Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Drama

Tang Ning gloated and laughed, "Then I'm afraid she won't have the face to come out before dinner!" ”

"It's better not to come out, it's easier."

Ming Jiazhen's bird poop shower was seen by so many people, and she loved face very much, so she could only wait for the new drama at dinner to attract other people's attention, which was convenient for Ming Lanying to do it.

"By the way, when the weather warms up, I'm going to go to business again." Tang Ning hooked Ming Lanying's neck, and told her with great interest about this trip, "The time has not been set yet, this time I will go farther, there are all kinds of glazed gemstones, I will bring you some big ones, pick the most beautiful jewelry for you to make a box, this time I can pass through the side plug, I will definitely go to your house to see." ”

"Okay, thank you Ah Ning! How long will you be going this time? ”

"This time it is far away, it may take more than half a year."

"It's been more than half a year...... Have a good trip, take care of yourself, this time I'll make you more dry food as a snack on the way! ”

"Don't worry, I have a lot of people with me, and I have close protection in spring, I won't lose a single hair, this time I want to eat beef jerky and crispy shredded chicken you made!"

"Okay!"

Ming Lanying didn't know the territory of this world, and only remembered that the country she was vaguely in had experienced more than ten years of war, drained the treasury, and consumed an emperor, but she subdued all the surrounding countries, and all the reckless and reckless people bowed down.

Trade between countries has also opened up a lot, which is also one of the reasons why Tang Ningneng basically goes out to do business all year round, the emperor also advocates doing business with foreign countries, making money from outsiders is the real ability, the country is strong, and it is also the capital for them to travel between countries to do business.

Tang Ning started to go into business because of Ye Juelu, but now it is purely because he likes to watch the north and south of the river, find some fresh and rare things, and make the sister in the palace happy. Although the Tang family doesn't look down on her as a girl's business, they can't do anything about her, with the support of her sister in the palace, they can't scold her, they have to follow it.

Tang Ning now has her own caravan, and every year she plans a large-scale trade with neighboring countries, after Ming Lanying gets acquainted with her, every time she listens to her adventure story, she is a little frightened, and the thrills and accidents along the way, even if Tang Ning is experienced, it is still frightening.

Tang Ning could understand Ming Lanying's mood, and she was worried while supporting, this contradictory mood moved her very much, "Don't worry, I will secretly tell you that every time before traveling, my sister will ask the palace supervisor Si Tian to calculate, and only when everything goes well can she set off." Besides, as for your Hai Dongqing, I told you the route, let Hai Dongqing send me a letter when you want me, and it will only be a few days, if I have anything, you will be the first to know! ”

Ming Lanying nodded, "I know, it's just that I'm suffering from Xiao San, and I'm going to send messages for the two of us from time to time." ”

Tang Ning was also happy, "Hai Dongqing, who was rewarded by the emperor, has become a messenger for you, and you are the only one who is so bold." ”

"Make the most of it!"

Ming Lanying was actually worried about another thing, Prince Heng in Yongzhou City would launch a mutiny at any time.

The emperor in the first emperor painstakingly planned the future blueprint to improve more refined, everything is in ruins, but are developing for the better, if nothing else, only 20 years, can usher in the prosperity of the country and the people.

If nothing else, there is always an accident, and Prince Heng's accident happened to be stuck in the accelerated development of ten years.

Judging from Ming Lanying's thin understanding of Prince Heng during this period, he always felt that Prince Heng did not look like a person who could be a good emperor, because his goal was only to want the throne, not to win the throne for the people of the world.

Judging from his flowery backyard, he is a person who doesn't even care if the person next to the pillow is good or bad, even the person next to the pillow can't be responsible, how can he be responsible for the people of the world, if Prince Heng succeeds in usurping the throne, then I don't know how many years this prosperous era will be delayed.

Ming Lanying thought about it, her face was worried that she couldn't hide, Tang Ning reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, "What's wrong?" The face is full of worry, and the brows are going to pile up! ”

Ming Lanying shook her head, "It's okay, it's just that I'm thinking too much." ”

Tang Ning bent his eyebrows, "Don't think about those nerve-wracking ones, when the sky falls, there is a high top, you can't stand up to it if you think so much, it's better to think about what you can do!" For example, the shooting range in front of you, or the racetrack outside, which do you want? Let me teach you, Hebai and Ning'er are having a lot of fun. ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyes and looked, Hebai taught seriously, Ning Er was already able to shoot at the arrow target ten meters away, and smiled smugly at Tang Ning, "It's worthy of being my son, learning is fast!" ”

Tang Ning scratched her waist funny, "I know that you baby your son, there were people who said before that they wanted to divide my son in half, I don't know if you remember?" ”

Ming Lanying was afraid of itching on her waist, and she couldn't dodge and held her chaotic hand and begged for mercy, "Remember, if you want a godson, I'll go back and let Ye Jielu find a good life, you come over, I'll make a table of wine*** Fang Fang let Ning'er recognize you as a godmother!" ”

"Ning'er is very good, but it's a pity that I just want to wait for you to have another daughter, and I will recognize it together!" Tang Ning's abacus clicked, "When the time comes, I will have a son and a daughter in one go, holding one in my left hand and one in my right hand, beautiful!" ”

Ming Lanying glared at her coquettishly, "The abacus is quite full." ”

"Of course, if you want to recognize it, you can recognize the best of both worlds!"

"Then I can only try my best to fulfill your wishes, but I prefer that Ye Jielu can give birth to himself."

"Hahahahaha

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to say that it was impossible, giving birth to a child is such a terrible thing, why is she the only one who wants a man to have a child. It took a moment of thought to reflect that it is true here, that it is natural for a woman to get married and have children, it is a necessary responsibility and obligation, and it is the ideological influence instilled by the social environment.

“…… Giving birth to such a painful thing, how can only one person suffer, I think he will suffer this hardship with me, share the blessings and difficulties! ”

Tang Ning was so amused by her that she couldn't see her teeth, "You're right, I'm going to find someone who is willing to suffer with me and have children in the future, hahahahahahaha-"

Ming Lanying also picked up a bow and arrow with a smile and tried to pull it away, a little laborious, Tang Ning changed it to a light one, and Ming Lanying found that Fengchun, who usually never left an inch, didn't see it today.

"What about spring? Didn't come with you today? ”

Tang Ning taught her to draw a bow and arrow, and a slightly low and pleasant voice sounded in her ears, "I have always disliked this kind of occasion, if it weren't for my mother's coercion to deadlift today, I wouldn't have come, Fengchun is not suitable for here, I will let her keep an eye on the goods and horses, and it is more reassuring to have her to keep an eye on it for me." ”

Tang Ning's voice was hearty and slightly low, not as gentle and petty as a boudoir woman, Ming Lanying teased: "A Ning's voice is so good, when I hear the voice, I think she is a big beauty!" ”

"Laughing at me? My voice is as good as yours, and my mother often says that my voice is thick outside. ”

As soon as Tang Ning's hand was released, Ming Lanying didn't hold the arrow in his hand for a while, and flew out with a swish, grazing the edge of the target.

Ming Lanying didn't care, she used the end of the bow with her backhand, and the carved bow gently picked up her chin, and her tone was also childish, "This voice is clear and clean, where is it thick?" The person is also handsome, and he is really a beauty! ”

Tang Ning cried and laughed and pushed away the bow, "Okay, I'll show you a real beauty tonight!" The voice is as crisp and clean as a lark, and the body is also soft, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, which are very seductive and lively! ”

Ming Lanying was surprised, Tang Ning's vision was not bad, even high, how goblin could he be praised by Tang Ning like this?

"And this beauty?"

Tang Ning smiled proudly, "Naturally, this person is still the person you can use tonight." ”

"The people of the pear orchard?"

Tang Ning nodded, "Don't worry, your business will not affect the beauty in the slightest." ”

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, "If my business affects the future of the beauty, then I am guilty." ”

After all, what's wrong with beauty?

"Ming Jiazhen is also a beautiful embryo, right?"

Ming Lanying chuckled disdainfully, "If she is a quiet beauty, I don't mind going with the flow to praise her, but if she provokes me first, I will lose the privilege of a beauty." ”

Tang Ning looked up at the clear sky, the spring breeze at the moment was still cold, and he had to bask in the sun to feel a little warm, and the large clouds were stacked into huge clouds, flowing slowly.

She muttered, "I can't wait......"

The spring banquet left the guests to eat dinner, and it ended before closing the city gate, and the Ming Lanying and several people played in the shooting range for an afternoon, and finally waited for the sunset in the western mountains, the twilight and sunset shrouded the blue water garden, and the soft clouds on the horizon were also dyed with gorgeous orange pink.

Ming Lanying called Hebai, Hebai glanced at her from a distance, knew it in his heart, rubbed Ning'er's head, bowed his head and admonished, and then looked up, Tang Ning waved his hand at Hebai, and pointed to the large terrace of the blue and red veil in the long pavilion of the verandah.

Tsurubai grinned, pounded his chest with a fist with one hand, confidently avoided the crowd, and galloped towards the courtyard.

Ning Er put down her bow and arrows and trotted over, "Mother, what is Aunt Hebai going to do?" ”

Ming Lanying wiped the thin sweat on his little face for him, "I suddenly remembered one thing and forgot, let your Aunt Hebai go and have a look, and I'll be back soon." ”

Tang Ning glanced at the long pavilion in the verandah, where the crowd gradually gathered, and the maids from the shooting range also hurriedly came over to tell them that it was time for dinner.

Tang Ning smiled and pointed to the temporary theater shed behind the big terrace, "Come over, I asked the Duchess of Dingguo for a favor at lunch, you can order a play with the troupe master, I'll go first." ”

Ming Lanying nodded, took Ning'er's hand and followed the maid into the banquet first.

Because of the special status of the commander's wife, there are also many people who come forward to have a good relationship, but she hid it during lunch, and now she can't hide from dinner and other banquets.

Mrs. came up with a smile on her face, and she could pull out a little relationship in just a few words, Ming Lanying had to take out twelve points of spirit to deal with it, and the sleek social means accumulated in her previous life were used here again, and Ming Lanying only felt tired.

The man didn't bring his family there, so he couldn't talk to her, so he sent the children of the family to find Ning'er, Ning'er was very clever, relying on her young age, she followed Ming Lanying every step of the way, and saw what her mother did, he did it lukewarmly, not to mention sleek, but also flawless, so that those children who came with a purpose didn't take advantage of it.

After socializing for a long time, the banquet finally opened, and the ladies sat back in their seats with a smile, and only after moving the chopsticks did they react as if the relationship was not close, but Ming Lanying was so sincere and thoughtful, giving them the illusion that they were getting along very well, so did the relationship take or didn't get along?

The opening of the table also means that the play on the opposite terrace is about to start, the blue and red veil is fluttering in the wind, as the drum beat is getting faster and faster, a loud singing voice opens, Tsing Yi Meidan steps on the standard fine steps to dance, the story begins.

Ming Lanying responded to the toasts of several ladies around her with a smile, squinted and glanced at the location of Qin Meiyan and Qi Ningshuang, sure enough, Qi Ningshuang's side was empty, Minglan Ying's ears were tipped, and she heard the sound of wings fluttering in the sky, and it looked like the two cuckoos.

"Hey woman! We just saw that the person you had let us bully was carried away. ”

"I carried it to the troupe, and I joined the woman next to you in the afternoon."

The two cuckoos tilted their heads at the same time to look at Ming Lanying, and said in unison: "You still want to bully her?" Sure enough, mortals are ruthless. ”

Ming Lanying glared at the two of them without a trace, and secretly made gestures to drive them away, and the two cuckoos did not dare to make her angry, after all, the promised reward had not yet arrived, and she stood on the eaves and watched the play with her feathers.

At the beginning of the banquet, a maid hurriedly came and whispered a few words in Qi Ningshuang's ear, Qi Ningshuang's face changed, and she told the maid to get up and leave after a few words.

Ming Lanying stepped on the point where she was about to get up, and leaned over with a wine glass, "This is the third aunt, right?" I haven't seen you for a long time, but does the third aunt still remember me? ”

Qi Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, looking at Ming Lanying who didn't react for a while, Qin Meiyan beside her explained with a smile: "Of course the third brother and sister don't recognize it, Ningshuang, this is the Lanying of the big house!" ”

Qi Ningshuang was stunned, pulled the corners of her mouth twisted, and smiled without embarrassment, "It turned out to be Lan Ying's niece, I haven't seen her for a long time, the change is quite big, the third aunt didn't recognize it for a while, don't be surprised." ”

Ming Lanying smiled and added wine to Qi Ningshuang's wine cup, "Don't blame the third aunt, I don't blame the third aunt for a long time, I miss it, I came to toast the third aunt with a glass." ”

Qi Ningshuang took a perfunctory sip, "I still have something to do, let's catch up later-"

"Huh? The third aunt, why didn't you see the seventeenth sister when they were all at the table? Seventeenth sister, where did this go to play alone? ”

Ming Lanying's voice is not small, and it can be heard at several tables around her, attracting some attention, but it is not rude.

Qi Ningshuang glared at her hatefully, "Jiazhen is unwell, I'll let her rest a little longer, I'm about to go to see her, do Lan Ying's nieces want to be together?" ”

Ming Lanying caught a glimpse of Hebai as if he was lost and followed the maid back, smiled and shook his head at Qi Ningshuang, "In that case, then the third aunt should hurry up and take a look, and say hello for me." ”

Qi Ningshuang glanced at her inexplicably, and couldn't understand whether she had come here to toast or had another purpose, but the most important thing at the moment was that her baby daughter was gone, and she hurried to the other courtyard with her skirt.

did a full set of plays, as soon as Qi Ningshuang left, Ming Lanying and Qin Xiaoyan also toasted a glass of wine, Qin Xiaoyan got some face and began to pretend, and began to preach Ming Lanying, but was perfunctory by Ming Lanying.

Returning to his seat, Hebai leaned over and whispered, "Report to my sister-in-law, everything is fine." ”

"Where's Ah Ning?"

Hebai quietly pointed to the seat in front of the oblique side, Tang Ning was tilting his head sideways to listen to a lady beside him, just in time to see Ming Lanying's eyes, he raised his wine glass and toasted from afar.

Ming Lan Ying bent her eyebrows, smiled and saluted, Hebai took a bite of the soft pork knuckle, tilted his body, and touched Ming Lan Ying on his shoulder.

"Sister-in-law's stands, that Tsing Yi Meidan is the little goblin that Sister Tang Ning said."

"Leprechaun?"

Ning Er raised her head suspiciously and looked over, on the stage built on the big terrace opposite, Meidan in Tsing Yi was singing and harmonizing with another purple-faced face, Meidan was really beautiful, with a graceful figure, a tactful and crisp voice, and smart eyebrows and eyes like hooks, which tickled people's hearts.

Ning Er looked at it for a while and didn't see anything, then raised her head and asked Ming Lanying, "Mother, what do you mean by a little goblin?" Which is Leprechaun? ”

Ming Lanying glared at Hebai, and Hebai relied on the statement of watching the play book to explain, "A little goblin refers to a good-looking person, like everything that has been cultivated into a fine, and anyone who can become a human is called a little goblin." ”

Ning Er nodded as if she didn't understand, and the plot on the opposite stage seemed to have developed to a climax in the middle, and suddenly a lot of martial artists played a fight, and the officials here applauded again and again.

Then the two ugly dans carried a big box like a treasure, the big box was pushed to the middle of the stage, Wu Sheng surrounded the back, Tsing Yi and the purple face were pushed to the side of the box, and the two ugly dans played a piece of kung fu and opened the box.

As soon as Hebai saw the box, he hurriedly twisted Ning'er's little head and covered his eyes, "Ning'er, next my aunt is going to test you a poem, and if you can't think of it, don't open your eyes." ”

Although Ning Er didn't understand why it was so sudden, she still nodded obediently.

Hebai excitedly looked at the play that was still going on on the stage, and casually pulled a topic, "Today I saw an extremely rare piece of white jade in Bishui Garden, not like jade or like a stone, how do you describe it in the words of poetry?" ”

Ning Er closed her eyes and pondered, and the boxes on the stage were opened in pieces.

The split opening was to let the little student hidden in the box jump out, who would have thought that the moment the box was opened, everyone on the stage was frightened and overwhelmed, and it was too late to save it, and there was an uproar in the official seat opposite.

Ming Lanying pinched the handkerchief and covered her mouth and looked at the person who was replaced in the box, afraid that she would gloat and smile too obviously.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Hebai directly exclaimed, "Oh my God! Isn't that the seventeenth girl of the Ming family! ”

The troupe owner's eyes were black, and in this torn box was supposed to be a white-faced student, but now it was a living, naked woman!

First of all, a young student in the class who had just entered the industry and the maid of the Dingguo Mansion secretly colluded in the master's yard, and now it is a naked and unconscious girl from the Ming family who has opened the box, how can he explain this fatal accident!

Brainless logic! Watch the excitement!!! (_)
