The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 198
Of course, Zhao Yunting didn't stay at Ning's house overnight. Before dark, he took the initiative to go to Ning Yu and say he was homesick.

The Ning family is a family of poetry and books, he can be naughty for a while, but if he knows his mistakes, he will correct them, so that his father-in-law will like him.

Ning Yu personally sent Zhao Yunting back to Yanping Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Zeng originally complained that the Ning family's carriage hit her only son, but Zhao Yunting repeatedly admitted that it was his own playfulness that caused the accident, and kept saying that Ning Yu and his wife had treated him well. Mrs. Zeng soon became grateful.After all, she wasn't completely unreasonable, she was unavoidably angry when she learned that her son was injured, and after she calmed down, Zhao Yunting reminded her vaguely that the next day, Mrs. Zeng took her son to Ning's house with a gift to thank her.

At this time, Yanping Hou Kong had a title but no official position, and the Hou Mansion had declined. The Ning family’s family of poems and books, but the old man was an upright official in the Imperial Academy, and Ning Yu was just a small official. It's a little better for the mansion to bear the title.It is rare for Mrs. Zeng to meet someone whose family background is not as good as her own, so she is happy to walk around with Mrs. Ning Er and occasionally gossip about other people's families.Mrs. Ning Er is broad-minded. After getting along with her for a while, she found that Zeng has no other major problems except being a little narrow-minded. In addition, Marquis Yanping dotes on her concubine Zeng. Shi.

After coming and going, the relationship between the two is not bad.

Adults often visit, Zhao Yunting of course has the opportunity to go to Ning's house to find his wife, and he also has a reason to find Ning Jinshu to play, although playing around becomes him helping Ning Jinshu to coax his sister, Ning Jinshu Playing with Dafang's cousins ​​on the sidelines.Later, when Ning Jinshu reached the age of studying, he went to study with his uncle.This uncle of the Ning family is very knowledgeable and doesn't like to be an official. He is much better than the husband in Zhao Yunting's family. Zhao Yunting acted like a good boy a few times, so he paid his respects to the gentleman logically, and came to Ning's house almost every day.

This kind of day where I can play with my wife every day is like a dream.

Feeling relieved, time passed quickly, and Zhao Yunting grew up in a blink of an eye, becoming an 11-year-old boy.

In the Ning family school, Master Ning was giving a lecture, Zhao Yunting seemed to be listening carefully, and every time he looked down at the textbook, he would sneak a glance at the little girl next to him.

The girls of the Ning family were all studying, and Ning Lianrong and Ning Weirong from the eldest room were a little older, and they sat on the north side.In the row in the middle sat a few sons of the Ning family. Zhao Yunting was shunned by his companions because he was the best educated. He sat on the southernmost side, far away from the second daughter of Ning Lianrong. The six-year-old Ning Lanrong came here to make up for it. , and she likes to sit with Zhao Yunting, and because she is too young, no one cares about her.

"Brother Ting, don't be distracted during class." Ning Lanrong suddenly turned her head and persuaded in a low voice.

She was wearing a begonia red embroidered orchid beanie, sitting obediently in the morning light, her small face was rosy, and her big eyes were watery and beautiful.

"I know it all." Zhao Yunting raised his eyes to look at Mr. Ning, his lips moved.

"I don't believe it." Ning Lanrong had already determined that the boy was just playing for fun and didn't want to study.

Zhao Yunting smiled, turned his head deliberately and yawned, Master Ning had been paying attention to their side for a long time, seeing this, he immediately called Zhao Yunting up and asked him to explain what he just said.Ning Lanrong was extremely nervous, her uncle was the strictest, she would be hard-pressed if she didn't study well, she turned her head to look at Zhao Yunting, Zhao Yunting squeezed her hand quietly, then stood up, and answered fluently.

Master Ning stared at him twice before letting him sit down, and a few warnings were indispensable.

Zhao Yunting was taught, and after sitting down, he continued to whisper to Ning Lanrong without looking sideways: "Brother didn't lie to you, did he?"

Ning Lanrong sat upright and traced her handwriting, pouting and ignoring him.

His wife has been obedient since he was a child, Zhao Yunting stopped making trouble with her, looked at Master Ning, and began to think about other things in his mind.

He was thinking so seriously that he didn't even notice that get out of class was over, he just sat there blankly, like a log.

Ning Lanrong stared at him curiously. The young man had fair complexion and straight eyebrows, but the ends of his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if something was bothering him.Ning Lanrong saw the boy like this more than once, it was completely different from when the brothers in the family were upset, it seemed that what Zhao Yunting was worried about was something she couldn't understand.

"Brother Ting, what are you thinking?" Sister Chao Chang shook her head, signaling her to go first, Ning Lanrong asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yunting came back to his senses in an instant, glanced at the children who were leaving one after another, and smiled naturally when his eyes fell on Ning Lanrong: "I was thinking about Lan Rong's birthday, what gift should I give you."

Ning Lanrong didn't believe it, "You will fool me, that's not what you think at all."

"Then what do you think I'm thinking?" The children were gone, Zhao Yunting turned sideways, propped his chin with one hand, looked at the little girl with a smile, and resisted with the other hand so as not to touch her as he wanted.Two years ago, he could still secretly hug and kiss, but now that the little girl knows a lot, he can't scare her.

"I'm not you, how would I know." Ning Lanrong stood up and walked out angrily.

There is still class in the afternoon, so there is no need to pack things, Zhao Yunting hurried to catch up with her, "I got a set of Yongzi, do Lan Rong want it?"

Ning Lanrong stopped immediately.

She had heard from her grandfather that Yongzi was produced in Yongchang, Yunnan, and placed on a chessboard. The sunspots were as black as crow green, and when exposed to the light, they looked like clear pools of autumn water; Waxy as suet and beautiful jade, it is an excellent chess piece.

She likes playing chess, and likes the cool touch of chess pieces.

"Where did you get it?" Ning Lanrong asked curiously, "Isn't it expensive?" She can't accept gifts that are too expensive.

Zhao Yunting touched her head: "It's not expensive, my brother will bring it to you in a few days, and we two will play chess together."

It is quite expensive, but in the past three years, he has used the memories of his previous life to do some business. Behind his back, he has arranged for loyal servants to take care of it, and he has no shortage of money to spend.On the surface, he also helped his mother with some ideas. The business of the shop in the mother's dowry is getting better and better, and at least he doesn't have to envy others in terms of clothing costs.As for the old man, let him enjoy himself with the concubine, he won't need him.

After the lecture in the afternoon, Zhao Yunting returned to Yanping Hou Mansion.

As night fell, Zhao Yuan led a boy in ordinary clothes and walked in. He looked only eleven or twelve years old.

After ordering Zhao Yuan to guard the gate outside, Zhao Yunting sat on a chair and calmly stared at the little beggar named Tie Wa.

Tie Wa was clever and clever, knowing that her master was waiting for him to speak, she quickly replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard the news that the eldest lady of the Qin family will go to Long'en Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, so that General Qin can return safely and triumphantly."

Zhao Yunting nodded slightly.

When he first came back, Qin Siyong's younger sister dominated the harem, and the young child was named the prince early. The Qin family had already gained power, so he couldn't do anything at all, and he didn't want to make too much of a move.In his previous life, he quickly made a fortune from the dragon's work, and this time he still intends to do so. The only thing that needs to be changed is not to give the Qin family a chance to come to this world.Without the Qin family, the Qin family would not be eyeing him. He and Lan Rong would be on good terms. In his official career, he knew everything about the officials of the household department, and also understood King Ming's preferences. Everything would only go smoother than in his previous life.

Maybe he can also think of other ways to hide from Qin Shi and not give her a chance to see him, but he is not that kind. Instead of hiding and guarding against it, it is better to get rid of the troubles early.

This year the Hu people came to invade again, Qin Siyong led the army to go out, not only defeated the Hu people and made him the general of Zhenbei, but soon after he came back Mrs. Qin became pregnant, and it was Qin's who was pregnant.And what he has to do is to order something for Mrs. Qin before Qin Siyong returns to the capital without arousing suspicion as much as possible.

"Zhao Yuan."

"What are your orders?" After Zhao Yunting's three years of training, the 12-year-old Zhao Yuan is already very sophisticated.

Zhao Yunting raised his chin at Tie Wa: "You do it yourself, shave his hair, and get him a monk's robe from Long'en Temple. Tie Wa, I want you to pretend to be a young monk to do something for me the day after tomorrow. , I will give you 500 taels of silver, which is enough for you to enjoy yourself in the countryside for a lifetime."

Tie Wa was not stupid, so she knelt down first, and begged pitifully: "Your Majesty, you saved my life. I am willing to do anything you ask me to do, but I don't want to die. No matter how much money you give me, I am afraid that I will die." It's life-threatening to be caught by the Qin family."

Zhao Yunting smiled: "If you are caught, I will be exposed. I'm not that stupid. Don't worry, tomorrow's matter is very simple. As long as you are calm enough not to show your feet, there will be no disturbances. Tie Wa , I believe that you entrusted such an important matter to you, so don't let me down."

"Don't worry, my son, Tie Wa understands everything!" After making sure that the errand would not bring him any trouble, Tie Wa immediately expressed his loyalty.He has never done anything, it is rare to have a chance to step up to the sky, and Zhao Yunting has made all the arrangements, he will never mess up.

There are so many beggars, and there are thousands of choices to choose this one, Zhao Yunting of course believes him.

In the morning of the next day, Zhao Yunting accompanied his mother to Longen Temple to offer incense.

The Zhao and Qin families did not run into each other, and the rooms they arranged were far apart. Zhao Yunting calmly accompanied his mother to offer incense and enjoy the scenery, while at the corner of the corridor on the other side, Tie Wa, dressed in a monk's robe, was being dressed by the same woman. While the female guest was talking, a young monk came over with tea in the distance. When passing by them, the mother-in-law suddenly covered the young monk's mouth with her hand, while Tie Wa quickly took the chopping board and quickly poured a bag of powder into the teapot. After taking a few deep breaths, she walked towards Mrs. Qin's guest room in front.

When walking out of the corridor, Tie Wa looked back, but there was no sign of the mother-in-law there.

On this day, Mrs. Qin suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach shortly after drinking tea, but it was not very serious, so she stopped the maid who wanted to send someone to invite the doctor, lay down on the couch, and woke up better, so she didn't take this matter Take things to heart.

Before evening, Mrs. Qin returned to the Duke's Mansion.

At the same time, in the Marquis of Yanping, Zhao Yunting was telling Zhao Yuan in a low voice: "Throw those two people into the cemetery, and don't attract attention."

Zhao Yuan took the order to leave.

Zhao Yunting turned around and walked back to the desk, picked up a chess piece that looked like suet white jade, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Lan Rong, this is my gift to you, a gift from our family.

In August, Qin Siyong returned from victory, and until the spring of the following year, there was no news of Mrs. Qin's stomach.

Just when Zhao Yunting breathed a sigh of relief, the Ning family received a bad news. The room of the aunt who married in Yangzhou was flooded. All the uncles and aunts died in the fire. robbery.
