Ordinary clear day

Chapter 200
As soon as Nala received the report from his servants, regardless of his weak body, he rushed to the gate of Wanning's small courtyard and stopped the fifth elder brother who was about to barge in.She put on an attitude of "if you want to go over, you have to step over my corpse", and coldly rejected the fifth elder brother's request to see her daughter.

The fifth elder brother looked pale and begged with a haggard look: "Auntie, please let me see Wanwan." But Nala gritted his teeth and said: "I can't be called Wu Baylor. Wu Baylor is married now. What are you doing here? Please come back, don't be entangled anymore!"

The fifth elder brother looked at the closed doors and windows in the small courtyard, and the maids standing quietly in the corridor, and said sadly to the main room: "Wanwan, I know you hate me, if I'm not too reckless, You will not be insulted like this. But please believe me, I only have you in my heart, no matter who others want me to marry, my affection for you will never change. "

There was no movement in the room, and Nala who was outside gritted his silver teeth first: "What's the use of Wubeile saying these words now? If you hadn't blocked us, we Wanning had already made an appointment and were ready to get married. Back then It's also because you swore that you wanted to marry us Wanning as the first wife, but now, it's the result of being so indifferent!" She took a few breaths, and seeing the shame on Fifth Elder Brother's face, she slowed down and said, "If If Wubeile really has a sliver of true affection for us Wanning, please go and ask Empress Yi to raise her hand and put down Wanning's brand early so that she can find another good relationship."

"No!" The fifth elder brother was startled, "I...I can't..." Nala became impatient after hearing this: "Could it be that at this point, Fifth Beile is still blocking our Wanning marriage?! You are already Now that Fujin is set, let my daughter go!"

A look of pain flashed across the face of the fifth elder brother, his heart was like a knife, and he silently looked at the door and wept.Seeing this, Nala said to the servants who followed behind him: "Hurry up and help you Lord Baylor back, if the emperor and empress find out, you will not be well." Those servants looked at each other, and then To go forward to persuade the master.

The fifth elder brother broke away from them, stepped forward two steps and said: "Wanwan, I have a solution! As long as I make more contributions and obey Huang Ama's wishes in everything, he will definitely see it for my diligence and filial piety." God is kind, maybe he will point you to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door in the courtyard opened with a bang, and Wanning rushed out from inside, ignoring her mother's yelling "What are you doing out here? Go back to the house", she stared at him with a happy expression on her face. Fifth Elder Brother, his tone was as cold as the cold winter of Sanjiu: "Do you want me to be your concubine?"

The fifth elder brother was first happy to see his sweetheart whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and when he heard her questioning, he hurriedly said: "When my title is promoted, you will be a side Fujin, how can I compare to my concubine? I have already established a mansion now Outside, everything in the mansion is up to me, if you marry me, you will be the most honorable person in my mansion, if anyone dares to neglect you, even if it is your sister, I will never forgive her!"

"Shut up!" Wanning hated in her heart, "You want me to be your concubine, and you want Yuanning to be your big wife?! That girl has been against me since she was a child, and she just came here to laugh at me a few days ago. She actually wants me to bow down to her?! Who knows how she will torture me?! I will never agree!"

The Nala family also said: "Wu Bei Le's words are too much! Our ancestors followed the Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong to fight the country, go through life and death, and made great contributions. Our master is now a second-class Uncle Weiyuan, and he is an official in the military department. Minister, although our family is not as good as those first-class families, it is also a generation of lords with a famous family! You want our daughter to be your concubine, but the main room is a small fifth-rank secretary with a third-rank title The official's daughter? Not to mention, that is our Wanning's cousin! Even if you are the prince of the Tian family, you can't bully our family like this!"

The fifth elder brother suppressed his grief and defended: "I... I was just impatient... I never meant to belittle your family..." He turned his head to look at Wanning, choked up and said, "Wanwan, I really can't help it. It's gone...I can't watch you marry someone else, but I can't resist the order, so...the only way..."

Wanning said coldly: "You don't have to say any more, I will never agree. From now on, you will pretend that you have never known me, and don't come here again." After saying that, she went back to the room and closed it with a "bang". No matter how much the fifth elder brother yelled, he refused to respond again.

Nala breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the fifth elder brother: "Five beile, you don't need to scream anymore, just go away. Otherwise, if the palace finds out, it will blame us Wanning again. If you have the heart, go Please, Concubine Yi, put down Wanning's sign."

After hearing her words, the fifth elder brother stopped shouting and just looked at the room silently. After a long while, his servant called out a few times to wake him up.

He said to Nala: "I won't give up just now, but please don't worry, auntie, I will act carefully and won't let Wanwan be wronged again." Then he turned his head and shouted to the door: "Wanwan, I will Come again!" Then he turned and left.

Nala was short of breath for a moment, only felt that her eyes were dark.

========================== I am the dividing line of the conversion scene ===================== ======
Shu Ning's foot injury had improved, and she could barely walk on the ground, so she leaned on a cane, went out of the room to catch her breath, and went to the main room to talk with her mother.When the news of the fifth elder brother's visit came, she was reading a letter from Mrs. Wen from Guangzhou with her mother Tong and sister-in-law Zhenzhen.

Mrs. Tong frowned after hearing Ermao's report: "Why is this fifth elder brother so confused? He already refers to the married person, and even went to the mansion to pester Ermaid. It is said that Ermao acted frivolously , in fact, this fifth elder brother is also an uneasy master!"

Shu Ning also felt a little angry: "This is harming others and not benefiting oneself! By doing this, fifth elder brother may not only be reprimanded by the emperor, but also the situation of second sister will become more difficult. My aunt is a bit offended, and this adds to the contradiction, if outsiders find out, even the fourth younger sister will be laughed at."

In her heart, she was very dissatisfied with this member of the digital army. He gave Wanning the confidence to propose a marriage, but he was unable to fulfill his promise.If one-third of Wanning's predicament today is due to her publicity and carelessness, and one-third is due to other people's framing, then the fifth elder brother's recklessness must also account for one-third reason.

Zhenzhen asked Ermo: "Mother said just now that my aunt had fainted from anger. How are you doing now?" Ermo said, "I've woken up. It's probably just a moment of shortness of breath. Grandma has sent for a doctor." Tong sighed: "My sister-in-law is also suffering. Finally, both sons have made some achievements, and this kind of thing happened to my daughter." She told Ermo: "My big box of huanghuali, the one on the left There is a bottle of pills in the small drawer, which are for calming the mind, nourishing qi and nourishing the blood, take it to the bamboo courtyard, maybe the eldest wife can use it." Er Mo agreed, found the medicine bottle and went.

Shu Ning was still worried about Wan Ning and Yuan Ning. Seeing this, Tong said, "Let's not bother with the eldest and second house. This is not a good thing at all. Didn't you see that your fourth uncle and aunt are not doing well these days?" Are you going home? Your aunt has been ill for a few days, I know that your sister-in-law, Qing Qing, has worked hard as a housekeeper, and I didn't say anything to help, but I just don't want to get involved." She turned her head and told her daughter-in-law to visit her sister-in-law less in recent days , Zhenzhen hastily answered yes.

Shu Ning thought for a while, sighed, put the matter aside, and concentrated on talking about Mrs. Wen's letter with her mother and sister-in-law.

Tong said: "Now Guangzhou Cyclamen's income is getting less and less, and the dividends in the two quarters are less than 1000 taels. It seems that the business is not very good." Zhenzhen said: "In fact, since last year, the income has been less. There are several similar teahouses opened in the area, and they are all backed by people. Cyclamen is no longer a unique business." Shu Ning said: "It's normal, the businessmen over there are all good people, how could they Let go of a good way to make money for nothing?"

Mrs. Tong thought about it silently for a while, and sighed: "The industry in Fangshan probably won't do very well this year. Although the rainy day has passed, it's not bad that the crops in the field can be recovered by six or seven. Don't think about it, as for the orchards on the hillside, although there are many fruits, the Quansheng reported that the taste may not be as good as in previous years. The flowers in the garden are so bad that they can't be sold for much. The only thing that is considered good is probably The number of fish is more than in previous years. Based on this calculation, the total profit this year is probably less than 5000 taels."

Zhenzhen was slightly taken aback, and said: "Daughter-in-law, remember to look at the accounts of previous years. Last year alone, there were more than 7000 taels. This is much worse."

Tong nodded and said: "If you add the income from Baoding, which is divided by the public, and the title salary, silver and lumi, there will be nearly ten thousand taels. But there is a disaster this year, and there is no way out."

Shu Ning said: "Since that's the case, when Er Niang prepares the dowry for me, don't spend too much money. Anyway, I'm just marrying a baby girl. Ama and Er Niang don't have to be as generous as the second uncle and the second aunt."

When Tong and Zhenzhen heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then they both laughed.Tong said: "How can this be confused? Although our family is not as good as Prince Fujin's natal family, we are not poor enough to save on our daughter's dowry. What's more, your marriage is still a year or two away. After a long time, are you still afraid that our family will not be able to save money for your dowry?"

Shu Ning was a little embarrassed and said: "I just think...there is still a lot of money to be spent at home...Ama also needs to take care of it when she is in office. Zhili is originally a Qingshui yamen, and there are no other things like when she was in Guangzhou. Income. Brother and sister-in-law also need money, and in the future, there are two younger brothers..."

Tong said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Your brother doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy shortages. Even if there are some personal relationships, just the monthly salary and the ice and charcoal tribute from the ministry are enough. The family There is also monthly money. The couple of him add up to 30 taels a month, and they are not spenders. Are you afraid that they will be poor? If there are any big expenses, our family can still afford them. Brother Xian spends the money Limited, on Xiaobao's side, your Aunt Liu is a rich man. As for your Ama, although Zhili Qingshui is better, the adults above are not too greedy masters, and it doesn't take much money to treat guests and give gifts. These things, You really don’t need to worry about it. If you want to marry into the palace, if the dowry is less, you won’t be able to straighten up in front of your mother-in-law in the future.”

Zhenzhen also nodded and said: "Mother-in-law is right. When I entered the door, I already had 64 lifts. Sister Shu must at least double that. At least in the future, I will not lose to my sisters-in-law. People, you have face when you speak. This is decent, otherwise, why would the second aunt spend 5 taels of silver on the dowry for the fourth sister."

Shuning was helpless, in fact, she really didn't think that she needed so much dowry, as Zhenzhen's 64 is already very rich.However, thinking of the situation of Tongying's family, she still accepted the opinions of her mother and sister-in-law seriously.

The three women continued to discuss the income and expenses of the family, and it was only three quarters past when Duanning came back.

Zhenzhen immediately got up to meet her, and said, "Why is it so early today? What did you have for lunch? Are you hungry? The small kitchen made sour soup today, would you like a bowl?"

Duanning hurriedly drank half a cup of tea before saying: "If you want to eat, put more sesame seeds and less honey." Zhenzhen complied and went.

Tong Shi asked: "You came back so early today, don't you be lazy?" Duan Ning smiled and said: "How can it be? There is nothing to do today. The adults above have all asked for personal leave. I came back early when I saw that there was nothing to do. Yes, others have left almost as well.”

After hearing this, Shu Ning asked: "I remember that you were very busy before, why did you suddenly become free?" Duan Ning said: "There were many things at that time, so naturally you would be busy, and now you are almost done. Don't worry, I am not the only one who is idle. , and others are the same." After finishing speaking, he blinked his right eye.

Shuning slightly pursed her lips and smiled, but remained silent.Duanning turned around and said to his mother: "I got good news today, I will be promoted soon."

Tong Shi and Shuning gasped together, and Zhenzhen who just entered the door with a bowl of sour soup was also surprised.Duan Ning explained with a smile: "So there was a senior in my department, who was a Qipin pen sticker, and he resigned due to illness. Envoy Pian Luanyi said Xiang, he is a nephew, only fifteen or sixteen years old, I want to be a post in our department. Several adults discussed it and decided to let me take the seat of that senior, and make room for the nephew of Lord Luanyi."

After hearing this, Tong said: "Although it was promoted by your superiors, you have surpassed others for promotion within a year after entering the official position. I am afraid that others are also looking at your father-in-law's face, and because your sister is going to marry into Prince Jian's mansion. , if you are proud and complacent after being promoted, and don't do things well, I won't forgive you before your boss punishes you."

Duanning quickly put away his laughing expression, stood up solemnly and said, "I would like to respect Er Niang's teachings." But soon he smiled again: "E Niang, don't worry, although this time the promotion, others are mostly looking at it for the sake of my father-in-law and younger sister. , but I ask myself that I have done a good job all the time, and I am worthy of the adults' promotion, and I will continue to do my duty faithfully in the future, and will not discredit Ama'eniang."

Tong Shi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Eat quickly, don't be hungry." Duanning agreed, and sat down to eat the sour soup.Zhenzhen poured him a glass of water.Shu Ning watched her brother eat with a smile, and continued to discuss the previous topic with her mother and sister-in-law.

But he said that after the fifth elder brother left that day, he came back several times.Nalashi only stopped him once, and then he was too sick to have the strength to stop him again.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sitara are both young daughters-in-law, and they are not easy to come forward. They wanted to ask Mrs. Tong, but Mrs. Tong pushed them away because they were busy with their daughter's marriage, so they had to ask Mrs. Shen.But Mrs. Shen is usually not in the mansion, even if she is, the Chrysanthemum Courtyard where she lives is far away. When she received the news and came, the fifth elder brother had already said all the important things.

Wanning has been refusing to see Fifth Prince, so the latter had no choice but to talk to her in the yard.Wanning was so annoyed that she simply asked Yue He to put away the gifts from the Fifth Elder Brother in a box and return them all to him, expressing that she would break with him completely.But for some reason, the fifth elder brother was like brown sugar, and it was not easy to drive people away forcefully, but she really couldn't accept his proposal of side Fujin, so the situation froze like this.

She got angry once, and she said angrily through the window: "Don't put on an affectionate look for me. If you really give me your heart and soul, then why are people outside rumoring that your side Fujin is married?" Pregnant? Counting the days, it was actually when I was in the palace!"

The fifth elder brother was startled, and said embarrassingly: "I was sad for a while after receiving what Huang Ama said, and I got drunk...Even so, you are the only one in my heart."

"Hmph, stop pretending, don't tell me, you never touched Liu's finger before that?"

The Fifth Elder Brother was silent for a while, and then said: "No matter what she said, it was the concubine that Huang Ama pointed out to me... Wanwan, you know how I feel about you. It would be too hurtful to say such a thing."

Wanning stopped talking.After the fifth elder brother came again, he was also silent.At this time, it has already entered August, and the fifth elder brother came several times. Seeing that Wan Ning has been indifferent and a little discouraged, he said to her: "I have tried to persuade the concubine mother, but her tone has become a little loose. , Wanwan, I may not be able to come here for a while, I hope you can give me a final answer when we meet again."

Wan Ning sneered and said, "It seems that you have given up too, it would have been better if it had been like this earlier, why bother to pretend to be affectionate?"

The fifth elder brother felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly explained: "It's not like this, it's just because Huang Ama wants to tour outside the Great Wall as usual, and ordered ten of our older princes to accompany him, and even the 12-year-old Xiao Shi also wants to go. It's not my intention Not coming."

Wanning asked: "Tour outside the Great Wall?"

The fifth elder brother said yes, and saw that she had been silent, and waited for a while, then smiled wryly and wanted to leave.Just as she said her farewell, Wanning suddenly opened the window, and said with some hesitation, "You... you are outside, so be careful."

The fifth elder brother was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You...you also have to take care of yourself." He walked away step by step, but did not notice that there was something strange in Wanning's eyes look.

(I'm sorry, I'm sorry~~~ I really don't have a good grasp of the scale in today's chapter, so it will be slow to change and change...)
