left secretly. Brother Fang Qing also helped me clear the traces, and then we went north to Chengde in the carriage we bought separately. ”
Nara turned red when he heard this, and he held back his anger and asked her what happened next.
After Wanning went north to Chengde. tried every means to sneak into the paddock, but was persuaded by Fang Qingge, because it was too dangerous to go in and walk on the mountain road, and if you sneak in. It is easy to be killed as an assassin. Wan Ning thought about it again, so she wrote a letter, and used the accessories as a token, and asked Fang Qingge to take it to the gate of the palace, claiming to be a subordinate from the Wubeile Mansion to deliver the letter, wanting to contact the fifth elder brother and then take the opportunity to act. Because she has been with Fifth Elder Brother for many years, and she has always thought that she will become the hostess of his mansion, she knows a lot about these things, so she really let Fang Qingge get involved.
While waiting for Fang Qingge. She went to the restaurant for dinner, and met two Mongol princes, who had a good conversation, and both of them admired her very much, and when they knew her identity, they agreed to take her into the paddock. So she left Xiaojuan and the manservant and went in alone.
But the two princes asked her to change into a Mongolian robe. Dressed as an ordinary Mongolian maid, she could not move freely in it, and although she was quite courteous, one of the princes' daughters regarded her as an eye-gaze. One day, while her father and uncle were away, the Mongolian Gege ordered her to brush the horse. Intended to be humiliated. She thought that she might be able to find the fifth elder brother in Ma and get in touch with him, so she obediently went.
Wan Ning said: "I found someone in the stable who wanted to do something to the emperor's horse, so I kept my heart and reported it on the spot at the first opportunity, so that the emperor avoided the disaster." So he made it to live in the camp. When she said this, her eyes flickered, but she was actually hiding the truth.
In fact, at that time, she only met two Mongolian aristocratic teenagers, who wanted to do something on one of the horses because they had suffered the losses of several little princes, but she couldn't recognize which one was the target. Wan Ning somehow came up with a way to pretend that they were not present and misled them into thinking that a few royal horses kept in special stables were the prince's mounts. Later, she coaxed the two Mongol princes who took her in, only saying that they wanted to see the world, and asked them to promise to take her to participate in the hunt the next day, and then she came out in front of everyone. The Emperor was skeptical, but his men did find something strange about the horse and allowed her to stay in his camp.
In fact, she did it right. In order to save his son, the father of the two Mongolian teenagers agreed to a certain request of the emperor. The Mongol princes who took her in had to make an alliance with the emperor because everyone thought that their subordinates had reported the matter. The emperor achieved the goal of this trip earlier than expected, and the treatment of Wan Ning was not so severe, but she was not allowed to walk around.
But when the hunting harvest was abundant, everyone was happy, and the guards would inevitably be a little lax, so Wan Ning walked out of the camp, and somehow blocked an arrow shot in the direction of the fourth elder brother, and her back was injured, and she fell into the arms of the fourth elder brother. Despite the archer's attempts to justify that his target was only a deer in the nearby bushes, he was reprimanded. And after Wanning woke up from her injury, the emperor asked her what reward she wanted, but she didn't answer, but when several Mongolian princes were present, she proposed to marry the fourth elder brother, and it didn't matter if she was a side blessing. Because she spoke bluntly, she spoke for her because of the temper of several Mongolians, and Kangxi agreed to point her to the fourth elder brother as a side room.
Although she is seriously injured now, as long as she takes care of herself, she will probably be better in another ten days. At that time, it happened that the fourth elder brother got married
She didn't have a problem getting into the house.
When Jin Bao and Nala heard this, their faces turned blue and white, white and blue, the former walked out without saying a word, and the latter just silently told his daughter-in-law to ask for a doctor, because the palace did not send a doctor.
Shi's face became even more ugly, and he ignored Wan Ning, and said directly to Nala's clan: "When this matter spreads, what we did before has become a joke!" This is your big real estate business, let's not ask again, sister-in-law can do it herself. Then he called his daughter and daughter-in-law to go with her.
Shu Ning felt in her heart that Wan Ning used this method to ask for marriage, and the fourth elder brother didn't know what to think, it was really not a smart approach, but she was already powerless and didn't plan to ask again. It's just that when she was leaving, she overheard the housekeeper call back to Li, saying that she had found Xiaojuan who was stranded in Chengde. But Fang Qingge was nowhere to be found.
She was a little worried that these people would give their lives again, and after returning to Huaiyuan, she tried to ask her mother, but she was furious and said, "This is a family affair of the big house, what do we have to do?!" Have you forgotten what you were taught a few days ago? Hugh will mention it again! Shuning was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's not that my daughter doesn't know what to do, but I just listened to the words of the second sister." It was clear that she was in charge, and these people were just following orders. Thinking that Xiaojuan is only fourteen years old, that servant, and there are wives and children at home......" The clan still said coldly: "They are not fools. If you dare to do such a thing, you must be able to bear the consequences. You are not allowed to ask any more questions. Then he called Zhenzhen and said, "Go get a pen and paper, I want to write to the fourth elder brother, and if I don't make it clear, I won't have the face to see him." Jinjin was a little surprised.
It was the first time that Shuning encountered her mother's cold face, and she was very sad, and she was busy with her. After begging for a long time, her tears flowed out, and Shi Cai relented: "Actually, I am also angry." But this kind of kindness is still less good. In our own home. If you can't stop these things, what will you do when you get to Nafu in the future? The sooner you get used to it, the less uncomfortable it will be in the future. Shuning nodded silently with tears in her eyes.
The next day, the clan asked Duan Ning to ask for leave and accompany him to see the fourth elder brother. Zhenzhen returned to the Plum Courtyard, and Shuning did needlework in her room. The holy drive has returned. I wonder what happened to Tongying? After Xiaoding, it was more difficult for her to go out than before, and she didn't know when she would be able to see him again, or would she see him in Fangshan?
At this time, Frangipani reported. Qiaoyun came over and asked for something. Shuning saw that Qiaoyun was wearing the clothes she used to wear, but she had lost a lot of weight, her hands and face were still scarred, and she only wore flowers on her head, but she had no jewelry at all. My heart was sour, and I hurriedly asked what was going on.
Qiaoyun said that the fifth elder brother had broken in again, and he seemed to be very angry when he looked at it, but the Nala clan returned to his parents' house in the morning, and the Li clan was reluctant to interfere with the dragon and tiger fight 5200 under the pretext that the Xitara clan said that the child was not good, and no one was willing to stop it. She had no choice but to come over and ask Shuning.
After Shuning asked what Wan Ning meant, she thought about it and quickly understood the reason. She probably felt that she had passed the small decision, and she was already the cousin-in-law of the fifth elder brother in name, and with her own presence, the other party might have some concerns. Shu Ning was a little annoyed in her heart, why didn't she see her so shrewd in other things? He refused to go over. But Qiaoyun cried and pleaded, and finally knelt down. Shuning was startled and a little unbearable, so she had to agree.
When they arrived at the gate of Wanning's courtyard, they happened to hear the fifth elder brother questioning Wanning: "...... He said that you went to Chengde to ask for the help of the Mongolian princes, so that the emperor could point you to me. As a result, the emperor Ama asked you, but you said that you wanted to marry the fourth brother. Did you lie to me, or did your entourage lie to me?! ”
As soon as Shuning entered the door, he saw that the courtyard was full of wolves, and the flower pots were shattered, and the fifth elder brother spoke loudly to the door of the main house with a hideous face, and Yuehe, whose face was slightly haggard, was beside him and persuaded him bitterly.
Wan Ning's voice came from inside the house, and said, "This matter is a misunderstanding by Brother Fang Qing, it is my fault, and it has nothing to do with him." The person I have always loved is the fourth elder brother...... It's me who is sorry for you, you just forget about me. ”
The fifth elder brother closed his eyes and kicked the small tree in the courtyard with a fierce kick, so frightened that the other people's faces turned white. Shuning tightened her handkerchief, and Qiaoyun bit her lip and burst into tears.
The fifth elder brother hated: "I have done so much for you, and the result is ...... How can you say such a thing? Who are you and me?! If it weren't for the fact that when you proposed marriage, the fourth brother immediately knelt down and begged Huang Ama to point you out to me, I would have thought he and you would ...... It's ridiculous that I thought everyone was blocking my marriage, but it turned out that I was the one who was really blind! Do you know how much I sacrificed for you?! ”
Wan Ning sighed faintly and said, "Why are you so troubled?" Feelings can't be forced, I don't love you. You'd better go back, as if you've never known me before. ”
The fifth elder brother raised his head to the sky, and after a long while, he said softly: "Then...... As you wish. He tidied up his clothes expressionlessly, turned around and saw Shu Ning and the others looking at him nervously, so he saluted lightly and said, "It's rude." It seems to have returned to the gentle young man that Shuning met at the gate of the small courtyard, but the gloom between his eyebrows was thicker.
Shuning stood upright, returned the salute, and watched him stride out. Yuehe bit her lip and chased after her. Qiaoyun couldn't help crying, and while crying, she found a broom and shovel to clean the yard, but the maid who was originally in charge of these rough jobs didn't appear.
A low cough came from inside the house, and Qiao Yun hurriedly dropped what she was holding and went into the house to take a look. Shuning thought about it and entered the house anyway. Wan Ning saw her come in and smiled slightly: "Third sister." There you are? "Her face is not very good, but her beauty is still there.
Shu Ning felt that this eldest sister was really a little scary at this time, listening to what the fifth elder brother said, when she went to Chengde, she had the idea of deceiving and using the fifth elder brother, and even Brother Fang Qing was deceived, which was really chilling. So she was cold
"The second sister is really courageous, and she is about to come to a prince. Afraid that it will affect the family? ”
Wan Ning smiled faintly: "It's okay, he's not that kind of person." Shuning looked at her for a while and said, "Second Sister Fang said." Feelings can't be forced, but I see that your approach is forcing the fourth elder brother. Do you really think that you will be happy in the marriage you seek in this way? ”
Wan Ning said: "How is this the same? I believe that one day, I will be able to get his earth's heart. Shuning sneered: "Then I'll wait for that day to come." "Then lift your feet and go. Wan Ning frowned, and didn't take this matter to heart, but just said to Qiaoyun: "Isn't Yanyun okay yet?" When will I be back? No one has done any work in this house. ”
When Shuning returned to the hospital, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, how could this eldest sister who had crossed the same country decide that the fourth elder brother would not let go? It doesn't even matter if you are a concubine? She thought back to the boy who was smiling in the moonlight and talking to her mother. I began to feel sorry for him in my heart.
When he returned home, his face was much better. She had already made it clear to the fourth elder brother that she did not approve of Wan Ning's self-assertion, so if Wan Ning made any trouble in his mansion in the future, he didn't have to worry about her face. The fourth elder brother just smiled and told her not to worry, so he didn't want to talk about it more, and instead talked about Duanning's promotion. is still clamoring for a treat.
Gradually, some gossip began to circulate in the capital, but because of the legend that the emperor pointed out Wanning to the Four Princes' Mansion as a side room, no one dared to talk nonsense. Fortunately, Prince Jian had returned to Fengtian at this time, but Tongying's brother and sister-in-law were still there, and they knew a little bit.
Not two days. Feiyangu, the father of the Four Blessings, was rewarded by the emperor for his devotion to his duties, and succeeded the Minister of the Guard, who had been derelict in the enclosure one after another, and was promoted to the rank of second-class viscount. At the same time, Jin Bao was punished for some small mistakes he had made in the past and was reduced to the third grade. The original position was retained, but the title was lowered by five ranks in one go, and he became a first-class baron. The plaque of Weiyuanbo's Mansion could have been hung for at least another fifty or sixty years, but it had to be taken down early.
Jin Bao told his family that he didn't have to put on any more plaques, so he locked himself in the study and sat down. Nara received no good news from his mother's family, and spent his days in tears. The whole of Tatara was shrouded in depression. Only Wanning, who is recovering day by day, is happily preparing for her upcoming wedding.
In late September, the fifth elder brother got married. The day before the wedding, although Xingbao listened to his daughter's words, considering that he was a small official and a low lord, he was not too public, so he only gave one hundred and twenty-eight dowries, but everything was a fine product, and the golden dazzle dazzled everyone's eyes. On the day of the ceremony, from the palace gate to the gate of his house, the soldiers of the infantry army swept the road, and the Luan Yiwei prepared a full set of honor guards, red satin tents, and it was not pompous.
In the evening, the guard of honor passed by the gate of Tatara Mansion, and Nala listened to the commotion outside, his heart was like a knife, and he barely collected his mood and went to Huaiyuan to ask to see him.
This day was also the day when Wan Ning entered the Four Baylor Mansion, but the fourth elder brother obviously had no plans to put on a feast. He Tara Mansion family members, more to participate in Yuan Ning's marriage ceremony, Wan Ning in the room except for the Nala family, there is no accompanying guest, the people of Baylor Mansion came to see, it was too deserted. Nala thought that Shuning was a person who was set to get married and would not go out at will, so he came over and asked Shuning to sit down and support the field.
Shi Ben didn't want to, but just urged Zhenzhen to get ready to go out. Nala grabbed her, saying that many of the dowries originally prepared for her daughter could not be used, and if Shuning could use them, she could save a lot of expenses. She was a little moved, and after her repeated persuasion, she only asked for jewelry, clothing, antique calligraphy and paintings, and as for clothes and furniture, she did not want anything. Nala nodded in agreement. As soon as he gave such instructions to his daughter, he left with his daughter-in-law.
Shuning changed into bright clothes, followed Nala to Wanning's small courtyard, and the places he passed along the way were no different from usual, until he entered the bamboo courtyard, he picked up the red lantern, and when he arrived at the small courtyard, he had more red silk and red double happiness.
Wan Ning was wearing a silver and red flag suit, dressed like a fairy concubine, and was putting on makeup. Shuning looked at the pair of golden phoenix hairpins on her head, frowned, and thought of her mother's advice, so she shut her mouth and just sat on the side and watched coldly.
Nala counted the quilts and clothes and jewelry to be sent to the house at the same time, and asked someone to take out a big red quilt and replace it with a peach-colored one. Wan Ning thought it was cheesy, but Nala ignored it. Later, Wan Ning asked what to do with the other dowries, and Nala just said lightly: "Many of them can't be used, and I will ask someone to send them in two days." ”
Shuning saw that there were fewer people in Wanning's room, and even Yuehe didn't see her, so she quietly asked Qiaoyun, only to learn that Yuehe's family learned that she had been beaten, so they ransomed her. Wanning got married, only Qiaoyun Yanyun followed, because Yumin only had four maid rings to marry, so she couldn't cross her.
After a while, the grandmother of the Sibeile Mansion arrived, coldly took off the double hairpin on Wan Ning's head, and asked her to change into a dark pink flag suit, because the silver red was too close to the big red in the night. Wan Ning was very angry, but she was persuaded by the Nala clan to let her not make any extraneous branches, and missed the auspicious time, so she obediently went to change.
Then, she sat in a small sedan chair and was carried away through the back door, along the way, only Qingning gave a ride, but there was no gong and drum sound. Nara watched her daughter go out and couldn't help crying bitterly.
