Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 118

Mrs. Gong was sitting on the reclining chair under the porch, listening to Red Ginseng telling her the news about her arrival, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Is that what the old lady said? She also thinks that the son of the mighty Hou family is very good. You specially invited Miss Biao to come over?"

The red ginseng nodded: "Yes, Mrs. Mighty Marquis came here yesterday. It was said by the woman cleaning the window outside the flower hall that Mrs. Mighty Marquis intends to ask Miss Cousin to be her daughter-in-law. It seems that she has mentioned it to the old lady more than once. The old lady refused on behalf of Miss Biao, but yesterday the old lady was a little bit moved. After Mrs. Wei Wuhou left, the old lady and Nanny Gui talked for a while, saying that the son of the mighty Hou will attend the autumn festival next month. After seeing his future, the old lady saw his future, and said that the academicians of the Imperial Academy all said that the mighty Hou Shizi can be as good as the top three, with such a good future, it is no wonder that the old lady is tempted."

Mrs. Gong squinted her eyes, supported her waist, and stroked her ball-sized belly with one hand. She thought in her heart that the Marquis of Mighty Mansion is also very popular now. Marquis Chang Ning went to the southern border and was promoted to the First-Class Marquis Mansion after earning military exploits. But Marquis Tan Cheng did nothing and was treated the same as Marquis of Changning, and was promoted accordingly. It can be seen that the emperor's care for Marquis of Marquis is better than Marquis of Changning's. The position has only changed slightly, from the original Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of War, and the grade has not changed at all, but Wei Wuhou has been promoted from the original commander of the five cities to the deputy commander of the Imperial Army. Yeah.Besides, she has seen this mighty Hou Shizi twice before, he is indeed a young talent, he is also very handsome, and full of bookishness, if he wins the top three in this autumn, then with his wealth and appearance, what do you want in the capital? There is no such noble lady, no wonder the old lady, who always has her eyes high above her head, is going to be tempted this time.

"If you weren't tempted, you wouldn't have invited Miss Biao to talk today. It's a pity that Qingcang Courtyard is like an iron barrel, and our people can't get in. Otherwise, I really want to hear what the old lady and Miss Biao have to say." Red Ginseng is Gong's confidant, and he always handles things properly. He knows Gong's temperament and knows how to say that Gong will be happy.

Mrs. Gong let out a breath and said, "Don't inquire about Qing Cang Yuan's affairs. She has lost many people in her hands over the years. It's not worth it for such news."

"Why is it not worth it? The old lady wants to make troubles for the cousin. Doesn't my aunt want to make troubles for the cousin?"

If Mrs. Liu wanted to help Yan Zhaohua, then Mrs. Gong would naturally do it for Yan Zhaoning.Mentioning her unworthy granddaughter, Gong couldn't help but sigh, that girl is as stupid as her mother, but at least her mother is not honorable in front of her, but that girl thinks that she has a daughter, so she still can't convince her If it wasn't her own granddaughter, Mrs. Gong didn't want to plan anything for such a child who was not close to her, but who would let her be her own? Her mother died for no apparent reason. Involved, she was murdered by that bitch of the Liu family, and she could only help take care of the pair of children left behind.

Red Ginseng's words hit Gong Shi's heart, she really thought so.Ever since she recalled her birthday last night, she listened to some words about how powerful the mighty Marquis Mansion was, and she started thinking about telling Yan Zhaoning to Marquis Marquis Mansion. Zhaohua's prostitute daughter, how could she get Yan Zhaoning over there?

Alas, I also blame that girl for not being up to date. Yan Xiu actually interrogated the incident last time. That silly girl is really worthless. She doesn't know how powerful the world is. If she was here, she would not admit it even if she killed her. He still loves her very much, and the crime of murdering his sister-in-law is only beaten a few times, and he has been banned for three months. I think that as long as she can marry Yan Zhaoning to the Weiwu Hou Mansion, Yan Xiu, a father, will not refuse. .

Now all that remains is how to marry Yan Zhaoning to the Marquis of Weiwu.Mrs. Gong stood up, supported by the red ginseng, and began to pace and calculate step by step in the yard.

In the past few days, there have been many major events in Beijing. Some officials' mansions have been involved in the case of Dali Temple at the same time. The rich and nobles with a criminal record are all in danger.

Compared with the turmoil in other mansions, the life of the Marquis of Changning couldn't be more peaceful.

At the end of September, Yan Zhaoning's foot ban was finally lifted, and he came to Yan Zhaohua's yard early in the morning to wait. After Yan Zhaohua got up and washed, he let her in and asked:

"Why did you come so early?"

Yan Zhaoning looked at Yan Zhaohua, not to mention the sourness in his heart. Originally, he thought that as long as he came out and said good things to Yan Xiu after he lifted the ban, he would still have a chance to fight Yan Zhaohua. In the past few days, Yan Zhaohua has transformed into the head of Zhaohua County, with food and fiefs. In the past, she was the eldest daughter and she was the second daughter. The difference is not too big, but now, even if she lifts the ban When he came out, he was already hard to catch in terms of identity, how could Yan Zhaoning not hate it.

However, Yan Xiu loves Yan Zhaohua so much now, even when she went to pay his respects to him, he never forgot to ask her to come to Yan Zhaohua to plead guilty again. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Yan Zhaoning had to come .

Suppressing the unhappiness in my heart, I said softly to Yan Zhaohua: "I'm here to apologize to my sister. What happened last time was that my sister was confused for a moment and fell into the villain's tricks, which hurt my sister. Fortunately, no major mistakes were made. Otherwise, my sister will regret it for the rest of her life."

Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Zhaoning who was getting more and more beautiful. The wound on the back of her neck should not be completely healed. It was wrapped in fine sand from rolling snow, which made her more beautiful. She hooked her lips and said with a smile:

"Okay, I know what you want. If you have nothing else to do, go back."

Yan Zhaoning held back her anger, the three-month confinement allowed her to gain some capital, and she would no longer put everything on her face like before.Even though Yan Zhaohua issued an order to expel the guest, he could still hold back his temper, stepped forward pitifully, and said:

"My sister is still angry with me. I know that I will never be able to get my sister's forgiveness in this life, but my sister also allows me to distinguish. My mother died suddenly, and my father went out to fight for more than two years. My brother and I I am young, and I am restricted everywhere in the Duke's mansion. They never respect me as a cousin. I am also afraid, so I get close to Aunt Gong. I am instigated by Aunt Gong every day, and I blame my sister for not being firm. Doing such things that harm others and myself, but these three months of self-reflection and grounding have made my sister really repent. You see, my father beat me so hard, the scar on the back of my neck is probably going to be with me for the rest of my life Now, I also have a few shallow scars on my body. Although it didn't hurt my life, my sister also thought about it for me. I am a girl. Isn't it hard enough to be punished like this? Now my sister has been named the county head, The second elder brother has been made the heir again, and the Marquis of Changning will be yours in the future, do you still care about this with your younger sister now?"

Yan Zhaohua looked at her young and scheming appearance, shook his head, sighed and said:
"I'm not fussing with you, it's just that once the relationship between people is broken, it's hard to repair. You don't need to make excuses, I will still treat you as my younger sister, and you are still the third lady of Changning Hou Mansion , This is an undoubted fact, from now on, I just hope that you will remember your identity, and don't let your behavior confuse the Changning Houfu."

Yan Zhaoning's nails dug into the flesh, he gritted his teeth, looked down at the tassels around his waist, waited for Yan Zhaohua to finish speaking, and then responded, saying:

"Yes, my sister taught me a lesson, I wrote it down, and I will never dare to do it again from now on."

"Remember it, let's go back, I don't have anything else to say." Yan Zhaohua didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he let her leave.

Yan Zhaoning kept an eye on his heart, and after paying another respectful salute to Yan Zhaohua, he walked out of Yan Zhaohua's Qingqueju.

Yan Zhaohua asked Ranxiang and the others to bring breakfast to her study. Just as she sat down, she heard a crisp bird call outside the window. Ranxiang and Qingzhu looked at each other and said:
"Hey, where did the bird call come from? I'll go and have a look."

Yan Zhaohua looked at the window, and when he was wondering, his heart suddenly moved, and he stood up, startled Qingzhu, and shouted to Ranxiang: "Don't, don't look. The bird's song is so ordinary, what's the matter?" Looks good, I also want to use some black chicken soup, you go to the kitchen and have them stew in the pot."

Ran Xiang turned her head, looked at Yan Zhaohua and Qingzhu who also looked puzzled, and replied nah: "Oh, yes. Slave... let's go."

Yan Zhaohua also knew that her behavior was too strange, but the matter was important. It was better for her to behave strangely than to be seen by others. After coughing lightly, she also said to Qingzhu:
"Qingzhu will go to the Duke's Mansion for me. The former aunt said she wanted the tribute satin from our mansion, but it hasn't been delivered to her until now."

Qingzhu also led the order, and came out side by side with Ranxiang. Both of them felt that the eldest lady was too strange today, but they didn't ask too many questions. The eldest lady ordered them to just do it.

After sending the two little girls away, Yan Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door, looked around the corridors, then closed the door and opened the window behind the study.

I looked at it twice, but there was nothing there. Feeling lost for a while, I said to myself: "Could it be that I was wrong?" I thought it was Pei Xuan, and after being nervous for a long time, it turned out that it was really a bird...

Teased by her own carelessness, Yan Zhaohua shook her head. Just as Yan Zhaohua was about to raise his hand to close the window, he saw a bird cage suddenly moved in front of her. Pei Xuan's handsome face appeared behind the bird cage. , I haven't seen him for more than a month. He seems to have lost a lot of weight. His eyes are full of bruises and bloodshot eyes. Xuan, Yan Zhaohua hasn't seen it yet.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you don't know me?"

As soon as Pei Xuan opened his mouth, Yan Zhaohua always wanted to block him with something. He gave him a sideways look and didn't want to give him a good face. When this person got busy, he didn't hear from him. He didn't even send a letter for more than a month. If you don't pass it on to her, it will be strange if she doesn't get angry.
