Chapter Seventy-Four: Missing
Within a few days, Wan Ning was anxious and a little restless. She came to Wang Yunzhi's room, "Mother, woo-" Wanning's eyes welled up with tears, and she walked towards Wang Yunzhi and threw herself into her arms.
"What's wrong? This kidβ"
"I was punished by my father, and my father punished me for studying, and I didn't even have time to play."
Wang Yunzhi smiled and asked, "Girl, are you missing him?" β
"Not really." Wan Ning shyly leaned into Wang Yunzhi's arms.
Wang Yunzhi wiped her tears and said, "Do you still want to hide from your mother with that little bit of caution? Your father is for your good. β
"You guys are too nonsense, how can you help your sister elope? I am desperate to get on the sedan chair, if there is anything missing, you can't cry now. Wang Yunzhi reproached again.
"That was my brother's idea, but he also thought about our Li family wholeheartedly, and he didn't want to, and he tried his best to save me......" Speaking of this, Wan Ning suddenly remembered that two of his subordinates lost their lives, so he didn't say any more.
The mother complained about helping her sister elope, thinking about it, Wanning straightened up and became energetic: "My sister already has someone she likes in her heart, she really doesn't like Zhu Yingjie, how can she marry him?" β
"But you don't believe your father? How could he send his daughter to the fire pit? The Zhu family is indeed a good family, your sister married in the past, and she has no worries in this life. β
Wan Ning stared at a pair of big clear eyes, and asked suspiciously, "But mother, shouldn't we be with the person we love?" β
"Marriage! There are so many and complex problems that you face that you can't solve everything by having two hearts in mind. β
Wan Ning leaned on Wang Yunzhi's arms again, and said with peace of mind: "Brother Ziang and I are very simple, the elders have appointed a marriage contract early, and when the time comes, they will marry, husband and children, probably this is the case in my life." β
Wang Yunzhi tapped the tip of her nose and said, "You girl is not ashamed, girl, to say such a thing." After that, she said slowly, "Wanning, in fact, your father and I both hope that you can live an ordinary life, but you just married into the Houmen, which is as deep as the sea!" Her eyes suddenly turned to sunny: "Fortunately, the Gao family likes you very much, and it can be seen that Gao Ziang is sincere to you, and Xie Xiwen is not a villain." β
Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Wan Ning's face. Of course, she didn't know that the reason why she was at ease was because in addition to feelings, the elders of the two families had already arranged everything.
"Go back to your studies and don't make your father angry. After a while, when your father's anger is a little less, isn't it the same as before? β
Wan Ning asked in surprise, "Really?" β
"Hmm."
Wanning's performance made Wang Yunzhi want to be sure of one thing, when she was alone with Gao Ziang that night, nothing really happened? She didn't suspect Wanning, she just wanted to be sure, so she asked Li Zhenghang: "Master, did you say that they really didn't do anything wrong that night?" β
"I believe in our daughter." Li Zhenghang was determined, and after a pause, he said, "But-"
Wang Yunzhi was anxious: "But what? Don't scare me, sir! β
"Madame! Look where you want to go! The husband just saw that Wanning was not at home all day, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. β
Wang Yunzhi was still puzzled: "Worried? What to worry about? β
"If Wan Ning is so devoted to men, I'm afraid men won't be rare. For women, it's not good. Especially right now, the Gao family may come to discuss marriage one day when they have free time, once Wanning marries, once the young master of the Gao family is fresh, can he still treat Wanning as a baby? Don't look at the two of them growing up together, they have a deep relationship. This young master of the Gao family is innate. Let Wanning read more books, the most direct way to distract her energy. β
Wang Yunzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wanning loved herself, she would still speak for Wanning. She pondered for a moment and said, "The master has a point. But you and I are both from the past, so why torture them so much when we are emotional? Wan Ning wouldn't do anything uncompromising. β
"Your daughter's soul has been taken away, and her husband is just letting her take care of herself."
For Wan Ning, the most painful moment of the day is before dinner. The task assigned by her father, "University" is easy to say, and she writes silently every day, and she is already ripe; A painting is not so difficult, it can be painted in two hours at most. It would be difficult for her to write another article silently, and it would take a lot of time and energy, not to mention that she had other thoughts.
Therefore, she will also be lazy, anyway, her father told her to choose the article.
Wan Ning's careful thinking could not hide it from Li Zhenghang, but she was going to be reprimanded: "You girl doesn't give you some color to see, I'm afraid it's not good, and I will choose a short back for several days in a row." There are a total of three sentences in the "Book of Filial Piety" of the Son of Heaven Chapter, counting the punctuation, there are only a few dozen words before and after, and you memorized it all day! It's really unbelievable! β
Wanning obediently listened to the training, although she was lazy, but today's task was barely completed.
"I'll assign an article tomorrow."
Li Zhenghang's short sentence sounded like five thunderbolts.
"Your task tomorrow is "Su Qin's First General Lian Heng Says Qin".
As soon as these words came out, Wan Ning almost fainted. Just wanted to say something, Li Zhenghang asked again: "Do you understand the meaning?" β
Wan Ning turned around for a long time: "Some understand, but some don't understand, and when you don't understand something, you will come to ask my father if you don't understand something." β
"By the way, father, why don't you ask Mr. Zhiyang to come to the house to teach?"
Li Zhenghang immediately objected: "What do you little girl know!" Zhiyang is not an ordinary teacher, he is not an ordinary person. If you make friends with him in private, you will be caught by someone who cares about your father forming a party. β
In the face of her stern father, she still wants to make a final effort: "Father, my daughter wants to go to school, and her homework will fall behind." β
"Your father, am I unlearned? I don't know if your homework is falling behind? β
"Fatherβ"
"It's useless to be coquettish, hurry up and go back and carry it."
"Father, this "Su Qin Shi Jiang Lian Heng Says Qin" is really not easy to memorize, can you give your daughter two days?"
"What's not so easy to carry! It's your head that wants to be crooked. I'll give you two days, and if you can't carry it, you're not allowed to eat! β
"Oh." Wan Ning drooped her head and left her father's study.
The thoughts at night are the most devastating, and the candles seem to have dimmed a lot, but they can illuminate the words on the books and make the restless heart even more restless. And the same "sleepy thinking and convincing, tossing and turning", is not only Wanning.
And Gao Ziang also missed Wan Ning like crazy, and at night, he found the sachet that Wan Ning gave him, and looked at it in a daze. Is he still thinking of all ways to meet Wanning and find his father to discuss marriage? Uncle Li is still angry. Or find a chance to meet alone, of course, it's best to do that.
