Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 297

Shui Jingnian came in with a gust of cold wind, and Ning Qing woke up with a jerk.

Looking back, Shui Jingnian was covered in cold and severe wind and snow, looking at them in shock and disbelief.

"Brother Shui..." Ning Qing turned pale.

Shui Jingnian was full of anger and blood, and without even thinking about it, he grabbed Mu Fan's skirt and pulled him in front of him: "Well, you are a rascal, and you actually bullied Ning'er!"

As he said that, he threw a punch at Mu Fan, and Mu Fan didn't avoid it, and received a solid punch.

Ning Qing was shocked, and immediately came to stop Shui Jingnian: "Brother Shui, don't do this."

"Come out!" Shui Jingnian grabbed Ning Qing and dragged her out of the room.

Mu Fan sat on the ground, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

Shui Jingnian's punch just now had no technical content, not to mention him, even Xiao Song could avoid it, but Mu Fan did not.

If he avoided it, Shui Jingnian would become angry and embarrassing.

If he loves her, he will tolerate all the people and things she cherishes.

Instead of triumphantly laughing at or provoking Shui Jingnian, the former rival in love like a victor, that would be a very naive and stupid approach, and Ning Qing would feel even more uncomfortable being caught between them.

The current situation can only be explained clearly by Ning Qing and Shui Jingnian alone, instead of him standing on Ning Qing's side, constantly damaging Shui Jingnian's self-esteem and stabbing Shui Jingnian in the heart, this is his only Can give water years of face and respect.

"My lord, are you alright?" Xiao Song walked in at this moment.

"It's okay, I was just beaten by my brother-in-law." Mu Fan stood up and flicked the clothes on his body. "Which brother-in-law wouldn't take a punch from my brother-in-law."

Hui Ping outside the door twitched the corners of her mouth, and then her face froze, her eyes rolled away, not daring to look at Mu Fan.

She tried her best not to think about it, but once people have such thoughts, it is difficult to stop them.

Ping Hui felt that Mu Fan's way of handling things and his manner of dealing with people were very similar to Song Zhuo!

Hui Ping quickly shook her head, she must be thinking too much!Definitely thinking too much!This Mu Fan is just too similar to Shi Zi's personality and behavior style.

In the garden, the snow was falling more and more heavily, but Ning Qing was wearing very thin clothes. She trembled and couldn't help crossing her arms.

Seeing this, Shui Jingnian realized that she was wearing less clothes, and looked at her with peach blossom eyes full of regret, and hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped it around her body.She said softly, "Is it cold? Sorry, let's go inside."

"It's not cold, thank you." Ning Qing shook her head, she looked at Shui Jingnian: "Brother Shui, I... I'm getting married."

"Married?" Shui Jingnian laughed back in anger, "With whom? Mu Fan? Are you crazy?"

"I... I'm not crazy, I like him, and I want to marry him." Ning Qing raised her head, her big watery eyes seemed to be composed of stars and broken moons. firm.

The look in her eyes made his heart ache.

"I think you're crazy!" Shui Jingnian yelled, "Do you know who he is? Mu Fan?! Even the name seems to be made out of nowhere! Do you know his last name? Do you know his ancestral home? Where, do you know what his parents' names are?"

"Brother Shui!" Ning Qing almost screamed, tears kept falling down: "His name is Mu Fan! Just Mu Fan! It's just a simple name, how can it be fake! No one has any secrets ?Like the two of us, in this world, who knows that we have come through time? I haven’t confessed to him myself, so why should he tell the past? Who doesn’t have the pain of the past? He doesn’t want to talk about his past, Just like I don't want to talk about my past, no one wants to expose their scars to the world! I married him, and I want to be with him for the rest of my life, but I still plan to bury my life experience and that old relationship deeply In the end, I will never say it. He won't care about my past! And I won't care about his past either!"

As if struck by lightning, Shui Jingnian was almost vomited blood by this girl, and laughed loudly: "I see you are not only crazy! You are simply crazy! If I say no to him, you will automatically make up for him. Desperately defending, to put it bluntly, you are a second-year middle schooler!"

"You're the second child!" Ning Qing glared at him.

Ning Qing turned to leave, Shui Jingnian quickly grabbed her shoulder: "Okay, now we're not discussing who has a second brain!"

Shui Jingnian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and tried his best to understand and reason: "Your marriage problem does not have to be a real marriage! That Mu Fan, his injury has healed, right? Let him leave after the New Year. Let’s say that their family went back to their hometown to visit their relatives, and they met robbers on the road and died. You just died of your fiancé, and you can delay it for a year or two, which is enough time to think of other solutions.”

"Brother Shui, I really want to marry him." Ning Qing raised her head and looked at him: "It's not a stopgap measure."

Shui Jingnian felt as if his whole heart had sunk into icy water, and his whole body was cold.He thought of the kiss he met just now, they kissed so tenderly and earnestly, they must be deeply in love with each other!

"Ning'er—"

"Brother Shui!" Ning Qing interrupted him. She looked at him, her eyes were as bright as sinking stars. As an adult, I have the right to choose and control my own life."

Shui Jingnian froze in place.She has made it very clear that she likes that Mu Fan!not him!Her life is hers, her marriage is also hers, he has no right to interfere!

Shui Jingnian was so sad that he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry in such a shameful way.

After a long time, he said: "I just want to know, what happened during the two months I left? Is it because he jumped off the cliff and saved your life?"

Ning Qing closed her eyes deeply: "Before that."

Shui Jingnian was shaken both physically and mentally, as if all the strength in his body had been taken away.

She took off the cloak he put on her, put it on him again, tied him carefully, and then turned and left: "I'm sorry...and, bless me!"

He raised his head in a daze, his long eyelashes were wet with snow, like a layer of silver frost, exuding a gorgeous and icy luster.

He watched the fine snow fall on her body one after another, watched the corners of her skirt flying, her petite body walked up the snow-white steps, a slender and gorgeous figure looming behind the dark pillars in the corridor, shaking off a cloak, Cover her body, then pull her into the darkness, and hug her away.

He couldn't see who it was, but he knew who it was.

The cloak on his body still had her warmth left, but under the wind and snow, it slowly cooled down and became colder. He clasped it tightly with his hands, but she couldn't hold on to her warmth anymore!

He closed his eyes deeply, and stood there for a long, long time, covered in white snow.

"Master..." Pingxing couldn't look any further, and walked over with red eyes.

But Shui Jingnian flicked his sleeves and strode out the door, got on his horse, flicked his whip and galloped away.

"My lord!" Ping Xing, Shou Yi and the others were in a hurry and chased after him.

Standing by the window, Ning Qing saw Shui Jingnian leaving before turning back to her room.

It's not that she wants to hurt him, but that if he doesn't hurt him once, he won't be able to see clearly.

……

Shui Jingnian rode a horse and galloped down the street.

When the time just arrived at Zishi, the people who were watching the old age hung firecrackers on the gates, lit them, and then bursts of crackling firecrackers sounded from the street to the end of the street, and the street was filled with the smell of fireworks.

Amidst the noisy and festive sounds around, Shui Jingnian finally couldn't help howling "Ah".

Shui Jingnian flicked his horsewhip like crazy, left the city, and reached the uninhabited suburbs.Due to the slippery snow, the front foot of the mount bent, Shui Jingnian was thrown off the horse, and his body rolled in the snow.

"My lord!"

Pingxing, Shouyi and the others were shocked, they hurriedly stopped their horses, jumped off the horses, crawled to Shui Jingnian's side, and helped Shui Jingnian up.

"My lord, are you alright?" Kari asked anxiously.

However, before Kariichi could react, a sharp sword had already stabbed at him.Shocked, he quickly drew his sword to block it.Looking up, he saw Shui Jingnian attacking him with blood-red eyes and painful face.

Kari had no choice but to fight with Shui Jingnian.

"How am I not as good as him? How am I not as good as him!" Shui Jingnian shouted while making moves.

Ping Xing was so sad that he wiped away his tears. In their minds, everything would be good after a year!It goes without saying that she has a stunning appearance, and her status is noble. You need status to have status, and you need status to have status!Although he makes mistakes occasionally, his heart is like a mirror.The most important thing is that he holds the technology of making musket ammunition, and it is no problem to destroy a country.

Such an excellent and outstanding man, why not choose him, but choose a wild man!
The reason for this is only known by the princess himself!

Shui Jingnian seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and he kept feeding moves. Kariichi was suppressed by his madness and panted, and when he was tired, he replaced Kariji.

It wasn't until the weather was getting brighter that Shui Jingnian's hand holding the sword was released, and the sword fell to the ground. His hand was already trembling from exhaustion. He took a deep breath and lay on his back on the snow.

Wiping his face, it was full of tears.He put his arm over his eyes and couldn't help crying.

He is unwilling!Very unwilling!

He only went out for a short two months, and when he came back, he was already a different person!He guarded against Shui Jingdong, Su Feng, and even the man who was far away in Tiansheng. He never expected that the delicate flowers he carefully guarded and cultivated were given by a passer-by whom he never paid attention to. Picked up!
How can you be willing, how can you not hate!

"Master, it's cold, please get up!" Ping Xing sniffled.

One night in the snow, not only the water has passed through the years, but even Ping Xingshou and others are soaked.

"Master, let's find a change of clothes!" Ping Xing said. "To Joe Town outside the city."

This place is close to the city gate. If you go to Qiao Town, it will be faster, but if you go back to the inner city, it will be later.

Shui Jingnian was pulled up by Shouyi and Shouer, put him on the horse, and headed towards Qiao Town with a flick of the whip.

After changing clothes in an inn, he was ready to return to Beijing.After leaving the gate of the inn, I suddenly saw a young man walking into an inn opposite.

Shui Jingnian frowned: "The man just now has a nice face."

"Master, this servant knows." Ping Xing came up to sell it: "Isn't the person who went in just now the personal guard beside Song Zhuo, the prince of Tianshengchen?"

Shui Jingnian's beautiful face sank: "It's him?"

Shui Jingnian suddenly remembered Song Zhuo's movements. He had inquired before, and heard that Song Zhuo's son's title had been withdrawn, and he also heard that his wife had made a big mistake and failed to get married.Later, it was rumored that he was seriously ill and stayed behind closed doors. Some people also said that he went to Qizhou or traveled abroad.

The last time I inquired about Song Zhuo was a year ago.Because Tianshui and Tiansheng were far away, he focused on studying his guns and ammunition. Seeing that Song Zhuo hadn't moved, he didn't pay any more attention.

Now seeing Song Zhuo's personal guard suddenly, Shui Jingnian's heart sank: "Did Song Zhuo also come to Zhanjing?"

"Master. According to news, since three years ago, Song Zhuo's personal guards have not been seen together with his master. It seems that it is more accurate to say that Song Zhuo traveled abroad." Shou said.

"My lord, this servant feels that Song Zhuo's guards are in a hurry, as if they are on their way or looking for someone." Ping Xing said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Master, do you still remember that we went to Wuyun City together years ago?" Ping Xing said, "The servant sat outside and saw a group of 20 of them desperately rushing to Wuyun City."

"Cloudless City?" Shui Jingnian thought for a while, "Shou Er, go find out when these people came to Qiao Town."

"Yes."

Shou Er responded and went to inquire.

Shui Jingnian went back to the inn to sit, not in a hurry to go back, and ordered food.

After a while, Shou Er came back: "According to the innkeeper, these 20 people stayed here more than a month ago. They claimed to be in the escort business and were waiting for goods from a certain owner. It is said that the first Coming from the direction of Zhanjing."

"Zhan Jing? What do they want?" Shui Jingnian immediately thought of Ning Qing.Ning Qing was involved with Song Zhuo before, and these were Song Zhuo's subordinates.

"The shopkeeper of that inn said that those people only ate and drank normally, and did nothing else, but they looked like they were really waiting for someone." Said Kari.

Shui Jingnian thought for a while: "Let's go back to Beijing first."

There are no more clues here.Shui Jingnian didn't know what these people wanted to do, but he had to remind Ning Qing.

Shui Jingnian, Ping Xing and others immediately rode to Beijing.

……

Ning Qing was shopping with Princess Jiarou. From a distance, she saw a group of beggars surrounded by Wenhua Street.

"Someone is giving out porridge." Ning Qing said.

Ning Qing has been here for three years, and after three New Years, she noticed that every day from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, there would be people giving porridge.

Before, she hadn't paid attention to which one it belonged to, but Mother Liu suddenly said, "It's Kang Dingbo's mansion!"

"Isn't this Miss Ji Er's in-law's house?" Chun Juan asked.

Ning Qing thought that this was originally Ji Fang'er's in-law's house, but now it's Ji Yan'er's, and Ji Fang'er tried her best to jump out!I couldn't help but wear tinted glasses to see this Kangdingbo Mansion. "They donate porridge every year? Mrs. Kang Dingbo is so kind!"

"It's not like that." Grandma Liu smiled: "It's been eleven or twelve years since I gave the porridge, but it's not Mrs. Kang Dingbo, but her eldest daughter-in-law Liu's——Liu Xunxue. What a surname! Ever since she married into Kangding Bo’s mansion, she has given away porridge every year with her own body. Not a single pulse was left. Even so, I heard that the in-laws still dote on her and treat her like a daughter."

Ning Qing couldn't help but glanced at the porridge place, and saw Wei Shi was spooning porridge for a beggar, besides her, there was also a woman in plain clothes.The woman wore a white jade hairpin on her head, her hair was black and thick, making her small face as white as jade.

This Liu Xunxue looks elegant and refined, as elegant as smoke, and looks absolutely beautiful.She seems to have a fairy spirit in her whole body. She is dressed in white, like snow and clouds, which makes her not stained with dust, like a fairy in the sky.

According to Grandma Liu, it has been 28 or [-] years since she gave away porridge, that is, [-] or [-] years since she married into Kangdingbo's mansion. She should be about [-] years old, but she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl. It's so good, it's rare to see him living a nourishing life.

"Since we are relatives, let's go say hello." Princess Jiarou laughed. "There are too many people, I didn't see Yan'er."

Princess Jiarou's relationship with Ji Yan'er has always been like that. Madam Liu found that since Ji Fang'er and Ji Yan'er changed marriage, Princess Jiarou's relationship with Ji Fang'er has become a lot colder. Come.

Ning Qing and Princess Jiarou approached immediately, unexpectedly only seeing Wei Shi and Liu Xunxue, but not Ji Yan'er.

"Ma'am, Sister Liu." Princess Jiarou stepped forward with a smile.

When Wei Shi and Liu Xunxue saw it, they immediately saluted: "Isn't this Princess Jiarou and Princess Ning? This concubine has seen the two princesses before!"

Liu Xunxue is a widow, she has no chance to enter the palace, and she rarely goes out. The first time she saw Ning Qing, she was taken aback.

Liu Xunxue has always been proud of her stunning looks.More than ten years ago, when she was unmarried, she was known as Zhanjing's number one beauty.Later, she became a widow, and the opportunities to go out to socialize were greatly reduced, and as she got older, the title of Zhanjing's number one beauty could only be given to Xian.

Later, when he arrived at the leader of Lingsu County, he was snatched away by Shui Jingnian. Now, I'm afraid it's going to be this one!

I saw Ning Qing's appearance was pure and gorgeous, her majestic figure was beautiful, her big watery eyes looked around, shimmering in waves, clear and clear, instantly touching people's hearts and souls.Let alone her now, even when she was young, she was at least two grades behind Ning Qing!

"Why don't you see Yan'er?" Princess Jiarou asked.

"Brother Yan'er, she... oh, she has something to do, so she didn't come." Liu Xunxue seemed to hesitate for a moment, then smiled.

Princess Jiarou's face was slightly stiff, and Ning Qing's heart sank.

No matter who started the porridge, now both Wei and Liu Xunxue are female relatives of Kangdingbo Mansion.There are only three hostesses in Kang Ding Bo's mansion, and two of them are giving out porridge, but this new bride-in-law didn't come!

What would the common people think of Ji Yan'er?

The poor people who were eating porridge had doubts at first, and they secretly did not like the second young lady of Kangdingbo Mansion. When Princess Jiarou asked, everyone affirmed this idea.

"She is copying Buddhist scriptures." Liu Xunxue said suddenly, as if explaining.

But Buddhist scriptures cannot be eaten!Poor people only think about what is in their bowls!Because both Liu Xunxue and Wei Shi said that they were using their own body, and Ji Yan'er didn't come, but without that body, they would eat less.Can't help but get bored!
Therefore, they felt that the two hostesses of Kang Ding Bo's mansion gave themselves out to give, but Ji Yan'er was stingy and reluctant, so she didn't come!
Princess Jiarou also thought of this level, and her face was a little bad.

Ning Qing looked at Princess Jiarou with a smile: "Sister Rou, is your Yan'er disobedient?"

"How come, my second sister is the most well-behaved of the three sisters." Princess Jiarou said.

"That's right." Ning Qing nodded, looked at Wei Shi again, and said with a smile: "Madam must have asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the common people, right?"

Some people were not satisfied for a while, but some smart ones reacted immediately!
"I heard that the second girl from the Ji family is the most unfavored girl in the Princess Mansion, she has a flatter nature."

"Ms. Kang Dingbo's Mrs. Wei is famous for being strict and well-managed. Besides, a new daughter-in-law in the family, how dare she show off? What is a few private money? How dare mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law come out to give alms and she doesn't come out?" The reason, maybe it’s not allowed to come.”

With this said, everyone finally came to their senses!Ji Yan'er was suppressed in Kangdingbo Mansion!

Wei's nose was so angry that he turned his nose, and immediately walked away with a smile: "Actually, Yan'er was caught with a cold earlier, and she was afraid that it would infect the people. She also took out her body. The princess is so free, why doesn't she give alms .”

How to put it, they are all charitable people who do good deeds to the poor!Not as good as a person like you who is not willing to take out a copper coin!
Ning Qing smiled, her small chin slightly raised: "This princess's family is rich!"

and then?
Ning Qing said again: "Last year, the princess spent 50 taels of silver on disaster relief! Years ago, the princess took out another 10 taels of silver to repair bridges and roads!"

The people around were speechless all of a sudden.The faces of Wei Shi and Liu Xunxue were flushed, and even the porridge spoon they were holding felt hot.

The porridge they served several times a year didn't add up to 20 taels of silver!How dare you laugh at someone who donated 10 taels of silver to others!
