Chapter 283: Grace and Grace (3)
Regarding this matter, Ming Danshu felt that Nie Xingji should know, probably because he turned a blind eye to his past feelings and gave her some rewards in terms of wealth. Especially some time ago, Nie Xingji suddenly became considerate of her, not only cared about her everywhere, but also got a share of what Weiyang Palace had. She thought that Nie Xingji was currying favor with her, suggesting that she should stop provoking Wei Nong, so she was also at ease, and she was even more emboldened to make a lot of money, so as to appease the sadness in her heart.
Later, Nie Xingchen proposed to let her hand over the phoenix seal, and she understood why he was so good to her a few days ago, and it turned out that he was compensating her in advance. Although he was so excessive, she still agreed, and it took a month to smooth out the account books of the year before and last year, and she was confident that Wei Nong could not find any flaws.
Yet, this hateful woman should look at the books of the last five years! Ming Danshu found that if she didn't make a sound, she would be pinched as a soft persimmon, so she slowly got up and sneered at Wei Min: "What? The county lord can't trust me? ”
"Where are you?" Wei Thick pretended to be confused.
Ming Danshu simply tore her face and asked sharply: "When His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was in the palace, he always trusted the palace, and he never mentioned that he wanted to check the account books thoroughly. Why did the county lord just take over the phoenix seal, so he couldn't wait to take the palace to stab? ”
"Concubine Niangniang is afraid that she has misunderstood," Wei Nong pretended to be innocent, "I am not here to trouble you, but to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Sixth Bureau and learn how to manage your accounts." I'm a person with dull qualifications, and I'm afraid I can't see anything from just looking at one year's account books, so I casually said five years. ”
Hearing this, Ming Danshu was so angry that she trembled, and couldn't help but sarcastically mock her: "Okay, good, the county lord is really ice and snow smart, I can think of such methods, this palace really admires!" ”
Wei Nong smiled calmly at her, and then looked at Xiaoxin: "There must be a lot of account books, it's better to do this, Xiaoxin will come out in order first, and start checking from the account of your Shanggong Bureau." ”
None of the female officials dared to talk about this matter anymore, so they hurriedly said yes respectfully, and waved their hands lazily: "Then let's disperse, it's hard work today." ”
After that, she stood up, turned around and walked into the inner hall, very disgraceful to Ming Danshu. Seeing this, everyone in the outer courtyard also knew that they couldn't stay for a long time, so they saluted and said goodbye to Ming Danshu one after another, and left Weiyang Palace in a swarm.
In the end, only Ming Danshu stood alone in the outer courtyard, so angry that her face was pale. In August and autumn, the tiger is especially prosperous, and the midday sun shines on her face, dripping her with a thin layer of sweat. She wiped the sweat from her forehead in embarrassment, and looked at the stone steps of the inner hall with wide eyes, knowing that it would be humiliating to enter, but she had to go.
Perhaps, Wei Nong was waiting for her to go in and beg for mercy.
Ming Danshu straightened her dress and walked into the inner hall with her head held high, but was told that Wei Nong had gone to change her clothes. Hearing this, she held back her anger on her face, but a pair of beautiful eyes still leaked to the bottom, staring directly at the main seat of the inner hall, as if Weinong was sitting on it, and was being cut by her gaze.
This time, the palace maids didn't dare to snub her anymore, so they hurriedly invited her to sit down, and served several kinds of chilled melons and fruits and Junshan silver needles for her to taste. Wei Nong didn't delay for too long, and after a while, he went back from the inner room, but he had changed into a plain blue dress, and the makeup on his face was also completely removed.
Even Ming Danshu has to admit that this kind of slight thickness is more pleasing to the eye and more likable. What's even more odious is that Weinong has not changed at all over the years, it is still the same as seven or eight years ago, the same heroic spirit, the same momentum, and the edges and corners have not been smoothed out by the years.
How unfair and generous the heavens are, they let this woman monopolize everything! Ming Danshu was even more angry in her heart.
"I thought that Concubine Shu had nothing to say to me, and she would definitely not stay for long, so I went into the house to change my clothes, but I didn't expect to hear that you hadn't left until halfway through." Wei Nong sat down and apologized perfunctorily: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." ”
Ming Danshu didn't want to be with her anymore, and couldn't help sneering: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are good at this face-to-face effort!" It really taught me to sigh to myself. ”
Wei Nong also smiled: "I have this little trick, I guess the lady can't see it yet." ”
If you get cheap, you can sell well! Ming Danshu was about to scold, but reason finally prevailed, prompting her to calm down: "It is said that 'the new official takes office with three fires', and I have finally seen it now." Lord Yanlan, wouldn't you do this too much? ”
Wei Nong's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he only said: "When I was in Ningguo in the past, I knew a girl named Yunxiao, she hated me very much, and every time she saw me, she spoke coldly. But I don't really hate her, because she never really hurts anyone, except for her mouth. Later, she tried to kill me, but failed, and I was not angry with her. ”
"What do you want to say?" Ming Danshu was confused when she heard it: "Are you trying to tell me that you are a saint who repays grievances with virtue?" Is it the reincarnation of Guanyin, who is merciful and kind-hearted? And I'm the heinous bad woman? ”
"No," Wei Min rubbed his forehead with an annoyed expression, "I was trying to tell you that everything you did was beyond my patience. If you hate me, you can directly raise your sword and fight me in a duel, or you can poison me, and I will look up to you and admire you; But you only dare to slander me with rumors in the palace, and even delay the handover of the phoenix seal, such means are too inferior, and it really loses your identity. ”
"Huh!" Ming Danshu was angry and fought back: "It's really funny, you are open-minded, I am a villain." ”
"Aren't you?" Wei Min narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of fierceness: "I never took the trick you thought was clever." I didn't want to pay attention to you before, because you were not qualified enough; But instead of relenting, you're getting worse! Since you want to intrigue so much, I'll simply accompany you to fight once, and it's good to do it once and for all! ”
"What right do you have to say such things!" Ming Danshu was finally slightly enraged, and no longer shouted regardless of her demeanor: "You robbed me of everything, what are you pretending to be high here?" Is Yanwang Palace yours? For so many years, you have come and gone, how many people have followed you to suffer? The night is slightly thick, I am merciful enough that I didn't kill you! I'm merciful enough! ”
"You didn't kill me, it's not that you don't want to kill, it's that you don't dare to kill." Wei thick sneered: "You know what the consequences of killing me are, so you don't dare, or rather, you can't kill at all." ”
"That's you going too far! You've taken everything from me! Ming Danshu screamed and roared, mixed with grief and indignation.
In the face of her heart-rending accusations, Wei Nong was still not provoked, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Actually, I have never robbed you of anything. Do you know what Nie Xingji was like when I first met him? ”
Of course, Ming Danshu wanted to hear it, but she refused to admit it, pursed her lips and trembled her teeth in anger.
Wei Nong spoke out and retreated from everyone, slowed down his voice and began to recall: "Twelve years ago, he had just been awarded the title of Marquis Jinghou out of the palace, and was intercepted and killed on the way to Fangzhou, so he hid in our dart team and met me. I remember very well that he was frustrated because the girl he liked had abandoned him and wanted to marry his half-brother. ”
As soon as he said this, Ming Danshu's eyes flashed slightly.
Wei Nong didn't see it, and said to himself: "He was very injured, and he was injured by interception, and I took care of him for a while." Later, when he recovered from his injury, he was going to work, and before leaving, he asked me what he wanted in return. ”
Wei Nong narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were distant and abrupt: "I saw that he often played with a luan pendant in his hand when he was recuperating from his injuries in bed, so I guessed that it was very important to him, so I asked him for it." ”
According to the tradition of the Yan royal family, it has always been the prince who is hired by Luan Pei when he marries the concubine. Once Ming Danshu accepted Nie Xingji's Luan Pei, but she returned it later. And Wei Nong knew that this Luan Pei was important, but he still dared to ask for it, which can be regarded as a euphemism to show his heart to Nie Xingji!
Thinking of this, Ming Danshu actually felt that her own things had been snatched away by others, and she couldn't help but be annoyed: "You are really shameless." ”
Wei Nong smiled: "Yes, I know he may not give it to me, but I just want to." He was also taken aback at the time, so he explained that the Luan Pei was an ancestral heirloom and could only be given to his wife...... But I snatched it without saying a word. ”
"You!" Ming Danshu angrily reprimanded: "Tian is shameless. ”
Wei Nong admitted frankly: "I was young at the time, and the men I knew were limited to my uncle's dart game, and I had never seen such a personable person as him. I like him, is there anything wrong? ”
Yes, a man like Nie Xingji, even she was tempted, not to mention a country girl who had never seen the world in the night? Ming Danshu suddenly had nothing to say, and then said an irrelevant sentence: "So...... Did you like him first? ”
Wei Nong didn't listen to it at all, the whole person was already immersed in the memories, and continued: "Nie Xingji saw that I snatched Luan Pei, and also understood my thoughts, so he told me his true identity and the reason why he was hunted down. ”
"He said something to me at the time, he said, 'Wei Nong, my marriage is not up to me at all, you follow me, at most I am a lowly concubine, I will marry a wife in the future, and there will be other concubines.' ”
"Then I asked him, 'If your sweetheart chooses you instead of your brother, will you still take a concubine?' He was silent for a moment and replied, 'Probably not.' After Wei Nong finished the last four words, he looked at Ming Danshu again.
Ming Danshu choked up for a moment, as if in disbelief: "What did you say?" You repeat? What did he say to you then? ”
"He said he wouldn't have another woman." Wei Nong said calmly: "It is precisely because of this sentence that I made up my mind to go with him, even if I am willing to be a concubine." He was so moved that he swore that he would never fail me, because I was the first woman willing to believe in him. ”
"The first woman to believe in him......" Ming Danshu's expression was a little dazed.
