Chapter 39: Talented and Beautiful
"Lord Xie's visit to the Hou Mansion is really making the Hou Mansion shine."
Ning Luo smiled decently, blessed Xie Yunyan, and continued: "But the prince is not in the mansion at this moment, please forgive Lord Xie." ”
"It was the official who came suddenly, and I asked Mrs. Shizi to forgive me." Xie Yunyan's hypocritical greetings, coupled with his difficult to find fault with his countenance, made Ning Luo's heart bloom.
"Lord Xie is serious, is the adult here to find Shu'er?"
"That's right, this official originally had something to tell Lord Ning, but when he came, he found that Lord Ning did not live in the east of the city for the time being, and then he heard that Miss Ning was in the Hou Mansion of Shu'an, so he came uninvited."
"I see, then I won't disturb the adults' business."
Ning Luo instructed his subordinates to look at the tea, and then withdrew.
After going out, he immediately ordered his subordinates to go to the gambling house to find Li Qing and return home......
"I heard about last night." Seeing Ning Shu's haggard face, Xie Yunyan guessed that she must have spent an unforgettable night last night.
"Miss Ning is too bold, what can't you wait until dawn to talk about?"
When Yuan Wu reported to him, his tongue was curled.
He also had a numb scalp.
Ning Shu said disapprerovingly: "At that time, I just guessed that if I went to look for it during the day, it would not be good if someone found out." ”
Xie Yunyan wanted to count a few more words, but was interrupted by Ning Shu raising his hand.
In order to avoid suspicion, the main hall door is open.
She had no choice but to reluctantly lean towards Xie Yunyan's side, and lowered her voice and said, "My lord, I think the purpose of the Hou Shizi of Shu'an is to confuse those little ones with the purpose of using the mandala flower. ”
Xie Yunyan felt the heat on his side face, his eyelashes trembled, and he nodded slightly.
Ning Shu frowned and analyzed seriously, not noticing the subtle changes on Xie Yunyan's face.
"If the mandala flower in the red candle in Lishui City is really from the Shu'an Hou Mansion, then I think the prince may not be the mastermind."
Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows, "Then who do you suspect?" ”
Ning Shu thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's Shu Anhou." ”
A soft-footed shrimp who lingers in the gambling house all day long, is not close to women, and is greedy for the young man, such a person will have the heart to design Xie Yunyan and do it so carefully?
Ning Shu didn't believe it.
Xie Yunyan didn't believe it.
He felt that Ning Shu's words made sense, "But Shu Anhou is not in Kyoto at this time, how can I find out?" ”
"If you can run, a monk can't run the temple." Ning Shu wasn't sure if her guess was right, but this verification process required Xie Yunyan to go.
"Lord Xie, you can think about whether you have a holiday with Shu Anhou, and what is it...... Isn't the absence of Shu Anhou in the mansion to provide convenience for adults? ”
He and his wife went to Jiangnan to recuperate, and it was just a matter of what happened in the past few months.
Many important things should be kept in the house.
Xie Yunyan turned his head with a wicked smile, looked into Ning Shu's eyes and said, "Miss Ning is quite appealing?" ”
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders, "No way, you have a share in this matter, and only you can do it." ”
"It's the truth." Xie Yunyan sighed lightly, took a sip of the tea on the table, and recalled everything about Shu Anhou over the years.
The Marquis of Shu'an has not yet taken refuge in any prince on his face, but his sister seems to be the wife of Lian Shangshu.
And the official Shangshu Lian Rong, that is Concubine Lian's brother.
Xie Yunyan looked at this intricate kinship diagram, and suddenly thought of what Liu Niang said.
"Yu Tong is sure that you will marry Miss Ning!"
Assuming that Ning Shu did not escape in time that day, and the relationship between the two was announced to the world, then if he helped Lord Ning to return to Beijing, it would be a matter of helping his relatives and not helping.
Didn't it happen to fall on the tongues of those old-fashioned people in Kyoto? Even if it is reasonable, it can't be explained?
"Huh!"
Xie Yunyan suddenly laughed lightly, causing Ning Shu to be puzzled for a while.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
Xie Yunyan already had a countermeasure in her heart, and with Yuanwu for protection, her safety should be guaranteed.
It's just that it will take some time to act, and he was worried about what variables would happen during this period, so he asked Xiang Ningshu: "What about Miss Ning?" Is it to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion of Shu'an? ”
"That's nature."
Without a trace of hesitation, Ning Shu said, "If I leave the Hou Mansion suddenly, I may be startled." Besides, what if I discover any other secrets? ”
"Then I'll send some more men." Xie Yunyan knew that he couldn't control Ning Shu's decision, and finally advised: "Miss Ning, be careful. ”
Ning Shu pursed her lips, and a hint of surprise flashed between her eyebrows.
Xie Yunyan's clear peach blossom eyes bent, and the wind explained the doubts in her heart to the girl lightly, "Miss Ning still owes the official a thousand taels of gold that has not been repaid." ”
Ning Shu: !!
……
Li Qing didn't know what shit luck he had taken today, shouting big and big, buying small and small.
It's only been an hour, and the large amount of money lost two days ago has returned to Zhao.
He should have been so happy, but there always seemed to be that beautiful shadow in his heart, which made his heart full of anxiety.
Naturally, today's time is due to Ning Shu's body.
Throw out a silver ingot at will, buy Zhuang to win, and the people around him who have already lost red eyes do not believe in evil and buy the opposite bet against him.
The little guy who was shaking the dice was calm on the surface, and the palms of the hands holding the dice cups were full of large beads of sweat.
"Hou Shizi of Shu'an, are you sure you are buying a village?"
"Don't talk nonsense, get out of the way."
Even if he won the money, Li Qing still looked irritable and urged angrily.
The little guy stopped squeaking and slowly opened the dice cup with trembling hands.
"Shizi, Shizi! Madame sent the little one to tell the prince to return to the Hou Mansion immediately! ”
Li Qing's attention was interrupted, and his face was pale.
"Dead? What are you doing so loudly? ”
"Shizi, Madame said that she has something important to look for you."
"What's the matter?"
The subordinate glanced left and right, covered his mouth with his hand, and said a few words in Li Qing's ear, Li Qing suddenly slapped the table, "There is such a thing?" ”
The subordinate nodded.
Li Qing got up and walked out of the gambling house, and whether the dealer offered it was big or small seemed to have nothing to do with him.
When he rushed back to the Shu'an Hou Mansion non-stop, Xie Yunyan had been gone for a long time.
Ning Luo stepped forward with a faint smile, "Shizi, you're back." ”
"People are gone?"
"Yes......"
"Since you didn't come to look for me, why did Madame call me back in a hurry?"
Li Qing was slightly annoyed, but not sincerely.
When he was in the gambling house, he was worried about whether to go back to his house, and Ning Luo sent someone to invite him to be just a ***.
Ning Luo said guiltily: "It's all my fault, and I didn't expect Master Xie to leave so soon." ”
"But I really didn't expect that Master Xie would come to Shu'er in person, and the relationship between the two of them seems to be ...... It's a bit of a stretch. ”
The speaker seems to be unintentional, but it sounds intentional.
Li Qing's face changed subtly, and he was completely seen by Ning Luo.
She smiled lightly and said, "Husband, you say, are Master Xie and Shu'er talented and beautiful?" ”
"Nonsense! How can a lady be like a shrew in the back of the crowd? Don't forget your identity, every move represents the Hou Mansion! ”
Li Qing's eyelids lifted slightly, and he looked at Ning Luo coldly.
Ning Luo suddenly lowered his head.
She was inferior to her humble background, and after marrying the Hou Mansion, she carefully learned to be a qualified Hou Mansion daughter-in-law.
Be careful everywhere and be cautious in everything.
In the past three years, the people of the Hou Mansion of Shu'an have seen it in their eyes.
Yes, even if everyone has a grudge against her origins, she is still passable in general respect.
Recently, she was panicked by Mrs. Ning's plan, and Ning Luo actually made a mistake of not choosing her words.
She hurriedly explained: "I'm just watching Shu'er reach the age where she should be married......"
"Madame, don't say anything more, the provincial one will listen."
Li Qing left a slightly cool word and walked straight into the mansion.
Ning Luo's hand in front of his lower abdomen slowly put down, and unconsciously tightened the Jinpa in his hand, his eyes were deep.
