A few days after the holy car returned to Beijing, there was a sudden urgent report to enter Beijing.

The urgent report came from the south, and after a post for a horse, it came to the palace gate at noon on this day.

"Eight hundred miles of expedited military report is here, let's get it quickly!"

The sound of horses' hooves was hurried, and immediately the dusty man shouted in a hoarse voice.

Seeing the urgent military flag erected behind it, the palace gate guards hurriedly gave way.

The urgent report was soon delivered to the Temple of Manna.

Suddenly, several palace people came out of the palace and arranged for ministers to be summoned to the palace from all over the place.

There were also chamberlains who came to the Hussar General's Mansion in Xingningfang, and Chang Kuo was summoned and hurriedly entered the palace.

Chang Sui Ning just went to the Guozijian this morning, and he didn't know that Chang Kuo was urgently summoned to the palace, and at this time, Qiao Saijiu and his wife and Qiao Yubai were surrounding her to ask about the hibiscus flower banquet.

This time, the Qiao family went to the banquet only Qiao Yumian, and the flower post was only sent to Qiao Yumian in the hands of the Ministry of Rites to show that everyone was treated equally, from the beginning Qiao Yumian was not among the candidates for the crown princess, so the Qiao family did not follow, but let Qiao Yumian relax with Chang Suining.

In Qiao Saijiu's opinion, Chang Sui Ning should not have been among the candidates, but he didn't expect that there was an accident, and this accident was still the kind that appeared one after another......

first almost became the future princess, then almost became the princess of King Rong, and even almost became the daughter-in-law of the Cui family!

Really, there are twists and turns.

But at this moment, the Qiao family is most concerned about Cui Jing's stubble.

Qiao Yubai was a little worried: "Ning Ning, will it be difficult for you after the rejection of Governor Cui?" ”

Qiao Yang also hesitated and said, "Why don't you let Lao Chang go to solve it?" ”

The young man was used to killing decisively on the battlefield, and it was the first time he was expressed in front of others, so he was rejected...... What if you can't think about it, but what if your mind goes to extremes?

Wang was also a little uneasy.

"Fake." There is no one here, Chang Suining explained: "It's just a show." ”

She gave a general explanation of what was going on.

Everyone in the Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Yubai suddenly realized: "I'll just say...... How could Governor Cui treat Ning Ning with such thoughts! ”

When he first heard about this, he felt that it was generally unrealistic to listen to the book of heaven, and that the co-authorship was fake.

"Why can't we have it, we are so good at Ningning, even if we have, it is human nature." Wang glared at his son, and whispered: "You have to be cautious about this matter, whether it is suspected of bullying the king, and you have to pretend not to know ...... outside."

Qiao Yubai restrained his expression and nodded: "Don't worry, Auntie, my son understands." ”

"What about the prince of Rong?" Qiao Saijiu couldn't help asking: "You are also invited to make a show?" ”

Chang Suining took the chestnuts peeled by Xi'er, and said: "Where can I play the same scene twice, and it is too much of a loss to owe two favors at once." ”

"Then this act of the prince of Rong asking for marriage...... Is it really out of love? "Joe's sacrificial wine will be skeptical.

Chang Suining shook his head: "It's hard to say what this person is thinking." ”

After this incident, it may be seen that this prince of Rong may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, and we must pay attention to it in the future.

Qiao Saijiu rejoiced: "In this way, it is fortunate that there is Cui Dadu Governor to help him......

Otherwise, Sui Ning still doesn't know what kind of trouble and calculations he will fall into.

"Yes, fortunately, Governor Cui came forward in time...... Qiao Yumian recalled the scene at that time, and was still a little afraid: "Otherwise, Ning Ning's family affairs would not be able to help herself." ”

"But for now." Qiao Yumian looked in the direction of Chang Sui Ning and said with a smile: "With the promise of the saint, from now on, Ning Ning can make her own decisions about who she wants to marry and who she doesn't want to marry." ”

Chang Suining slowly chewed the fragrant chestnuts and nodded with a relaxed face.

For her, this is indeed something to be happy and even celebrated.

As in her previous life, she didn't want to have a second time.

Compared with her self-destructive countermeasures, Cui Jing's method this time is really once and for all, and she is very grateful to him.

But there are many other things in this world that can affect her, there are no family affairs, there will be others, she can't feel that everything is okay because of this, on the contrary, she should be prepared to face more trouble.

She has been preparing since she started to be Chang Sui Ning, but it is far from enough.

There was still a long way to go, but it was a road she had to take, if only to cut off the possibility of being manipulated again.

The Qiao family saw the girl sitting in the chair eating chestnuts with a relaxed expression, but they didn't know that the chestnuts were dense and fragrant, but the girl's silent determination was stubborn and firm.

Wang happily recited the sentence of Amitabha: "I have to thank that Cui Dadudu." ”

Qiao Xijiu nodded: "I'll catch a few fish when I go back, and let people send them to Xuance Mansion." ”

Wang glared at her husband: "You are still thinking about fishing today!" ”

"Idle is idle." Qiao Xianjiu subconsciously said a soft word, and then thought of something, and straightened his waist: "Today I am the biggest, you don't care about the birthday star!" ”

Wang gritted his teeth, just three hundred and sixty-five days a year, just let him be rampant on this day, and settle accounts with him when he endures it.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door of the study from the outside, saying that Hu Huan from the Wuji Society was here, and he was coming to Chang Sui Ning and Qiao Yubai.

Chang Suining went to see Hu Huan.

Hu Huan asked a little timidly: "Chang Niangzi...... Cui Liulang asked me to ask, can we still play polo? ”

Chang Suining: "Why don't you fight." ”

After her words, Cui Lang, who was hiding behind the rockery on the side, flashed out with a smiling face: "I knew that the master still recognized me as an apprentice!" ”

He was also afraid that after his eldest brother's expression was rejected, the master would be angry with him, so he threw him away-Cui Lang, who wanted to break up with his eldest brother for the first time in his life, thought.

Fortunately, the master didn't seem to take the matter of the eldest brother to heart.

Just thinking about it like this, Cui Lang couldn't help but feel a little sad for his own brother.

But this sadness did not delay him, and he went to the river to play polo with his classmates in the club.

As soon as Chang Suining and the others walked on the front foot, there were guests on the back foot.

“…… Hey, I said a long time ago that there will be no birthday banquet this year, why did you go out of your busy schedule to make this trip? Qiao Xijiu smiled and sighed to greet him.

Mrs. Chu suddenly said: "Oh, today is your birthday." ”

“？” Qiao Xijiu's smile was a little sluggish: "Then you are old ......"

"Fishing." Mrs. Chu is naturally authentic.

Joe was skeptical.

When the two of them came to the river and sat down, the half-faith was gone.

“…… Today, this polo is played with great effort. Mrs. Chu held the fishing rod and said with some displeasure: "There is no ball flying out for half a day, how can young people play ball so lifeless, have they not eaten?" ”

Joe is accustomed to sacrificing wine.

Since the old lady took over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, now even if an ant crawls past him, he has to be scolded a few times.

A ball flew over, and he was so angry that he wanted to rejuvenate.

No ball flew over, and at this time there was another opinion in the mouth.

Qiao Saijiu was helpless: "What are you looking forward to, at your current age, you really want a ball to hit you, if you don't happen to hit the critical place, it won't be them who are dead......"

Qiao Xijiu said, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Should you be...... You haven't got the painting yet, have you? ”

Mrs. Chu snorted.

Joe's sacrificial wine suddenly.

Oh, it's coming home again. It's not waiting for the ball, it's the person waiting for the ball to pick it up.

"This kid has been really busy lately, you must have heard about those things...... Qiao Xianjiu first quibbled with his own child, and then asked the servant to go to the other side of the court, so that Chang Suining could come over to talk when he was resting in the middle of the field.

When people came over, Mrs. Chu didn't look at anyone, but only smiled and fished and said, "...... This amazing work is not easy to paint, why don't you wait for the old man to be buried in the ground for a hundred years, and burn it in front of the grave to see the old man. ”

"How can I be." Chang Suining said with a smile: "It's already half of the painting, but because of the recent turmoil, my heart can't calm down for a moment, and I don't dare to write at will for a moment." ”

Mrs. Chu's white eyebrows moved slightly: "Oh, you are indeed a nobleman, the old man has been listening to your deeds these days, and his ears are going to grind out calluses, what kind of chess won that Song Juren......"

"Speaking of which, I can win Song Juren, and I have to thank Taifu." The girl stood under the willow tree with her hands in her hands and said with a smile.

Mrs. Chu's eyes narrowed to the girl: "Thank me for what to do?" I am not your teacher, and I have never taught you how to play chess. ”

Chang Suining smiled.

Why not, why haven't I been taught.

But she said: "It is precisely because of you that you named my Juju Society Wuji Society that the people in Song Juren's poetry club were dissatisfied, and everyone provoked and coaxed, so that Song Juren and I competed in chess." ”

"Why do I listen to your girl's words, as if I am blaming me for making enemies for you by taking this name of the society?"

"Where, I want to thank you for helping me make a name for myself."

"How can a young girl talk about fame and fortune all day long...... "Mrs. Chu snorted: "Speaking of fame, the matter of the hibiscus flower banquet, I don't know how many people in Beijing are talking about it now, so it is also your wish?" ”

Chang Suining still smiled: "Then thank you Taifu for organizing this flower banquet." ”

Mrs. Chu glanced at her: "...... How can I thank the old man for everything. ”

It is true that the flower banquet was organized by their Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites was busy, so he did not follow him, and it was only afterwards that he learned about what happened at the banquet.

Her experience was thrilling, but fortunately, there was no danger.

It's also strange to say, he always remembers this little girl from time to time...... If you think about it, it's because you haven't got the painting yet, right?

Mrs. Chu thought in her heart that she had a clear distinction and a clear boundary, but she couldn't stop: "Do you know how everyone is talking about you now?" ”

"It's just that you're too picky, your eyes are above the top, and you don't know what to do?" Chang Suining's tone was as usual, and she sat down on her knees by his fish basket so casually, she had always liked to sit next to the teacher.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu sighed: "Where is there a girl...... Tell me about you, the prince of Rong can't look down on it, then Cui Lingan can't even get into your eyes, and you don't want to do it, princess, what tricks do you want to marry? ”

"When did I say that I didn't want to be the crown princess, wasn't it unfortunate that someone was stirring up? Taifu should also be cautious and say, if this word spreads, I will be in a big disaster. The girl's words were nervous, and her tone was still relaxed.

"I don't see that you're afraid of this." Mrs. Chu asked again: "Then what do you want to marry?" ”

Qiao Xijiu asked with a smile: "Taifu, do you want to be a matchmaker?" ”

Chang Suining smiled: "Then don't bother too much, I have no plans to get married." ”

Mrs. Chu raised her eyebrows: "Don't marry for the rest of your life?" ”

Chang Suining nodded: "Yes." ”

Marrying someone is too troublesome, very constrained, and not suitable for her.

And her life is destined to be pressed on the chessboard, maybe she will die one day, if she marries someone, the other party will become a widower one day, or she will implicate the nine clans, young and old.

This is really unnecessary to harm others and oneself.

Mrs. Chu didn't choke her this time, but said: "If you don't marry, you won't marry, it's not impossible......"

He looked at the calm surface of the river, and suddenly said slowly, "My former student ...... You shouldn't be married. ”

and married so far, if she was wronged there, he, as a teacher, would not be able to help her seek justice.

There must have been many grievances.

"Don't listen to persuasion......" The old man seemed to want to say something to blame, but as soon as the words came out, he didn't feel the slightest sense of blame: "No one could persuade her back then, and I don't know...... She regretted it. ”

The smile on Qiao Saijiu's face faded, and he didn't speak, just silent.

After a while, Mrs. Chu complained: "She won't regret it...... She doesn't care how others worry about it. ”

Chang Suining nodded in his heart.

The teacher who knows her is also.

She never regretted it.

But she misses them too, so isn't she coming back?

She turned her face sideways and smiled at the old man beside her.

“…… What are you laughing at? Mrs. Chu blew his beard, didn't you see that he was angry and sad?

This is also a heartless one!

That's a lot like that!

…… Also similar?

This fleeting thought made Mrs. Chu stunned suddenly, he grasped this thought, and looked at the green-robed girl sitting on the ground with some confusion for a while.

At this time, the old servant of the Chu family walked over quickly.

"My lord, the palace is urgently called." The old servant's voice was slightly panting: "Someone came to the mansion to spread the word, and the sage urgently summoned you to the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Today's old man rests!" Mrs. Chu's anger suddenly grew wildly.

Old servant: "Who said it wasn't, but the saint is urgently calling......"

"It must be something of great importance." Qiao Saijiu said: "Taifu, let's go quickly." ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, I haven't caught a fish yet!" Mrs. Chu said hatefully.

Chang Suining stretched out his hand and took his fishing rod: "I helped you fish, and I caught the fish and sent it back to your house." ”

Mrs. Chu threw the fishing rod to her, reluctantly got up, and left the place with the old servant and a body of resentment.

Glancing at the back of the teacher's departure, Chang Sui Ning asked Qiao Xianjiu with a straight face: "The saint is so urgently summoned, even the officials in Xiu Muzhong have to be summoned into the palace, can the third father know what happened?" ”

In this situation, I'm afraid something has happened.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the fishing rod in her hand swaying slightly, and when she raised her eyes to look, she saw a fish bite the hook, throwing out a circle of water ripples on the originally calm water surface, and the waves vibrated and spread out in front of her eyes.
