Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 56 Marriage
Ning Xiuyuan has never considered whether it is deceiving the emperor if he does not report the knowledge, and even the word "deceive the emperor" is not in his dictionary.

He walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and walked all the way through the back garden of Ning Mansion, which occupies a large area but obviously has not bothered to take care of it. There are only a few towering ancient trees planted. He stood under the tree with his back facing the sky for a while, when he heard footsteps behind him, he said, "You have been in a good mood recently, and you will come to the back garden again."

No one in Ning's family likes to take care of these flowers and plants, and few people come here on weekdays, and the old man is even too lazy to take a look. These ancient trees were brought back by Ning Xiuren.

Said it was a town house.

Although Ning Xiuyuan always felt that the real housekeeper of the Ning family was his second elder brother, who was ruthless and decisive.

"I heard that you're looking for a girl." The old man stood beside him with his hands behind his back, and looked over with his head tilted, his eyes were slightly narrowed, but he was more probing, "I've never seen you care so much about a girl... "

Ning Xiuyuan lowered his head and smiled, "It's not what you think."

"What are we thinking?"

Ning Xiuyuan choked, met the other party's probing gaze, shook his head helplessly, smiled wryly, and said nothing.

Ning Guogong withdrew his gaze, stood side by side with his son, looked in the same direction, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded a little, but he was a little bit melancholy, "Your mother is a little bewildered, but if you have any troubles, you will feel that you are a girl. Thoughtful, although I am not that optimistic, I have some expectations."

Ning Xiuyuan straightened his sleeves with his head down, fiddled with the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist, and patiently explained, "That's really not the case."

"I know. I don't know you... I came here today just to tell you that she is the girl that the old lady of the Bai family likes. You care about her thin face when you do things..."

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, and only said in a low voice, okay.

"The family of the four generations in the early years... After all, they are getting farther and farther. Shangguan hides, and I don't like the old man's private behavior of the Lu family, so the Bai family..." The old man couldn't continue with a wry smile. , Shaking his head, turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly remembered something, let out a cheerful voice, "Speaking of which, you and that girl were almost married by fingertips."

Ning Xiuyuan walked back with the old man's arm, and asked absent-mindedly, "Who?"

"The poor child of the Shangguan family... You probably have heard that Ah Xian and the boy from the Shangguan family did not deal with each other. He urged his father to come to marry him, but he still said it to his own child. At that time, he was talking about marriage, so he planned to make Ah Yin a generation later... Haha."

Ning Xiuyuan paused slightly, "You still agreed?"

"Ahem." Ning Guogong looked embarrassed, "It's just a verbal agreement... Ah Xian has been arguing about this matter for a long time, and later, Shangguan's family moved out... The matter is over. "

Ning Xiuyuan lowered his head, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he was gentle and humble, "It's because of this reason that you haven't been sleeping well lately?"

Ning Guogong glanced back at him, raised his eyebrows, seemed a little surprised that Yaoer cared about him, sighed, and didn't hide it, "It's always a bit embarrassing. If I wrote a letter earlier and mentioned this in-law If you suggest that the child marry into our family, things will not be like this..."

"Marriage is a trifling matter." Ning Xiuyuan comforted him, "Furthermore, your son and I are not the ones you can propose to marry, can you? So, you don't need to worry too much about these matters. Think about it, think about it too much, even your mother will follow you to worry, if she is worried, she will put a portrait of the girl on me..."

"You should worry about yourself too. Last time your mother woke up in the middle of the night and sighed for a long time, thinking about what to do if you don't like the girl. After thinking about it, she figured it out again... I think it's okay for you to marry a man and come back." It's not impossible..."

Ning Xiuyuan choked, and for the first time since he learned to walk, his left foot stumbled over his right foot, he staggered, biting his back teeth and twitching his temples, and said with a fake smile, "Stop her."

Ning Guogong didn't even think about it, and refused directly, "I can't stop it."

Stopping at the fork in the road, Ning Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and reminded him, "My daughter-in-law takes care of herself, you said this is the rule of our family."

Ning Guogong withdrew his held hand, put his back behind his back, turned and left, "I can't help it." He didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Ning Xiuyuan stood where he was, pressed his temples, pressed and pressed, looked at the direction the old man was leaving, and slowly put down his hand, the corners of his mouth gradually curled into a dangerous arc, Shangguan... Ning.

Really a good name.

……

"Miss Ji."

"Miss Ji! Here!"

Ji Wuyan never thought of meeting Bai Xing on the street, and even if she did, she would probably just pass by, nodding at most to say hello.But Bai Xing was upstairs waving his arms in a big way to say hello, which immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street. Fortunately, this was also the place where Lily made an appointment to meet her.

So, I went upstairs to say hello before going to the appointment.

After going up, I found that there was another person. I had seen it, but I didn't know it.Bai Xing introduced, "This is the son of the Lu family, Lu Jiang." In the end, it was all about brotherhood, and he didn't introduce the authentic name.

The Lu family, one of the four families, is also one of the four families that has made a lot of achievements in terms of offspring.As for the person in front of him, Ji Wuyan has heard of it for a long time, a frequent visitor of Fengyue place, and it is only today that he associates his reputation with a specific person.

She nodded and did not curtsy, "Young Master Lu."

The other party waved his hand and smiled, "Miss Ji, I have long admired you."

There is a sharp and small canine tooth on the right side, which makes him look much younger than his actual age, with a bit of cuteness in his flair.

After greeting, he pushed over the tea that had already been poured, "It seems inappropriate to invite a girl to drink when we meet for the first time. How about replacing wine with tea today?" As he spoke, the wine glass lightly touched the teacup and raised his eyebrows.

There was a thread in his eyes.

The brows were slightly frowned, but someone made a difficult statement earlier and more directly than her.Bai Xing slapped the other party on the forehead, and scolded, "Lu Jiangjiang! Put away your tricks of seducing little girls, and don't even look at who it is. This is the girl protected by my Bai family! It's me! Bai Xing is the younger sister of the same brother and sister!"

The Bai family has only one son, Bai Xing. Since he was a child, Bai Xing envied others to have a little padded jacket that knows the cold and the hot.

After scolding Lu Jiangjiang, he turned his head and confessed to Ji Wuyan, "This kid is just so virtuous. It's not a good thing to see him walking around in the future... Miss Ji, forget it, and I'm not like Miss Ji, Miss Ji. I’ve called you, and I’ll call you No Salt, okay?”

"nature."
