When Shuning heard the sound, she saw a girl about the same age as herself, wearing a purple Mongolian robe, her whole body was luxuriously decorated, and the hat on her head hung with many pearls and gemstones, she looked very beautiful, but her face was a little arrogant, which slightly destroyed her beauty.

Who is this? Shuning thought about it, could it be the Mongolian Gege that Lu Chan said yesterday?

Before she could ask, the girl spoke first: "Who are you?" How come I don't know you? Glancing at the belt in her hand, her eyebrows were raised: "Could it be that you are also the one who came to entangle Brother Duanning?" What a shame! He won't use what you make! ”

Be all abroad! Who does this little girl think she is? Shu Ning was annoyed in her heart, her face sank, and she turned her head to Duan Ning and said, "Brother, which young lady is this, why is she so rude?" ”

"Presumptuous!" A boy suddenly appeared behind the little Mongolian girl, who seemed to be about the same age as Duan Ning, with a thin face and small eyes, "This is the Gege of the Horqin Borzigit clan, don't be rude!" Duan Ning got angry when he heard this: "Yucheng! This is my sister, how can you talk like that?! Na Yucheng shrank and said, "I...... I'm just telling the truth, how can she be rude......"

The girl softened her face, raised her chin slightly at Shu Ning and said, "It turns out that you are Brother Duanning's sister, that's it, I don't care if you collide with me, let go of it, I want to talk to your brother." ”

Are you kidding?! Shuning raised her eyebrows and said, "This Gege suddenly broke into the inner courtyard of my house, and shouted at my brother and sister, I don't know why I came?" And, what do you mean by coming to our house in red and green space like this? ”

The girl looked at her clothes. "What's wrong with me wearing this?" I'm going to talk to your brother, what are you talking about? Ignoring Shuning, he turned his head and said to Duan Ning, "Why are you running so hard?" Didn't you hear me call you? It's been so long since you've been back in the capital. Don't come looking for me, I'm about to go back to Horqin. So I came to see you today, dressed up beautifully, and you didn't have anything to say to me? He also smiled and showed off the gorgeous clothes on his body.

Shuning secretly slandered in her heart: I have met Xiaobai in the past two days, what is going on with this Mongolian Gege?

Duan Ning made a straight face and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Nadan Zhugege, you better go back early." It's unseemly for you to chase after me like this. What's more, my family is still in mourning, and it is really inappropriate for Gege to come to my house dressed like this. ”

When Na Danzhu heard this, she frowned: "What kind of rules do you have?" Is there anything wrong with me dressing up to meet someone I like? Yucheng smiled and echoed: "How can it be wrong? Gege looks good in this way, and everyone will like it. ”

Duan Ning's face darkened: "Yucheng, how can I have a classmate like you?" Gege is young and doesn't know etiquette, don't you know either? You're just going to make me look down on you. Then he turned to Nadanzhu and said, "Gege." You love to dress up so gorgeously, just dress up like this, but our family is in mourning. I'm afraid it's a little out of place with your outfit, so you might as well go back early. I'm going to study at home. It is inconvenient to go out to visit friends. ”

Nadanzhu saw that Duan Ning was angry. Then he flattened his mouth and said, "Well, you don't like me to dress like this." Then next time I'll wear something else. It's just that you can go out to school, why don't you come to me? Even the fan bag that Yucheng helped me forward, you also returned. You're so sad for me. ”

Duan Ning was even more sad when he heard it: "Gege, I said it, you are still young, you don't know what it is to like, in fact, I and Gege are not similar in temperament, and I don't dare to climb high, Gege still don't do this kind of private teaching and receiving things anymore, it will damage your reputation." ”

Na Danzhu didn't listen: "If you like it, you like it, I don't care about that." I'm the second most beautiful beauty on the Horqin grassland, except for my sister, no one can compare to me, I like you, why are you still pushing three and four places? She pushed Duan Ning and asked, "You say, what's wrong with me?" So that you want to run away when you see me? ”

"You...... You're still young......"

"What is the reason for this? I'll be growing up soon, my sister is only two years older than me, and she'll be married in three days! ”

"You...... The identity is too noble, I don't dare to climb high! ”

"What does it matter? As long as I like it, my father will definitely agree, when the time comes, you go back with us, just make an official as you like, you can be an official as you like, who would say that your status is not high? ”

Duan Ning was just a headache before, but now he is a little angry, he is also a meritorious child, although he is not as noble as her, but he is not enough to rely on nepotism to get to the top, and he has a cold face at the moment: "Gege doesn't need to say more, Duanning has no talent and no virtue, and he is not worthy of Gege, please go back." Then he made a gesture and turned his head away.

Seeing him like this, Na Danzhu also had a cold face: "Are you showing me a face?" Last year, you ran south without saying hello, and you didn't look for me when you came back, if I hadn't come to the door by myself, would you have pretended not to know me? Don't even come to see me when I leave? Who do you think I am? Don't be embarrassed!! ”

Seeing that the quarrel was about to start, Shuning began to get nervous. Although I don't want to see this county lord and want to scold him a lot, the other party has a noble status after all, so it's not good to offend too much.

However, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because the Tong clan, who had gone to the bamboo courtyard, had finally returned.

Tong Shi glanced at everyone, and just that glance greatly diluted the atmosphere of the scene: "What's wrong?" Duanning Shuning, since there are guests coming, why don't you invite people to sit in the house? It's rude. ”

Duan Ning and his sister glanced at each other, obediently admitted their mistakes, and then politely invited Na Danzhu and Yucheng into the main house to serve tea. Nadanzhu's mind didn't turn: "What are you guys doing here?" Suddenly put on this look. ”

Tong smiled faintly: "The child is not sensible, it's too rude, don't be surprised, it's all guests, please come in and have a cup of tea?" Then he gestured to Yucheng's jaw. Yucheng gently persuaded Na Danzhu, and she followed in suspiciously.

Tong's next every move was very dignified and noble, but her words and deeds were very amiable, and Na Danzhu couldn't show any arrogance in front of her. Duanning Shuning stood respectfully on the side and accompanied, and humbly accepted her mother's lesson. Then I listened politely to the conversation between my mother and Na Dan Joo.

Tong first pulled a lot of weather, tea, or something, and then knocked on the side of Nadan Zhudi's family background, and then flattered her gorgeous clothes. As soon as the conversation changed, he said that the guests in the house now wear plain clothes. Then he said that her sister was about to get married, and her mother's family was in and out of the mourning family, but she was afraid that it would not be very auspicious. Na Danzhu was so dizzy that he only felt that Tong was the kindest person in the world, and left happily.

Although Duan Ning was extremely reluctant. still followed her under the sharp gaze of the Tong family and sent Na Danzhu and Yucheng out of the mansion. After returning to the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then made a big gift to his mother: "Thank you Eniang, if Eniang doesn't come back, my son doesn't know what to do Wei Yixiao's spread about Ranwen. ”

Tong and Shuning glanced at each other, and the latter was snickering. Duan Ning was puzzled, and Tong Shi smiled: "It was your sister who quietly asked someone to invite me back, otherwise you would make trouble in this courtyard, and I would be so far away." How is it possible to know? Duan Ning suddenly realized and thanked his sister again.

Shuning smiled: "In the past, my brother always looked like an old god, and I didn't expect to be at a loss. It's funny to watch. Duan Ning said hatefully: "My brother is dying of headaches, and you only care about laughing at me." ”

He sighed. smiled bitterly: "Actually, when I first met." That's not how Nadanjo looks. Last spring, her father sent her sister to Beijing. In preparation for this year's draft, she also came with her to meet the world. The first time I saw her was at a banquet in the land of a certain county. She sat alone, out of place with everyone else, strangely pitiful. He glanced at Shuning, and then said, "I saw that she was the same age as my sister, so I relented for a while and sat with her for a while. She was a little arrogant at first, but then she became very well-behaved. I treated her as a little sister and often coaxed her, but after meeting a few times, she suddenly said that she liked me and wanted to marry me in the future. I just thought that the little girl was talking nonsense, but she pestered me, and if I said one more word to another woman, she would get angry, and even when I went out with my friends, she would follow. I couldn't stand it, and as soon as I heard that Ama and her sister were injured in Guangzhou, I immediately left the capital. ”

Shuning listened with great sympathy, both civil and military are handsome, and they are gentle and considerate to girls, how can there be girls who don't like it? Although Nadanzhu is a little younger, it is not uncommon for women to have this kind of thinking in the era when women generally marry early.

She rolled her eyes and quipped: "It turns out that my brother came to Guangzhou to avoid this bad fate, and I thought it was really for me and Amma." Duan Ning scolded with a smile: "You little conscienceless, I want to avoid her, just go to Baoding Zhuangzi to live for two days, why go all the way to Guangzhou?" Naturally, it's for you and Amma! After that, he was going to pinch her nose, but Shuning smiled and dodged.

Tong stopped the children's quarrel and said, "I just heard her say that she is the niece of the current Prince of Horqin?" Duan Ning nodded: "Her father is a Taiji, and the current Prince of Horqin has no daughter, so he let his niece run for election." He woke up a little: "So, my sister is probably coming to the palace, but for some reason she was pointed out to Prince Kang's son." ”

Shu Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Prince Kang's son? Didn't the Su family's sister marry him? Tong said: "Exactly, your sister Su is doing side Fujin, and after Fujin heard that she will pass through the door in three days." Shu Ning was a little worried when she heard this: "Sister Su doesn't know what will happen, and there has been no news of her over the years." Tong said softly: "Don't worry, they are relatives anyway, and nothing will happen." ”

However, she was a little worried about the affairs of Duanning: "Although I persuaded this Mongolian Gege away today, I don't know what will happen in the future." I think she has a good temperament, and she is really not a good match, but if she refuses, I am afraid that it will hurt her family. Besides, her sister married into Prince Kang's mansion, which is the banner owner of our family, just for the sake of the old prince, she can't offend their family too much. ”

Shuning thought about it, but had a different opinion: "According to me, it is better to ask Prince Kang directly to help talk about it." Our family is still guarding filial piety, and Na Danzhu broke into the door in gorgeous clothes, even if the daughter on the grassland is informal, it is too much. Please take care of their daughter, right? ”

Duan Ning sneered: "Will they listen?" Nadanjoo is very favored at home. Shuning said: "No matter how favored she is, her family will also have a plan." Na Danzhu's sister will enter Beijing more than a year in advance to prepare for the draft, which shows that she attaches great importance to it. If it was really like what her brother said, she came to the harem, then after her sister was accused of marriage, Na Danzhu would be the only one left. How could their family marry their daughter to their brother? ”

Duan Ning listened thoughtfully. Tong Shi said: "I will discuss this matter with you Amma, and you will not mention it again for the time being." Duan'er has been staying at home for a few days and not going out. Our family is still keeping filial piety, even if someone wants to say goodbye to you, they must be full of filial piety. She paused and smiled: "If this Gege comes to the door again, you don't have to push back, you must speak tactfully, be polite and courteous, you know?" ”

Duan Ning and Shu Ning glanced at each other, smiling together. I'm the dividing line of the night

That night, the Tong family told Zhang Bao about the day's events, and Zhang Bao frowned: "It's really a bad fate!" Can the women of Horqin be provoked? Why is Duan'er so careless? Tong said softly: "My son just saw that she was young and had compassion for a while, who knew she would be so difficult?" Now please ask your husband to think of a way to save this trouble for his son. I have already thought about the choice of my daughter-in-law, but I don't want my son to marry such a rude girl. ”

Zhang Bao smiled: "Actually, Shuning is reasonable, Horqin's side, I'm afraid that he plans to send people into the palace again." If you want to come to our harem in the Qing Dynasty, it has always been the world of Horqin women. But since the emperor ascended the throne, except for the lady who died early, there has never been a harem lord surnamed Korzigit, presumably the people of Horqin are not happy in their hearts, right? Now that the position is vacant, they must also be itching, and they sent a county lord to Baba'er, only to be pointed out to others. ”

Tong said: "So, they will definitely not give Na Danzhu to our son?" Zhang Bao shook his head: "Who knows?" If the emperor really wants to seal another Horqin's mother, just make an order, why go through the draft? And the Queen Mother also left Beijing ahead of schedule. If Korqin comprehends the holy will, maybe he will choose another son-in-law for Gege in the family. Tong Shi thoughtfully: "If they are unwilling, they will try again in three years......"

Zhang Bao pondered for a moment and said: "I will go to the eldest brother early tomorrow morning and ask him to ask Prince Kang to talk about the item, just say that we are in the period of filial piety, it is inconvenient to talk about marriage, and then let the son go to Fangshan to avoid a few days, and wait for the wedding of the prince of Chuntai to pass, as soon as the person leaves, it will naturally be fine." ”

Tong Shi hurriedly asked: "What about after the full service?" Zhang Bao smiled: "When the time comes, let's just set a marriage for our son one step earlier, don't you already have a candidate?" Tong smiled.

The next day, Zhang Bao really invited Jin Bao to intercede, and Jin Bao had already heard about it and agreed. Duan Ning got his mother's signal early and went to Fangshan to "supervise" the renovation of the house, and by the way, "learn economic practice".

The elder brother is not there, Shuning has to be responsible for teaching the homework of the two younger brothers alone, and has to learn housekeeping from her mother, and she has to practice writing and female red, so she has become very busy, and she has not been free to go to Wanning's yard for several days, but I heard that Yumin has come twice again, and Wanning's embroidery has improved again.

After she finished the housework learning course, Tong said to her: "Your grandmother sent a few pieces of material, one of which I think is quite suitable for your eldest sister, you can send it to her." Shuning answered, took the fabric, and brought a newly made purse, and walked towards the bamboo courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the bamboo courtyard, he saw a young man with a long body standing outside Wanning's small courtyard, with his back to him, looking into the small courtyard. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked deep, which made Shuning stunned.
