Chapter 50: The Release of the Hostages
Li Zhenghang told Wanning that Gao Ziang would be released from the palace today. Wan Ning was very happy: "Father, I'll pick him up." Li Zhenghang nodded slightly: "Yes." And he also sent a subordinate to Gao Mansion to report the letter, saying that Wan Ning was going to pick up Gao Ziang, and there was no need for the government to mobilize the people.
Wan Ning happily ran to Li Wanying's room and said, "Sister, let's go pick up Brother Ziang together." ”
"Gao Ziang is out of the palace today?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, when my sister dresses up, I'll go with you to pick him up."
My sister wants to dress up beautifully, and Wanning also learns from her, hoping that Brother Ziang will see her beautiful self. The sisters packed everything and went out together to pick up Gao Ziang. As soon as I got out of the gate, there was a man who had been waiting for a long time. Wan Ning shouted politely, "Brother Duan." ”
Brother Duan in Wanning's mouth, his name is Duan Ruiyi. The reason why Li Wanying wants to dress up beautifully is because she cares about this man.
Duan Ruiyi has no background, and his family background is average. Because he has studied, he is polite and polite, and he is also beautiful, two years older than Wanying. Once after the Wanning sisters went out to play, on the way home, Wanning looked here and there, very lively, and seemed to have an inexhaustible curiosity about the world. And Wanying is much calmer because she is a few years older.
A man passed by and saw Wan Yingtingting, with jade beaded flowers, a pair of eyes that were so clear and moving, and her pink lips were slightly raised. This casual smile poured his heart from then on, this man was Duan Ruiyi. Just because of a chance encounter on the street, since then, this Duan Ruiyi has entered Li Wanying's world.
Li Wanying, who is growing up, has more men around her. At this time, she was also at the age of talking about marriage, and Li Zhenghang and his wife did not interfere with her dealings with men.
The two sisters sat in a sedan chair and were escorted by Duan Ruiyi and the Li Mansion to the palace to pick up Wanning's brother Ziang. Wanning's excitement along the way provoked Wanying to reproach her: "Look at you like this, let Brother Duan laugh at you." ”
Wan Ning didn't care if she joked or not, she only knew that she could play with her brother like before after that. However, at this moment, it is not Wanning who makes people laugh, but Wanying. Wanning's mind is not mature, and she is still in the stage of no guessing with Gao Ziang, while Wanying has long been confused by men.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, a subordinate of the Gao family also came, he came on horseback, and he had been waiting for a long time. "Miss Wanning, I am a subordinate of the Gao Mansion, and Mrs. asked the little one to come over and give you a hand. There are two of us, and he has already entered the palace to pick up the young master. ”
"Thank you."
"Miss Wanning is polite."
Wan Ning kept looking inside the palace gate, and finally saw her brother Ziang. Don't make a loud noise here, she can only wave at Gao Ziang constantly. Gao Ziang also saw her, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't run wild in the palace, he just walked quickly, and when he was about to reach the palace gate, he quickly ran to Wanning and took her little hand: "Wanning." ”
"Brother, you're finally out."
"Wanning, I'm so glad you can pick me up. You know, I was looking forward to ...... a few days ago" Gao Ziang talked to Wan Ning for a while, and he couldn't wait to tell her all the things he was going to say to Wan Ning these days.
Wan Ning said: "Brother, we will have time to speak in the future. Don't delay any longer, my aunt must be in a hurry, and we will send you home together. ”
Gao Ziang reacted at this time, and his father and mother were still waiting for him at home: "Okay." ”
Gao Ziang sent his subordinates to ride back to Gaofu to report the news first, and he and Wanning sat in a sedan chair together. Gao Ziang, who was sitting in a sedan chair, still told Wanning about the new things he encountered in the palace.
"Madam, the young master will be back soon! I'm already on my way home. ”
"Okay, got it." As soon as Xie Xiwen heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly went to the gate of the Gao Mansion and waited. After a while, seeing the sedan chair slowly driving over, Xie Xiwen couldn't wait to step forward. As soon as Xiao Ziang got off the sedan chair, she hugged Gao Ziang tightly in her arms, and tears of excitement flowed from her eyes: "Good boy, I'm finally back." ”
"Mother." Gao Ziang called out and reached out to wipe the tears on Xie Xiwen's face, "The child is back." ”
"Uh-huh, I'm back, I'm back." Xie Xiwen nodded with tears in his eyes.
After a while, Xie Xiwen was finally willing to let go of the boy Ang. She turned her head and saw Wan Ning. Wan Ning hurriedly bowed to Xie Xiwen: "Hello auntie." ”
"Wan Ning is good, I bother you to pick up Ziang and go home."
"Auntie, you are too polite, this is what Wanning should do."
Wanying also saluted Xie Xiwen. Xie Xiwen saw a strange man standing next to Wanying and asked, "Who is this son?" ”
"Auntie, he's Brother Duan." Wan Ning replied.
Xie Xiwen took a closer look at him and found that Duan Ruiyi's eyes were very subtle when he looked at Li Wanying, and he understood everything. She looked around and said, "Come on, come on, let's all come in." ”
Before the group reached the main hall, they saw Gao Junming coming from the corridor. When Gao Ziang saw him, he immediately threw himself into his arms and shouted, "Father." Gao Junming stroked the boy's head: "Good." ”
The Wanning sisters also hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.
A group of people sat in the main hall and talked for a while, and Gao Junming, the head of the family, spoke: "You all have lunch in the house today." ”
The Wanning sisters immediately got up: "Thank you, uncle." ”
After the family got together, there was still some time before lunch, and Wan Ning followed Gao Ziang to his room. Because she likes to watch Ziang's brother's belongings being put down and organized, which gives her a sense of steadiness.
After lunch, Xiao Ziang planned to go out to play with Wanning, but after rubbing in Xie Xiwen's arms for a long time, he finally said, "Mother, the child has gone out to play." ”
Xie Xiwen stroked his head and said, "Go play."
Wan Ning, Wan Ying, Gao Ziang, and Duan Ruiyi came to the pear orchard, and the pear trees had not been watered for a long time, so the two boys were busy. I first went to Li's Mansion to get a bucket, and then went to the river to fetch water.
The sisters watched them busy, and Wanying said, "Wanning, do you see them charming?" Wan Ning didn't know what her sister was talking about, but just shook her head ignorantly.
"Men are charming when they give, especially when men give for women." Wanying said.
Wan Ning was puzzled by the fact that she always called a man in her sister's mouth: "Sister, you are only four years older than me, why do you open your mouth and shut up about men all day long?" ”
"That's natural, a woman can have a complete life when she has a man."
Wan Ning was very awkward when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say, she was thinking. Wanying seemed to see her thoughts, and she didn't agree with what she said.
Duan Ruiyi looked back at the two sisters, straightened his waist, and walked over and gave each of the sisters a candy. Wan Ning took the candy, tore open the wrapper, and couldn't wait to lick it. Li Wanying looked at Wanning and asked, "Is it sweet?" ”
Wan Ning nodded happily: "Hmm! She continued to lick the candy cube happily.
"There's still a man." Wanying said.
Wan Ning turned her face: "Sister, you can't see a man's mind with just a piece of sugar." ”
"It's not good to give you sugar, what else are you going to do? One sugar is not enough, two? Three? …… A hundred? I'm not as greedy as you are. ”
"Sister, it's not that I'm greedy. Just because a man can give you a hundred candies doesn't mean he's sincere to you. It's a pity that Wanning's reminder Li Wanying didn't listen to it at all.
After the two sisters happily finished eating the candy cubes, Wan Ning looked at the two boys who were still busy, and said, "Sister, let's help them too." ”
Wanying responded: "Okay." ”
Gao Ziang manages the pear orchard so carefully, one reason is that Wan Ning likes pear blossoms very much, loves the house and Wu? Perhaps, but it can't be reached for the two children now. Gao Ziang only knew that if Sister Wanning was happy, he would also be very happy.
