Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 328
After listening to Ning Wan's words, Princess Dongping shook her head and said with a smile: "Young girls, although they are filial, have no reason to go to the nunnery to practice! And now that the three-year period is about to expire, they should go home. .”

Ning Wan had heard Luo Yan say the same thing when she went to the nunnery to practice, but now she said: "Miss Luo is still in her infancy, and her parents have left her. This kind of pain is really hard to heal, so she has long wanted to I went to the nunnery to pray for my parents, so I must enter the nunnery. Even her elder brother can only make her long-cherished wish come true. A few days ago when I first arrived in the capital, she only came back to see her, and then went back to the nunnery gone."

Princess Dongping heard the meaning of Ning Wan's words, but she didn't care at all, she just smiled and asked: "Miss Luo is 15 years old now, right?"

"Yes, but Ms. Luo's birthday is in November, so although she is said to be 15 years old, she is still young. Moreover, she has not had a good life since she was born. She has been displaced since she was a child, and lived in a remote place like Liaodong After more than ten years, she is thin and weak, and she is not as well-bred as the ladies in the capital!" Ning Wan completely understood Brother Luo's idea that Luo Yan would rather let Luo Yan live in the nunnery, and not even dress up. She is so beautiful that nothing can hide her natural beauty, so she cannot avoid everyone's attention.Now she would rather belittle Luo Yan than dispel Princess Dongping's concern for Luo Yan.

But Princess Dongping didn't seem to believe it, "The daughter of the Luo family is not bad, after all, she was brought up by Luo Bang." She still smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that our county king will be fifteen this year."

In particular, it is mentioned that two people are of the same age, and the meaning could not be more obvious.But Ning Wan decided to pretend not to understand, and just replied with a smile: "Now I remember when I was fifteen, I was doing business at home, and I was very happy every time I made money." De Jufeng's business, "...the princess is a noble person, and I have never seen what those mountain products look like, but we are very familiar with this business, so when we see such a good mushroom, we must carefully dry it, lest it will be in vain. It was a waste. At that time, in order to earn more money, the family was reluctant to eat it..."

While Ning Wan was talking, she secretly looked at Princess Dongping, fearing that she would suddenly become furious due to her anger.But fortunately, although Princess Dongping looked a little uncomfortable, her expression was still very peaceful.Ning Wan felt relieved, in fact, since she met Princess Dongping, she felt that she was very gentle and calm, not a villain.It's just about Luo Yan, I always have to be careful, I don't want her to get involved with the royal family again.

In this way, Ning Wan spent a long time talking about how to dry mushrooms and dried vegetables. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Ning Wan politely bowed and sent Princess Dongping into the sedan chair. To put on the car curtain, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess, go slowly all the way."

Princess Dongping put her hands together, supported the car curtain, and said with a smile to Ning Wan: "I will post a post for you when we hold a flower show in a few days. Come and have a look at our mansion. Although it is not comparable to the imperial palace, but before we The prince is also very elegant, he has built several pavilions and raised some small animals."

Ning Wan naturally overheard the conversation between the Empress and Princess Dongping, and knew that the flowers would be for appreciating plum blossoms, so it would take at least a month or two. By that time, she and Tie Shi had already left the capital, so it was impossible to participate .Just now I have gone too far, now that Princess Dongping invites me personally, I have to agree first, if I don’t come to Princess Dongping, will it be possible to catch up with Anpingwei?Then he nodded and said, "I would like to listen to Wang Hao's orders."

"Madam Lu can't break her promise." Princess Dongping smiled and nodded.

It just so happened that Sheng'er came up from behind, and Ning Wan took her out of the palace together. Seeing that Tie Shi was waiting for her outside, she walked up quickly and asked, "You came out earlier than me, can the emperor leave a meal?" gone?"

Lu Tieshi smiled and said: "I am no better than you. Not only did I eat the queen's banquet, but I also got a reward - I only had lunch with the court ministers." Then he helped his daughter-in-law into the car , and took the box in Sheng'er's hand, "I'll take a look at what it is."

Ning Wan has also always been curious about the things that the Empress Dowager bestowed upon her. When she was in the palace, Princess Dongping accompanied her and couldn’t open them. Of course, she couldn’t look at them directly in the palace without her. I’m afraid people would laugh at them, so now she is also curious Passed over, "I don't know, let's take a quick look."

The black and red two-color engraved lacquered peony box is very delicate. When opened, it is cushioned with red velvet. On the velvet are a few small golden jewelry, a pair of cloud pattern gold hairpins, and a pair of diamond flower gold rings.

Ning Wan picked up everything and took a closer look. The gold was of very fine color, and the workmanship was also very good. It was shining brightly, and the flowers on it looked like life—but, after all, it was just a few pieces of gold jewelry.For a moment, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, "I thought that what the empress rewarded must be something of great value."

Lu Tieshi told his wife two days ago that Xiao Qingmu and the vassal states who came to pay tribute had received generous rewards from the emperor, so he realized that his daughter-in-law was not greedy, but a little disappointed, so he smiled and said: "Maybe the emperor rewarded you a lot in the court. So stingy, but the Empress has always been like this."

Ning Wan didn't understand either, but luckily they could ask about it when they returned to Luo's house.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei smiled happily when she saw the things: "It's really rare that Mrs. Lu can get the favor of the empress!" Then she took out the gold ornaments for a closer look, and pointed them out, "These are all internal affairs. It’s made by the government, look, there’s an inscription on it.”

Because she was not an outsider, Ning Wan said: "There are only a few small things that add up to only a tael of gold. Even if you have some knowledge, what can you do? I heard that the emperor rewarded Xiao Qingmu with thousands of bolts of silk and satin. "

Luo Bing laughed and said: "Although there is a saying that 'the king does not govern the barbarians, the ones who come will not be rejected, and the ones who go will not be chased.', but my court has always treated the subjects with care, and as long as they come to pay tribute, they will give a lot of rewards. It should be far more than the tribute paid by the tribute, so that they are happy to come to the court. As for the ministers, it is just the opposite, there are many tributes, but few rewards. If younger brothers and sisters receive rewards, the empress is already very fond of them."

Mrs. Wei also said: "Besides, who can really use the things that are rewarded by the palace? The younger brothers and sisters will keep this jewelry well, and give it to the daughter-in-law when the son marries, how respectable it is!"

Only then did Ning Wan understand, "So that's how it is!"

Because I talked to everyone about the affairs in the palace, nothing else, only Princess Dongping asked about Yan'er, but she quietly only told Brother Luo and Tie Shi, "Sister-in-law is heavy, don't let her worry; as for Yan'er , it just so happens that she is not at home now, so it is better to keep it a secret first, we will discuss it together first. I just don’t know what kind of character this Dongping County King is? But he is as beast as King Jing?"

Luo Bing had heard Ning Wan talk about what she saw in the palace before, and found it quite interesting. Wei Shi also entered the palace, but he just returned with a formal salute, but he did not have such an experience as Ning Wan.As for the things in the palace, he was born in a family, so he actually knew very little, so he was curious anyway.But now, Luo Bing stopped smiling, "The king of Dongping County is not very old, and he rarely appears in front of everyone, but he has never heard any bad rumors." Come to think of it, maybe Princess Dongping just asked Yan'er casually?"

"Siblings probably don't know," Luo Bing said before Ning Wan replied, "Princess Dongping, I know, her natal family is also considered to be a family in the capital. But her father is a side branch. After returning to the capital, he was not promoted again, and he resigned because of Ding You. The case of our family was filed at this time. Although he did not speak up, he did not make trouble. Back then, the late emperor chose his daughter to be the concubine of his favorite youngest son, King Dongping, because of the cowardice and honesty of this family."

"Later, the first emperor passed away and the emperor came to the throne. The other sons of the first emperor did not end well. Only the king of Dongping and the concubine have been living peacefully. Even after the king of Dongping fell ill and passed away, his sons were also enshrined smoothly. It is really rare to become the King of Dongping County. With Princess Dongping's temperament of never showing off, she should not be willing to provoke King Jing, after all, Yan'er's cultivation can never be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested."

It turned out to be like this.Ning Wan thought about it carefully, and finally said with certainty: "No, I'm very sure, what she implied was that she wanted Yan'er to be her daughter-in-law, and hoped that I could help lead the way." After talking about it in detail, I didn't even forget the expression and tone.

"Princess Dongping actually made it clear to you that her father knew that the Luo family was wronged. This is very rare. She has always kept her mouth shut on political affairs, and she is only willing to be an idler with her son." Luo Bing nodded and fell into a dilemma. Thinking deeply, she suddenly said: "Could it be that she thinks King Jing won't get the throne?"

The big fact of the throne is too far away from the border town, so both Tieshi and Ning Wan are very unfamiliar with it, so they dare not make random guesses, so I just heard Brother Luo say to himself: "It is said that Princess Dongping has always gotten along well with the empress. It's not surprising to find out about the empress, but it's hard to tell about this kind of thing until the end."

Lu Tieshi saw Luo Bing's embarrassment, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Luo, if you are really worried about Yan'er, then let her follow us back to Liaodong, and ask Wan'er to help her find a good relative. If the family treats Yan'er a little badly, I will call the door too, so that she won't be wronged!"

Ning Wan also said: "Yan'er grew up in Liaodong. If she is half of Liaodong, it is easy to talk about marrying a young couple there. Now that she is fifteen, she has returned to Liaodong with us. I will be 16 years old in the Chinese New Year, and I happen to be planning a wedding. After a year or two after getting married, I can still find a way to transfer her husband-in-law to the capital or Jiangnan to be an official. If you rest your mind, wouldn't you have both?"

"Yan'er and I were protected by you when we were in Liaodong before, and now we don't want to worry about you when we return to the capital." Luo Bing shook his head and said, "I have accepted all your wishes, but it is not the case now, after all, Dongping The concubine is not an unreasonable person, I will probe into her mind before making a decision."

Luo Bing is no longer the sinner who was trampled to the lowest level back then. The change in identity is only superficial. Ning Wan feels that he is more mature and capable after going through hardships. It only depends on whether he can keep Luo Yan from being respected by the king. It is not easy for the devil's claws to kill.It shouldn't be difficult to deal with Princess Dongping now, right?So she smiled and said: "Naturally, we don't need to talk about our friendship for so many years. Brother Luo, don't be in a hurry. Let's see the situation first. Even if we go back to Liaodong, we can send Yan'er there again at any time. Let's go."

Luo Bing said: "I understand your kindness!" His voice was slightly choked, but he calmed down in a blink of an eye, "I am not reluctant to marry Yan'er back to Liaodong. There are good men in Liaodong, and Yan'er will live well, it's just me I really can't bear to let her go too far away from me. But fortunately, you have to stay in the capital for a while, so there is no need to rush right now."

Tie Shi nodded, but asked: "When I saw you today, the emperor ordered you to return to Liaodong after the autumn hunting. When will this hunting be? Where are you going?"

Luo Bing said: "There is a Yanshan Mountain fifty miles west of the capital, and there is a royal hunting ground there. The royal hunting is there. But if it is said when, I don't know, but I think it will take a month or two. .”

Lu Tieshi obviously did not expect, "It will take so long?"

"Hunting is not a trivial matter for the emperor. There are many things to arrange. It is nothing to prepare for a month or two. Today King Jing and Marquis Xiangwu proposed hunting, and the emperor agreed, so he immediately sent people to arrange it. Time is tight!"

Tieshi often went hunting in Liaodong. He made an appointment with a few comrades, packed his bow and arrows, brought some dry food and went out. He usually came back in three to five days, and at most only ten or eight days. But everything in the royal family is different from ordinary people. .Ning Wan was thinking like this, and suddenly exclaimed: "Princess Dongping knows that the emperor wants to keep Tie Shi in the capital for a longer period of time!"

But when Tieshi was attending the court in the front hall, the emperor asked him to participate in the hunting. At that time, Princess Dongping and herself were meeting the queen in the Kunning Palace, but she knew the emperor's intentions in advance, so she invited herself to be a guest very firmly!
