After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 78
The fresh and elegant fragrance lingers around the nose, and the lingering heat lingers in the ears and neck.

Ning Yu hooked Yan Shi's neck, and her red lips opened and closed slightly.

She smiled lowly and said softly: "The residual poison seems to have flared up again, don't let it be like last night..." Grit your teeth!
Yan Shi's mind went numb as the voice of feigned anger reached his ears.

Last night, he was afraid that she would be annoyed when she woke up and would blame him for being abrupt, so he pressed his lips tightly to prevent her from doing nonsense. He thought she was in a state of confusion and didn't know, but she did.

"Last night I was—"

Yan Shi hurriedly explained subconsciously, but Ning Yu had already wiped his cheeks to the corner of his mouth, and interrupted him the moment he spoke: "Quiet!"

Shrouded in silvery white light, it casts a layer of soft light on the people hugging and kissing on the roof...

"Why do you look like a little daughter-in-law? Now it's like this. What about the wedding night in the bridal chamber?" Ning Yu's bright eyes were kind, and she smiled sweetly. She held Yan Shi's hot face, not allowing him to avoid her gaze.

Yan Shi wanted to say "You are too bold", but dared not.

I'm afraid that if I say it, Ning Yu will not kiss him in the future.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that he was too shy to utter a word, Ning Yu kindly let him go, quickly kissed him on the lips, and said with some seriousness: "Let's ask you, I treat you like this, do you like it?"

Yan Shi's ears became even hotter, but he still replied honestly, "Yes."

Ning Yu said again: "Just now... how do you feel?"

Yan Shi felt as if she was naked in public, and she felt an inexplicable sense of "shame" when she asked her, and she was ashamed to speak, but she was extremely happy in her heart, and couldn't help but think——

Is it true that all women in the world are like this in front of their lovers, or is she the only one who is extra bold?
Throat rolled twice, even though he tried his best to suppress his shame, Yan Shi still couldn't speak, and couldn't even nod, it was too shameful.

Ning Yu said reluctantly: "If you don't say it, you just don't feel it! So... you are coaxing me by saying you like it?"

After speaking, he withdrew his hands, his smile faded, and his face showed displeasure.

Yan Shi hurriedly held her hand, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, his eyes were flushed, and he murmured after a long while: "I seem to be a little lost..."

"Huh?" Ning Yu was shocked!
Is this not enough?
"No, no, I'm not—"

Realizing what he said, Yan Shi frantically denied it, but Ning Yu didn't give him a chance to refute, leaned forward and blocked all the rest of the words.

After a while, Ning Yu held his face again, "Then, are you satisfied this time?"

Relying on the memory of the slightly swollen and sore lips, Yan Shi quickly recollected it, looked away embarrassedly, and muffled "um".

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Ning Yu would have hardly imagined that there are men who are so shy. Fortunately, she has a thick skin. Otherwise, she might really have to "respect each other like a guest" for the rest of her life, which would be so boring.

Ning Yu said: "Since I am satisfied, I will ask you to do two favors, and you are not allowed to refuse."

Yan Shi naturally wouldn't refuse, even if it didn't happen, he wouldn't refuse, he persisted and said seriously: "As long as it's not a divorce, I will agree."

Ning Yu was amused by his solemn and serious appearance, and couldn't help but pecked the corner of his lips lightly, and said: "Lend me a few cooks, and I want to rent a Zhuangzi, the land needs to be large."

After making the request, Yan Shi also agreed, and Ning Yu stretched, "It's time to go back to study, take me down."

"Wait a minute, I have something for you." Yan Shi grabbed Ning Yu's wrist, followed her to stand up, and shouted into the air, "Come out."

"master!"

Looking at the woman in black kneeling on one knee, Ning Yu was astonished. She didn't even see where this person came from, as if she appeared out of thin air.

Yan Shi said: "From now on, she will follow you, remember to take her with you wherever you go."

After what happened last night, Ning Yu had long wondered where to get a female guard with strong martial arts skills. Now that he is sending it to her husband in the future, there is no reason to refuse. Besides, although Xu Zhuang can fight, he is a man after all, so it is inconvenient. She has a family, and it is not easy to follow her to the post in the future.

Ning Yu looked at the woman in black, "What's your name?"

"Baitang."

"Did you see what happened just now?" Ning Yu was referring to the intimate scene between the two.

"Yes!"

Ning Yu choked, cheeky and couldn't hold back anymore secretly feverish.

When she glanced at Yan Yan reproachfully, she said to Baitang: "I don't like being watched by others, you should kill yourself."

Hearing this, Baitang "swiped" out the soft sword at his waist, and wiped it towards his neck without hesitation. If Yan Shi hadn't struck the sword off, she would have been dead on the spot.

Seeing that Baitang didn't hesitate at all, and that his expression didn't change and he didn't show any fear in the face of life and death, Ning Yu was quite satisfied.

……

When Zhiman saw Baitang, for some reason, he suddenly thought of her family's ruthless eldest son.

One morning, all the servants of the whole family were called to the front yard, and there were dozens of shopkeepers, not to mention the number of apprentices. He and six apprentices were killed on the spot.

She was only 12 years old at that time, and she had nightmares every day for a long time.

The eyes of the person behind the lady are as indifferent as the eldest son at that time.

Zhiman shook his head, trotted over, and looked at Baitang: "Miss, who is she?"

Zhiyi, who was burning incense, turned her head and saw Baitang, who was as cold as a block of ice, holding a scabbard in his arms, following Ning Yu into the house, with a serious expression on his face.

Ning Yu walked to the imperial concubine's couch and sat down, pushed away the teacup Zhiyi handed over, "I'm not thirsty."

Zhiyi waited aside with a teacup, looking at the three to four inch long scar on Baitang's left forehead, thinking how much he had suffered, even his face was covered with scars.

"Her name is Baitang, she is my guard, and she is just like you and Zhiman to the outside world, a personal servant girl." Ning Yu looked at Zhiyi: "Go back and make some strong clothes for her—" Said and looked at Bai Tang, "It doesn't have to be black."

He was already fierce enough, but he was all black, which was terrifying.

Knowingly asked: "Do you want to show it to the second lady?"

In Nanli, the eldest lady is in charge of the general affairs of the mansion. When the eldest lady is away, the second lady takes care of the big and small affairs in the Wangjing mansion. Ding He, who enters the mansion, should let the second lady register.

Ning Yu said: "No need."

Zhimanti came with brown hemp shoes without a heel, similar to modern cloth slippers.

"I borrowed four cooks from the palace, and I will come over early tomorrow morning and tell my second aunt." Ning Yu kicked off her thick diamond-patterned shoes and put on light brown hemp shoes.

"Great!" Zhiman looked very excited, "The two ladies are worrying about tomorrow's family dinner."

Tomorrow when Xu Ningcheng came back from Dongdaying, he invited the second wife's natal family and the third wife's natal family to get together with relatives in Wangjing to formally let Xu Siyuan recognize his ancestors. But there are several big dishes, but no one can do them well. It would be great to have a cook from the palace.

……

Guozijian, before class.

Fang Hanzhang took the seat in front of Shi Zhaoyun, and signaled Shi Zhaoyun's book boy to stay away.

The book boy quickly arranged the books, pens and ink, and exited the room.

Chao Shi Zhaoyun raised his eyebrows, and Fang Hanzhang said mysteriously: "Who do you think Prince An's prospective concubine is?"

Shi Zhaoyun has always been reluctant to spend too much energy on irrelevant matters.

He opened the scroll and said without interest: "Who is Prince An and Princess An, and what does it have to do with me."

Fang Hanzhang snorted softly, his expression couldn't tell whether it was joking or gloating, he said: "Now you look like a saint and famous official, wait for me to say the name of the prospective princess if you have the ability, don't worry about getting angry."

Seeing that Shi Zhaoyun's expression was still calm, Fang Hanzhang had a bit of a bad taste: "Xu Ningyu."

Shi Zhaoyun paused, "Who are you talking about?"

"Can't you sit still?" Fang Hanzhang leaned back and said proudly, "I knew that Mr. Shi, with his eyes above his head, was in love."

"Where did you hear that?" Shi Zhaoyun's face darkened.

Leaning on the book table with his back waist, Fang Hanzhang said: "The decree of the marriage was read out yesterday, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is allowed to enter the gate of Xu's mansion today."

"Impossible!" Shi Zhaoyun said firmly.

Everyone knows that after the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Empress and Empress gave half a month to the sons and daughters of each family to look at each other and choose each other, and half a month later the imperial edict of bestowing marriage on the crown prince and Prince An will be issued.

Shi Zhaoyun didn't quite believe the other party's words.

"Don't believe it."

Fang Hanzhang leaned back to Shi Zhaoyun's desk.

"Do you know why the girl from the Xu family appeared at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Fang Hanzhang asked himself and answered, "The empress said that their elder brother, General Dingyuan Xu Ningcheng, had meritorious service in capturing the king of Dongjiang, but you see, besides the girl from the Xu family, there is a second family from five." The female relatives of a high-ranking general participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

Above the third rank, military officers have more power than civilian officials.

Below the third rank, civil officials are better than military officials.

A general from the fifth grade Dingyuan, in Wangjing where celebrities are everywhere, really can't be ranked.

"Prince An, in order to marry Miss Xu Qi, he even took out the iron certificate of the Danshu. The iron certificate of the Danshu was offered, and Miss Xu Qi was not bad. Naturally, His Majesty and Empress could not refuse. Not only that, from half a month ago, looking forward to It has been rumored in the capital since the beginning that Prince An and Miss Xu's family made a marriage contract four years ago, and they all say..."

At this point, Fang Hanzhang paused, looked around, lowered his voice, and continued word by word: "It's a private decision for life!"

"We stayed in the academy all day, that's why we didn't know. Yesterday I didn't have class and I went out for a walk. There are rumors about Prince An and Miss Xu Qi all over the city."

Fang Hanzhang leaned back and leaned back on his desk.

Shi Zhaoyun's eyes were deep.

No wonder!
When such a thing happened, there was no news in the palace at all, presumably only His Majesty's family could hide the truth for Miss Xu Qi.

Shi Zhaoyun clenched his fists, knowing that what Fang Hanzhang said was true.

……

Office of the Ministry of Officials.

"Father!" Shi Zhuangxian's phoenix eyes were full of tears, and she was charming, "You clearly know that your daughter treats the prince—"

How could her father let her marry the prince!
How can you be willing to marry someone else when your heart belongs to you?
Shi Zheyu was indifferent, and said sharply:
"The crown prince is the crown prince, and the future master of Beiyan. As far as the historians are concerned, how can the crown prince choose a concubine from the sidelines? You are the eldest daughter of the Shi family. It is your responsibility to marry the crown prince and do your best for the Shi family. of glory.

"It's fine if you can be elected as the princess, but you don't live up to it."

Shi Zhuangxian said unwillingly: "My lord is not married yet, my daughter still has a chance."

"Opportunity! What opportunity?" Thinking of the letter sent back by his son, Shi Zheyu said coldly: "Give your brother medicine again, kill two birds with one stone? Stupid! Brother Yun is the son of the Langya Shi family, so let it be if nothing happens to him, if it really lets you succeed , at this moment you have gone to see your mother."

Shi Zheyu trembled with anger when he thought that his promising son was almost destroyed in the hands of this rebellious woman.

If she hadn't had an outstanding face, and the position of Crown Princess was still pending, how could she be allowed to stand here properly.

"Clean up and follow me into the palace."

Shi Zheyu left with a flick of his sleeves.

Shi Zhuangxian bit her lips tightly, hatred welling up, her eyes were red.

Her good father, for his own future, for the sake of gaining a firm foothold in Langya Shi Clan, personally poisoned his wife who was in love with him, and threatened his daughter to become a thief as a mother, and now he wants her again, for Shi Clan and Shi Zheyu , Sacrificing himself for that bastard Shi Zhaoyun.

Why?
Why!
……

It's been ten years since my grandson came home for the first time, and Zhang Wushi took his wife, children, and children to Xu's house to help before dawn.

Not long after, Butcher Zhao arrived with his second grandson.

As soon as Zhao Xiu came, it was just in time for Xu Linpeng to go out for a horse race, so he took the horse from the stable and went out of the city together, and didn't come back until breakfast.

The old lady had been looking forward to it all morning, and Xu Ningcheng finally arrived home around noon.

"Grandmother! Unfilial grandson!" Xu Ningcheng knelt in front of the old lady with tears in his eyes, surrounded by his wife and children.

The old lady wept with joy, she threw away her crutches, and stretched out her hand to hold Xu Ningcheng's arm, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back... It's my grandmother's fault, who is my grandson—why did you get lost and blinded and ruthlessly drive you out?" What about it? Brother Cheng, can you forgive grandma?"

"Grandson has never blamed grandmother, never blamed parents! Grandmother!" Xu Ningcheng hugged the old lady and cried.

The second lady pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and cried and laughed while leaning against the second master's arms.

"It's a happy day, don't cry," the third lady came out to reconcile, "Today is a good day for our Xu family, we should be happy."

The third lady tried a few more words of persuasion, and the old lady burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes...don't cry, don't cry." The old lady wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and led Xu Ningcheng to look at the Zhang family's grandfather and his wife, "Hurry up and meet your grandfather and grandmother."

The grandma of the Zhang family was more sad than Mrs. Xu. Fortunately, a bunch of sons and daughters-in-law persuaded her, so she didn't cry for long.

The grandpa of the Zhang family looked down on the crying mother-in-law the most. Even though he felt a lot of feelings in his heart, he looked indifferent on the face, and waved his hands to tell his grandson to meet his parents as soon as possible.

Before Xu Ningcheng could speak, the second wife hugged her son first, crying loudly.

"In 11 years and 48 days, my son has finally returned home, and he is not allowed to leave his mother again!"

"My son is unfilial, causing my parents to suffer." Xu Ningcheng's tears that had just stopped poured out again.

"Father..." Xu Siyuan tugged at Xu Ningcheng's sleeve.

Xu Ningcheng embraced his wife and children, together with the second master, the family of five hugged each other and cried for a long time.

However, as soon as she stopped crying, the second wife glanced at the three girls standing aside with disgusted expressions. The girls who felt neglected couldn't move Xu Linpeng, so they could only drag the eighth and the ninth over, and hugged a son forcefully. The two daughters cried again.

Seeing this, Xu Linpeng rolled his eyes.

Seeing Zhang's grandpa and Zhao's grandpa leaving the front hall, she dragged Ning Yu and Liu Xin to her back to her small courtyard, and only came out after dinner.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Linpeng said: "I asked Yan'er this morning, it turns out that Shi Zhuangxian loves Prince An."
