294. Return the silver
Wan Ning placed a vase containing a large bouquet of flowers in the center of the room, admired it in a circle, and looked at Brother Ziang with a smile from time to time. Of course, she also saw Yi'er standing at the door, holding a box.
"What are you doing?" Wan Ning asked.
"He took the silver taels left over from the Loose House."
Wan Ning couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "How is it?" Did you buy a house? ”
"Brother, don't worry." He gestured to Yi'er and brought the silver, "Yi'er." ”
"Yes, young master." Yi'er carefully placed the box on the round table and opened the lid.
Gao Ziang put the deed in front of her: "Look, what is this?" ”
"Did you really buy it?"
Gao Ziang nodded lightly: "According to your meaning, let's buy it together, and each of us will pay half of the silver taels, the silver you gave for the first time was originally enough, and I forgot it at that time." Now I will return you with the extra money. ”
For the silver, Wan Ning only glanced at it, held the deed in her hand, raised her face and said, "Brother, that house is ours." ”
"Hmm." Gao Ziang saw Wanning's happy appearance, and he followed with a smile. Then he took out the key and put it on the table: "You can go whenever you want in the future." Although the house is not big compared to the Li Mansion and the Gao Mansion, it is also 'complete', and the courtyard is the style of the Jiangnan Water Town, with small bridges and flowing water. You haven't had a good time before, have you? ”
Wan Ning recalled that she was really not in the mood to visit Xiaoyaoju in the past: "Yes, if you didn't have official business today, we would have gone together." ”
"Well, another day, let's go over and have some fun together." Gao Ziang turned his face and said, "Yi'er, you go out first, I'll talk to Wanning for a while." ”
"Yes." Yi'er understood that the young master was instructing him to hand over the remaining half of the silver taels that they had placed in the next person's room when the two of them came, and told her clearly that she must not tell Miss.
Wan Ning happily hugged him.
"I can't give you the title of wife for the time being, as long as you marry me, I will give it to you in the future. But I still feel very indebted to you, so I try to make it up to you. ”
Wan Ning put her arms on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Being with you is the greatest happiness in my life, how can I owe it?" ”
"Remember the time you married your sister? You were wearing a wedding gown and a red hijab, and you were beautiful that day. ”
Wan Ning sighed lightly: "I haven't been married to you several times, and now I want to marry, but I can only be a concubine." You can't wear a red wedding dress if you remarry. ”
"No, Wanning, you're my wife, always. From the time you were not yet born, to the time we grew old together, forever. ”
"Later, I remembered that my sister said that it is unlucky for an unmarried daughter to wear a wedding dress at will, and it will dilute the happiness that should belong to you. Now it seems that my sister's words have come true. ”
"Don't be discouraged first, as for you to marry me and become my upright wife, then there may be a turnaround."
"What turnaround?"
"For example, if I go to ask the emperor for marriage, for example, if the emperor recognizes you as a righteous daughter, then if you marry, you will never be able to be a concubine. At that time, the Gao family must respect the emperor's order, demote Li Wanying to a concubine, and marry you in a beautiful manner. ”
"What you said is good, the monarch is a minister, I have the heart to keep filial piety for my parents, but the emperor's order is difficult to do." Wan Ning then laughed, "But how could there be such a day? Brother, what do you want? What about dreaming? You don't know the emperor's thoughts. Moreover, my sister thinks that it is still important to keep filial piety to her parents. ”
"It's a matter of people. The emperor may react one day, he is ashamed of Uncle Li, and he will treat you as a daughter in the future. If you really become the emperor's righteous daughter, then his kind of mind will be completely broken. And your royal status is bound to be higher than that of the original family, even if your filial piety period is not yet completed at that time, we can only obey the emperor's orders, and no power can exceed the imperial power. ”
Wan Ning didn't speak again, just leaned on him, and seemed helpless in her heart.
Gao Ziang said in a deep voice: "On the day you married your sister, I should have snatched you directly into the Gao family." When you arrive at the Gao family, with the blessing of the Gao family, no one dares to find your stubble, and no one will look for the Li family's stubble. And you have rightfully been my wife since that day, and we will not have these ups and downs behind. ”
"Then my father will surely reproach me, and he will surely reproach me for running away without shame. Go back in peace, and he'll punish us. ”
"It is precisely because we did not get married smoothly and experienced ups and downs that I want to be close to you and don't want to lose you, so my heart is steady. Do you still blame me? ”
"What else do you say? A moment of confusion may require us to pay a heavy price and long-term remorse. ”
"What's there to regret about this, then you'll have to marry me anyway." Gao Ziang said a little proudly.
"Besides, I'll ignore you!"
Gao Ziang immediately hugged her and asked, "Do you still say that you want the emperor to come up to protect your night in the future?" ”
Wan Ning raised her face and shook her head violently: "No." ”
"I will still guard the night after you. Born to marry, except for your father, the rest of the dark nights of your life will be guarded by me. ”
Wan Ning leaned on him beautifully in her heart.
After a long time, Gao Ziang was a little disappointed: "As you said, I have official business today, and I have to go back early to prepare." ”
There was obvious displeasure on Wan Ning's face: "Okay. Maybe I'll have to go back to the palace today. ”
As the words fell, he stared at Wan Ning for a while before turning to leave.
"Brother!" He had just taken three or four steps out when Wan Ning stopped him.
Gao Ziang turned around, and Wanning immediately hugged him. "I'll take you to the door of the house."
Because she got the evidence of her uncle's friendship with foreign officials, Wan Ning already had a plan in her heart, and she wanted to present it to the emperor tonight. felt a little sorry for his brother, so he took the initiative to send him to the door.
Outside the Li Mansion, Wan Ning looked at his back as he was getting farther away, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She thought to herself, why didn't she make it clear to her brother? There is no need to hide it from him, they trust each other completely, and saying it can reduce some of the guilt in their hearts.
Or does he already know some of his small moves? When I went to my sister's room, he didn't even ask anything. My brother is doing this to himself at this time, hoping to let his uncle go? Absolutely not, he's not such a person. In fact, he knew that it was good, so Wan Ning had no scruples in his heart.
She should have a clear love and hate, after all, her uncle was at fault first. She resented her uncle for stumbling on her father back then, and because the two were quasi-in-laws, it was extremely painful for him to do so. His father suffered, but he still didn't let go, and used his power for personal gain, sending the entire Li family to hell.
Wan Ning admitted that it was all personal grievances, and it seemed inappropriate to announce personal vendettas, and she only wanted to get back everything that belonged to the Li family.
