Li Shi is very satisfied with today's supper. The family is neat and tidy, eating meat, drinking tea, talking about the past and the present, talking and laughing, it is really happy. But when the banquet was dispersed, when Ning Guogong and Ning Chao asked her to ask her for Old Lady Ning's request alone, her face turned cold.

"What—I want to give her mother's family 100,000 taels of silver!"

Li Shi was so angry that his hands trembled, and he slapped Ning Chao's hand, "Then you agreed?" ”

Ning Chao didn't dare to speak out when he was beaten, and nodded silently, "Yes, I agreed." ”

He said, "Grandmother said that she was just such an elder brother, and if she didn't give the money, she would tell her third brother to her niece." ”

Li: "So you agreed?" ”

Ning Chao: "Yes, compared to 100,000 taels, the marriage of the third brother is more important. ”

Li gritted his teeth, but looking at Ning Guogong's appearance, he knew that he had no complaints, so he endured this breath and said, "No matter how I am, I won't worry about her in terms of money, just give it, just ...... They don't want a penny from our family in the future. ”

Ning Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid that his wife would disagree, so he let his son play as a striker, he said: "In the end, it is my mother, where can I not take care of it at all?" ”

He also felt guilty.

So a few days later, he asked people to send the silver to his uncle's house, and then personally took the children of the family to send the old lady out of Muzhou.

As soon as Muzhou went thousands of miles, Mrs. Ning hugged Ning Guogong and cried, scolding him fiercely, "I have an old bone, you still toss me, and you are not afraid of retribution." ”

Ning Guogong couldn't bear it first, but when he thought of his wife telling him about his mother's promise to the Mo family's girl's marriage, he still relented, "When my mother wants to come back, my son will personally pick up my mother." ”

Old Madam Ning had no choice, she punched her son in the chest, and then got into the carriage and left, never looking back.

Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait for the whole world to celebrate. But he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only be tolerant and accompany Ning Guogong to "don't think about tea and dinner".

When Ning Guogong went to court, she immediately asked the maid happily, "What are the children doing?" ”

The maid was used to her asking like this, so she had already inquired in detail, and said, "The third young master went to Xiaoxi Mountain today, and said that he would go to Xiaoxi Mountain to see the Zhuangzi in the house." ”

Li: "Yes, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the weather will turn cooler, and it is not bad to take the children to Xiaoxi Mountain to soak in the hot springs. ”

Maid: "The cousin of the Sheng family has been painting these days. ”

Li didn't ask much, after all, it was common for Yanling to draw and write and read.

Of course, she was most concerned about Ning Chen and the Huang family girl. The maid smiled and said: "The fifth girl is the east, invited the fourth young master and Miss Huang to drink tea, and pulled the third young master and the Sheng family cousin girl to accompany her, and she has already blushed from being amiable to meeting." ”

Li Shi said beautifully: "Okay, okay, Xixi has really done a great thing." ”

She has been busy seeing off the old lady these days, and she has no time to take care of the children.

She stood up and went to sneak in to see how Ning Chen and Miss Huang Zhengqi got along, and just happened to see the two of them talking about eating there.

A person sits upright on a chair, his ears are red, but he still has a face, and he wears a lot of gold jewelry from head to tail, which shows that he has been dressed up with heart.

The children are so good, Li covered his mouth and smiled. Then he took advantage of lunch to call Ning Chen to his side, "Do you think the girl of the Huang family is okay?" ”

Ning Chen didn't know what she meant, lowered his head and began to blush again, "Okay." ”

Li teased him: "Where's the good?" ”

Ning Chen's face turned even redder, "At first, I thought she was so fast and lively, I couldn't speak, she was very able to speak, we were very suitable, and then I thought she was very cute, cute everywhere." ”

Li's eyes lit up, and he scolded the old pious woman for being a demon and delaying his good time to watch the children talk about love, and finally asked Ning Chen, "Then what does she mean?" ”

Ning Chen: "I don't know. Mother...... Can you help me ask? ”

Li likes to do these things. She patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, I'll ask, she should like you too." When you all agree, I will propose marriage, set a marriage, and get married in a few years. ”

Then he said: "But what I said in the front, if you want to marry her, you have to be good to her, don't be like your second brother, when I think of your second sister-in-law's lonely appearance, I can't bear it." ”

Ning Chen nodded, "Yes, I won't be like the second brother." ”

Li: "Besides, even if you are married, you won't be able to marry for a while, Zhengqi is the only girl in the Huang family, she is favored, and the family is unwilling to let her marry so early." ”

Ning Chen felt that after a few years, he would study hard, and he would always be able to get a name for himself.

And he knew that his mother remembered him as a sister-in-law. He said gratefully: "I know that my mother has never regarded me as a concubine, everything is for my good, but I have also been sad since I was a child because I was not born by my mother, and now everything seems to have come true." ”

He has never seen his biological mother since he was a child, he has always been raised by the Li family, he was ignorant when he was a child, and he always felt that he was the same as his third brother. But later I realized that I was a concubine. There is a world of difference between a concubine and a concubine.

He was also confused, but he was slowly relieved: because his biological mother has the grace of birth and his mother has the grace of support, if he blindly remembers his mother and forgets the kindness of his biological mother, he is not a manly man. Besides, his mother and father treat him equally, and there is no difference between them, if he blindly lets himself fall into the strange circle of his son-in-law, then he is sorry for the parenting grace of his parents. I didn't expect that after so many years of going around and around, I could still get my wish.

Li Shi was also very sad, "I don't lie to you, where can people's hearts be very fair?" So you weren't born to me, so I don't want you to go to the family tree. But now that you have grown up, and I am also old, there are some things that should be passed and relieved, and if I delay you because of this big thing, then I will be stupid. ”

Ning Chen was even more moved, and went out with red eyes. I also met Miss Huang halfway. When he saw her, he was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and quickly left.

Miss Huang was uneasy in her heart, and pulled the fifth girl to find the feast bell, "Let's talk to the three of us, guess why he is crying!" ”

The fifth girl yawned, "The banquet bell is painting, mysterious and mysterious." ”

Miss Huang: "Then let's raid and see what she's drawing." ”

The two of them carefully circled around and went under her window, and when they poked their heads out, they saw that the feast bell was drawing people at the desk by the window.

Miss Huang recognized it at a glance, "It's Sui Mingting!" ”

The five girls stretched out their heads to look, only to see that on the picture scroll, four words were written on the Autumn Mountain Courtyard, as well as "Autumn Mountain is secluded and flowers fall in spring, a handful of mountain light and two sleeves of dust." Verses.

The person in the painting, dressed in pale blue clothes, sits on a table with a book in his hand, as if he is lecturing.

The fifth girl was surprised, "This is what the third brother said that day...... Is it a matter of lecturing with the prince at Akiyama Academy? ”

These words were a little loud, and when Feast Ling saw them, he came back to his senses and was startled, and hurriedly put away the scroll, Miss Huang's hands and feet were nimble, and she went in through the window, and then looked at her and said: "Sister Feast Bell, you have painted well, as if you really saw him lecturing like this." ”

The feast bell covered the puffing heart, and reluctantly lied, "Yes...... When I have nothing to do, I want to paint. ”

The fifth girl was suspicious, "Really? ”

Feast Bell: "Yes!" Isn't it also imaginary for men to draw pictures of ladies? Me too. ”

The fifth girl didn't doubt it anymore, and thought she was really amazing. She said, "You are so good at painting, even my second brother is not as good as yours." ”

Miss Huang took the opportunity to say to her brother, "Yanling, you are so good at painting, and you are not bad with my brother." When you meet in the future, you can talk about your painting skills. ”

Feast Bell nodded, "Okay." ”

She picked up the portrait of her husband and looked at it for a moment, blew the ink that had not dried on it, and finally solemnly put it away.

Not only did she paint such a picture, but she also painted the interesting story that Ning Guogong said, and wrote the words "Praise Huang Shangshu was scolded" on it.

She had already decided that she was going to paint a lot of the paintings of her husband when he was young. If you draw it, you'll see it.

- I've seen it, even if I reunited with my husband back then.

Hey, I missed the appointment again.

I bought coffee and came back, and I'll make it up tonight, or my credit will be ruined.

Sleep, I'll continue to code.
