Xuanyi flickered, his face was like a crown of jade, Ning Changting stepped forward, and his body became an innate noble posture.

The bright moon and clear light fell between his slender and comfortable eyebrows, which made it even colder.

Rao didn't look down on his Shen Qisu, and when he saw his appearance and demeanor, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

It's a pity, such a good handsome demeanor, a gentleman.

How can there be no heirs?

Ning Changting directly ignored the obvious pity and pity in Shen Qisu's eyes.

His gaze stayed on Cha Jiu and said, "Today's matter is that my mother has thought about it, and I have persuaded her to exempt you from punishment and go back to rest." ”

Shen Qisu got up from the futon, bowed his head and covered his face to Ning Changting, and then fled as if he were flying.

For fear that Ning Changting would accidentally fall in love with her.

"Thank you, Brother Changting." Cha Jiu stood up and saluted him according to the rules and etiquette.

Ning Changting didn't say anything, he responded with a slight bow, and was about to turn around and leave.

Cha Jiu stared at his sleeve and said, "Your clothes are torn." ”

Ning Changting followed her gaze and looked down, and there was indeed a slender crack in his sleeve.

It must have been hooked when he got out of the carriage.

It's not easy to spot without looking closely.

Cha Jiu took out a small sewing kit from his sleeve, threaded the needle, and carefully helped him sew and mend his clothes.

The candlelight dimmed, and Cha Jiu came closer because of the sewing.

The delicate breath of the rose seeped into Ning Changting's breath, and his body stiffened, unconsciously wanting to take a step back.

"Don't move." Cha Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and there was unintentional anger in his eyes that were as smart as water.

Ning Changting stood obediently, and the tips of his ears turned red inexplicably.

He looked down and saw Cha Jiu's eyelashes like butterfly wings, trembling slightly from his concentration.

Cute tight.

He suddenly thought of what Cha Jiu said just now.

- "I've liked Brother Changting for a long time. ”

"Alright."

Cha Jiu finished the stitches, lowered his head and bit off the thread.

Ning Changting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed in his throat, and spit out two dry words: "Thank you." ”

Cha Jiu smiled at him: "You're welcome, Brother Changting." ”

This sweet Changting brother is not half unwilling and hypocritical, Ning Changting can hear it.

She is different from Shen Qisu.

Shen Qisu has always insisted on calling Ning Changting "Shizi", which is nothing more than to distance the relationship, remind him, and remind everyone that she has no intention of the position of the young lady of the Hou Mansion.

He knew, but he didn't care.

Shen Qisu doesn't look down on him, and he doesn't necessarily look down on Shen Qisu.

In his life, he is determined not to be tempted by any woman, and he does not plan to marry a wife and delay others.

Now that he has made up his mind, Ning Changting doesn't want Cha Jiu to waste his feelings on himself.

But when he wanted to speak frankly, the words were frozen when they came to his mouth, and he couldn't say anything.

Cha Jiu looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

Ning Changting's thin lips opened slightly, and he only said one sentence in the end.

"Nothing."

……

Hou Mansion, Songhe Hall.

Hou's grandmother, Mrs. Ning, copied the scriptures while listening to the news of the ancestral hall reported by the subordinates.

After listening to Cha Jiu's refutation of Shen Qisu's words, the old lady took a deep breath.

"Yanshu, this kid, is a person who knows gratitude."

It was not in vain that the Hou Mansion had fine clothes and food, and they were raised in a thousand good ways.

Mrs. Ninghou sat on the lower seat, frowning: "What is the use of Yanshu knowing gratitude?" I'm interested in rulers. ”

In fact, when she adopted the two sisters, Mrs. Ninghou really didn't have any other thoughts.

However, when the two were ten years old, it happened that a god operator came to the Hou Mansion, asserting that Shen Qisu was a rare pregnancy in a hundred years and could give birth to an heir for Changting.

Since then, Mrs. Ninghou has identified Shen Qisu as her future daughter-in-law.

It is also the only hope for the continuation of the Hou family.

The old lady sighed lightly: "We are a Qingliu family, no matter how much you fancy the ruler, you can't do that kind of forced marriage." Otherwise, I made up a pair of resentful couples, not to mention, and defiled the lintel of the Hou Mansion for no reason. ”

Mrs. Ninghou was a little ashamed: "Mother said yes. ”

The old lady continued: "Changting is already twenty-seven, and if the marriage drags on any longer, it will become a laughing stock, and I advise you not to set your sights on one person." Since Yanshu is interested in Changting, and the person is also carefully raised by the Hou Mansion, it is better to consider her. ”

Mrs. Ning Hou hesitated: "Yanshu, this kid is always quiet and wooden on weekdays, and he is not as likable as a ruler. And ......"

"Moreover, her appearance is so beautiful and outstanding, I am afraid that she will be uneasy in the room in the future and make jokes about Changting."

Although Shen Yanshu and Shen Qisu are twin sisters, their appearance is very different.

Shen Qisu's appearance is biased towards the small jasper, with weak facial features and elegant looks, but there is nothing special about it.

Shen Yanshu's appearance is stunning, and he prefers the bright and flamboyant one.

A pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes suddenly smiled, and all the men in the world were hooked.

Hou Ye's favorite concubine Zou Niangzi was favored because of her beauty, and she also gave birth to Ning Changwen, the concubine of Houfu.

Mrs. Ninghou naturally hates these beautiful and bewitching people.

The old lady shook her head when she heard this: "You can't look at people's appearance, you have to look at your inner heart." For so many years, you have selected those women who are not good-looking for Changting among the nobles in the capital, they are ordinary, but which one abandons secular prejudice and does not look down on Changting? ”

Mrs. Ning Hou still hesitated: "Let's take another look." ”

The old lady didn't force her, but said: "In a few days, the female teacher will come to the house to teach, and you will send someone to watch secretly, so that you can weigh the heart of the ruler and the wild goose." ”

"Yes, Mother."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they dispersed.

On the other side, Cui and Xuan.

The maid vividly described how Mrs. Ninghou was deflated in front of Shen Qisu today, and how ugly her face was.

Zou Niangzi listened while knocking melon seeds, and laughed heartily.

"It's fun, it's fun." Zou Niangzi took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and continued to tease her son Ning Changwen.

"What's the use of being a concubine? What's the use of even winning three yuan?

"Manjing's female dependents are unwilling to marry him, and they have to persecute an adopted orphan girl, which is really ugly."

Ning Changwen didn't sit down, and after reading the scroll in his hand for a while, he threw it away impatiently.

"What kind of sage classics are these, I have a headache when I see them, so I don't look at them."

Zou Niangzi got up and rubbed his head against him, and said comfortingly: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, and if you don't take the fame test, when Ning Changting is thirty years old and has no children, Hou Ye will naturally give you the position of the son of this world." ”

Ning Changwen also had this idea.

Although he is not good at reading, he has been taking the exam for seven or eight years, and he has not even passed the township exam.

But he has a lot of children.

The children born to his wife and concubine over the years add up to a total of six daughters and one son.

On this, he is much more competitive than Ning Changting.

However, Zou Niangzi is still a little worried.

"I heard that Shen Qisu is a rare life that is easy to conceive, she is unwilling now, but what if she agrees in the future? Wouldn't the long house have a chance to give birth to a child and become a knight? ”

Ning Changwen sneered: "Isn't it easy to solve this matter? ”
