After Ning Lang received the letter, he hurried to his home, but Qingzhou was far from the capital, and even if he hurried, it would take several days.
As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder, and the city began to be lively.
Jiang Yunlan calculated the account in the shop, and when the shopkeeper in the shop went back, she suddenly remembered that it was only a few months before the New Year's Eve. Ning Nuan's day is set before the end of the year, and before next year, her A Nuan will be married off.
Jiang Yunlan couldn't help but feel a little sigh. Looking at it again, even Ning Nuan's wedding dress was ready, and she couldn't help feeling a little lonely in her heart.
In her last life, she had watched Ning Nuan get married with her own eyes. In this life, she was only a daughter, but she had to watch her marry twice, both times with the same person. This was a very strange feeling. , I'm afraid the world can't find a second one.
Before Ning Nuan went out, Ning Qing came first.
She didn't look very good. Although the second and third bedrooms have been moved out, the old lady is still there. This time she came here to complain to the old lady. Jiang Yunlan watched her go straight to the old lady's yard with cold eyes, and when she turned her head, someone told her Ning Qing's purpose. It turned out that Ning Qing had a bad life in the Zhou family, even worse than Jiang Yunlan knew in her previous life, so she specially invited the old lady to stand up for herself.
Jiang Yunlan sneered and didn't care anymore.
In the old lady's yard, Ning Qing still had tears on her face: "... I've only been married to the Zhou family for half a year, and the Zhou family indulged him into the side room. How could they put me and our Ning family in their eyes, grandma? , I only now know that before we got married, he had already raised people outside, and now he actually condones those people to bully me. Grandma, what should I do!"
She married beautifully, but her life was not so good.
Originally, it was the Zhou family who took the initiative to propose marriage. She thought that Zhou Gongzi also had an interest in her, but after marrying, she realized that Zhou Gongzi not only did not have any love for her, but she was not even what she expected. .
The Ning family split up, her uncle and their family were torn apart, her father was just a petty official, and her brother was originally a top talent, but he suffered a disaster because of the previous incident, and now he has been fired from everything. Fame, can not enter the career in the future. When the Zhou family married her, although it was a low-level marriage, they were also interested in their family's good prospects, but who knew that after the marriage, everything was unsatisfactory, even her own, because of Ning Nuan's reputation. Because of this, he was suspected by others.
She is a high-married woman, and her background is not high. Now, she is not liked by Zhou Gongzi. Although she is the wife, she can't raise her head in the Zhou family. No one in the Zhou family likes her, even if she used to be kind to her. Mrs. Zhou is also very critical of her now.
When Ning Qing was in the Ning family, she was loved by the whole family. Whether it was the second lady or the old lady, they all worked hard for her. Who would have thought that after marrying into the Zhou family, everything went wrong and she only felt wronged.
The old lady squinted her eyes and said, "As long as you give birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, even if you look at the child's face, Young Master Zhou will not treat you too badly."
Although Ning Qing's background was not high, she was in the main room. Even if the Zhou family goes too far, they are people who value bloodlines.
Ning Qing burst into tears: "But Zhou Gongzi doesn't want to be with me at all... Grandma, what should I do?"
"Stupid, is that what your mother taught you?"
Ning Qing said, "My mother told me to endure it."
The old lady closed her eyes and did not answer.
Ning Qing couldn't help but said, "But Xianggong...he lives in someone else's room every day..."
The old lady sighed and looked at her helplessly.
Ning Qing took a deep breath, and then said softly: "In his side room, it seems that he already has..."
The old lady changed her face.
The old lady said, "Come here with your ears."
Ning Qing's face was filled with joy, and she hurriedly approached.
Since that day, she has lived in the old lady's yard. The old lady still has a destiny, she is willing to stand up for Ning Qing, and the Zhou family will naturally have to weigh it a bit. It's just that after the news was delivered, the Zhou family did not send someone to pick her up, but they sent a lot of comforting gifts. It happened that Mr. Zhou had gone out and only said that he would pick her up when he came back.
Ning Qing stayed at Ning's house with peace of mind.
Now that the whole Ning family is busy preparing for Ning Nuan's marriage, she is staying in the Ning family, so she naturally sees this clearly. She couldn't help but inquire about Ning Nuan's movements, what gifts from King An, and what the maid said was in Ning Nuan's dowry, she was jealous every time she heard it.
She thought that she was already married well, but who knew that Ning Nuan would still be able to marry Prince An
Although Young Master Zhou was the son of a servant of the Ministry of Rites, King An was the emperor’s younger brother, and he was receiving holy favor. No matter how powerful Young Master Zhou was, how could he compare to King An
Look at An Wang's generous appearance. He is not married yet, so he has people bring things over every day, which is really attentive. Before she and Zhou Gongzi got married, Zhou Gongzi's attitude was a little cold, how could he compare to Prince An? Besides, Prince An was the only one in the palace. When Ning Nuan got married, the queen mother was in the palace, and everyone in the palace listened to her, and no mother-in-law came to care about her.
Ning Qing saw it in her eyes, and secretly twisted her handkerchief, her heart was full of jealousy.
Why is Ning Nuan so lucky? Why did she take all the good things
Fortunately, Ning Lang is an ignorant dude, no matter how powerful Ning Nuan is, her brother will still be a drag at that time. From childhood to adulthood, Ning Lang has caused many troubles, and even now, it is not good. Now that he has gone to Qingzhou, he doesn't know what to do outside, and it is not a good thing after all.
Ning Lang hurriedly hurried, driving a fast horse all the way from Qingzhou to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, it was two days earlier than originally expected.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, he arrived at the door of the house, and no matter how surprised the gatekeeper was, he hurried in after throwing the horse.
"Mother! Dad! Ah Nuan!" Ning Lang shouted, "Where are you guys?!"
Jiang Yunlan heard the sound and was immediately surprised: "You came back so early?"
"As soon as I received your letter, I came back." Ning Lang quickly grabbed her and asked, "Mother, what did you say in the letter? A Nuan is engaged, with whom? You Did I make a mistake in the letter? How do I look at it, it looks like…”
How could it be King An
Jiang Yunlan said, "It's King An."
Boom!
Even if he had prepared a few days in advance, Ning Lang was stunned as if he had been beaten in the head.
Jiang Yunlan sighed and said, "A Nuan has caught King An with his own eyes, what can I do? Naturally, I agree."
"But Ah Nuan... How could Ah Nuan look down on you, King Zhong An?" Ning Lang was puzzled: "She clearly doesn't look down on King An, but she just came back from Qingzhou for a few days, so why... just get along with King An. already?"
Jiang Yunlan sighed, "I don't know."
Ning Lang said anxiously: "Mother, why did you and Dad agree?"
"A Nuan nodded, what can I do with your father? Forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like?" Jiang Yunlan said, "A Nuan has always had an idea, but this time it wasn't for Wang An to force her, either. I have a crush on King An, and my mother doesn't know what to do."
Ning Lang: "..."
Ning Lang was so angry that he didn't even sit down, he turned around and ran out.
Jiang Yunlan hurriedly called him: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to find King An!" Ning Lang said without looking back, "I'll beat him up!"
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
When Ning Lang ran out, he happened to pass by Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen looked back at him and was immediately puzzled. After thinking about it, he didn't catch up. She raised her head and glanced at the plaque of the Ning Mansion, and walked in with her feet raised. She didn't think about it. Before she stepped on the threshold, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.
Yang Zhen: "..."
The Ning Mansion gatekeeper asked, "Who are you?"
Yang Zhen pointed to himself and said, "I'm a friend of your young master."
The gatekeeper hurried to report, and soon Jiang Yunlan came out in a hurry, she scolded the gatekeeper: "If you see her later, don't stop her, this is your eldest young mistress!"
Ning Mansion's gatekeeper: "..."
He glanced at Yang Zhen who was wearing men's clothes, and his face became complicated.
Others didn't know what he was thinking, Jiang Yunlan took Yang Zhen and walked in affectionately.
"When Lang'er came back just now, I wondered if you would come back with me, but now it's good, but it's true. Your father hasn't seen you yet, so I just asked him to meet him."
Yang Zhen was obedient, no matter what she said.
She was sitting in the main room, and the little maids who came to deliver tea secretly looked at her with their eyes, guessing her identity, and some little maids hid behind the cover and secretly blushed. After Yang Zhen sat for a while, Chuntao came to look for Jiang Yunlan, and Jiang Yunlan said, "Since you and Lang'er came back together, why don't you live in Lang'er's yard?"
Yang Zhen nodded without objection.
Jiang Yunlan added: "If you feel bored, when Lang'er comes back, let him take you to the capital for a walk. If you don't want to go out, you can go to her while Ah Nuan is still in the house."
Yang Zhen also nodded.
She followed the maid to Ninglang's yard and looked at everything in Ninglang's yard, but she was curious and looked around.
When Ning Lang came back, he was still a little disappointed.
"I went to Prince An's mansion, who would have known that Prince An was not in the mansion." Ning Lang said disappointedly, "I searched all over his mansion, but I really didn't find him, and I don't know where he went. He escaped."
Yang Zhen couldn't help joking: "You're going to hit him with your bare hands, won't he fight back?"
"That was in the past. I practiced for so many days, but it's not the same as before." Ning Lang said proudly, "Now he may not be able to beat me. He's definitely not your match."
Yang Zhen didn't answer.
Ning Lang added, "Why don't we secretly go to Prince An's mansion at night, he must be there at night."
Yang Zhen changed the subject and asked, "Who is Zhu Hanshan that you keep talking about?"
Ning Lang was stunned and said quickly, "When I take you to see him tomorrow, I forgot to tell him about you."
Yang Zhen nodded.
"And my father, I haven't seen you before." Ning Lang cheerfully said: "You have never been to the capital, and I will take you around tomorrow. There are many differences between the capital and Qingzhou. seen."
Yang Zhen responded.
"Also, when Ah Nuan and King An's marriage is done, it will be New Year's Eve, why don't you stay with me in the capital this year." Ning Lang said, "My mother definitely wants me to stay, and I can't let you alone. people go back."
Yang Zhen thought for a while and agreed.
Ning Lang couldn't be more happy, and he took her to introduce everything in his yard. No matter what he said, Yang Zhen was curious and fascinated.
At dusk, Ning Yanting also came back.
As soon as he came back, he heard about Ning Lang's return, and immediately became happy, so he went directly to Ning Lang's yard to look for someone. He was in a hurry, and he walked in without being notified.
"Lang'er! I heard that you came back, and you brought it back..." Ning Yanting had just finished speaking, when he saw the scene in the house, his face stiffened, and he swallowed the rest of the words.
Ning Lang was shocked, and hurriedly let go of Yang Zhen, blushing and said: "Dad, why did you come in without saying hello!"
"I..." Ning Yanting looked at him and then at Yang Zhen, stunned: "You...you..."
Ning Lang coughed and winked at him embarrassedly: "Father, you... you know."
What does he know!
Why is his son making out with a man? !
Ning Yanting only felt that the thunder fell from the sky, and it hit him on the forehead at once, and the whole person was stunned.
Yang Zhen was still dressed in men's clothes. When she stood with Ning Lang, she looked a little more heroic than Ning Lang. Due to her years of martial arts practice, she is tall and straight, and when she stands, she looks a bit more imposing than Ning Lang.
Ning Lang scratched his head and said to him again, "Father, what are you looking for with me?"
Ning Yanting: "..."
Ning Yanting said in a trance, "I heard that you are back... Lang'er, who is this son next to you?"
Ning Lang was immediately embarrassed: "Dad, didn't my mother tell you that she is my daughter-in-law."
Ning Yanting: "..."
Ning Yanting took a deep breath and staggered out the door, planning to find his wife to discuss.
When he went out, Yang Zhen realized it later and said, "Does your father think of me as a man?"
"..."
Ning Lang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately chased out: "Dad! Daddy, listen to my explanation!"
Everyone in the Ning family knew that their young master brought a man back, and it was the eldest young mistress that their wife personally admitted!
After listening to Jiang Yunlan's explanation, Ning Lang's explanation, Ning Nuan's explanation, and Yang Zhen, Ning Yanting couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could it be that his son has other preferences he doesn't know about
Otherwise, if you find a daughter-in-law, how can she look more like a man than his son
Listen to Ning Lang's introduction again, oh, he even beat a tiger!
Ning Yanting looked at his frail son, and then at Kong Wu's powerful daughter-in-law. Every time Yang Zhen raised his hand, his heart would tremble, for fear that the slap would fall on Ning Lang and beat his son down. Half-Life.
The next day, Ning Lang took Yang Zhen out of the house. The two went straight to Prince An's mansion, and when they heard that Prince An was not there, Ning Lang was suddenly disappointed, and then they walked around with Yang Zhen.
He heard Jiang Yunlan say that Zhu Hanshan had moved to the capital, so he asked Jiang Yunlan for the address and took Yang Zhen to see his own friend.
Zhu Hanshan was overjoyed to see him, and after a few greetings, his eyes fell on Yang Zhen: "This is..."
Ning Lang said, "She is the person I told you in the letter before, and she is the king of the mountain in Qinglong Village."
Zhu Hanshan suddenly realized.
Ning Lang's friend, he naturally also gave a good face, just as he was about to say hello to Ning Lang's new friend, he heard Ning Lang scratch his head again, and said embarrassedly: "I have worshipped the world with her, I am more than you. Older, you should call her sister-in-law."
Zhu Hanshan: "..."
Zhu Hanshan's face moved slightly, and his eyes calmly looked at the men's clothing on Yang Zhen's body.
Yang Zhen took the initiative to explain: "I am a woman."
Only then did Zhu Hanshan breathe a sigh of relief, but when he came back to his senses, he found that he was already covered in cold sweat.
"The tiger skin I sent you earlier was called by her on the mountain." Ning Lang said cheerfully, "She is so powerful that she can kill a wild boar with one fist!"
Zhu Hanshan nodded again and again, but the same worry as Ning Yanting was born in his heart.
Ning Lang had not come back for several months, and coupled with Yang Zhen who had never been to the capital, Zhu Hanshan took the initiative to lead the way and took them around the capital. In the capital, there are not many people who know Ning Lang well, but there are many people who know Zhu Hanshan. After he got to know Yuan, all the scholars knew him and took the initiative to befriend him. Now they see him on the road. , he also took the initiative to say hello.
When Ning Lang introduced, he naturally did not forget to show off his daughter-in-law.
When he met Zhu Hanshan, Yang Zhen was willing to take the initiative to explain, but when he met other irrelevant people, Yang Zhen didn't even have the desire to speak. Those scholars left with a strange look on their faces.
The scholars are really gossipy.
After a few people walked around the capital, Ning Yanting met his colleagues again, and some colleagues asked quietly: "I heard that the son of Ning's family has returned, and he has brought back a man?"
Ning Yanting: "..."
…
There was a man who lived in Ning's house, the eldest young lady. Ning Qing was in the old lady's yard. Although she had never seen it, she had heard of it. The people are not together on weekdays, and even when they are listening to the news, they only hear half of it.
When the news reached Ning Qing's ears, she was shocked, but she was also excited.
That Ning Lang is really not a good person. Not only is he ignorant, but now he is in love with a man... No matter how well Ning Nuan married, the Ning family is destined to have no future. Her eldest uncle and aunt are actually Being poured into the ecstasy soup can't be done, such an outrageous thing, even agreed, without the slightest objection!
Men and men can't have children, the Ning family is destined to have no offspring, so this big Ning family is not her brother's? !
Ning Qing's mind became active. Suddenly, she had a lot of confidence. She changed her previous habit of shrinking in the old lady's yard.
Not only that, she also wrote a letter to her parents, talking about Ning Lang.
Ning Qing walked around Ning's house, summoning the maids, and not treating herself as a guest. It was against the old lady's face, and many servants obeyed her orders. Jiang Yunlan has been busy keeping her feet off the ground recently, but she has no time to pay attention to her.
Ning Qing felt that she was already the master of the Ning family, so when she summoned her servants, she was very rude, and even dared to go to Ning Nuan's yard.
Ning Nuan was puzzled, wondering what she meant by suddenly coming over. But looking at Ning Qing's arrogance, she thought it was too funny.
"I heard that Sister Nuan is going to marry Prince An." Ning Qing said sourly, "Prince An is a prince. If you can marry Prince An, Sister Nuan is really high."
Ning Nuan didn't answer.
Ning Qing sighed again: "It's just that the lobby brother has never been able to do anything, and he won't be able to help Sister Nuan too much in the future. I don't know if King An will mind in the future."
"Mind what?"
Ning Qing said in a deep voice, "Brother Hall has always caused trouble, but don't bother you. If you make An Wang hate him, no one will be able to help you in the future."
Ning Nuan suddenly realized. It turned out that she had been holding back for so many days, but finally she didn't hold back and came over to speak sarcastically.
Xiang Tao said indignantly, "Miss Tang should be careful when she speaks. If Miss Tang can't speak, the servant will go and call Madam here!"
Ning Qing smiled: "Am I wrong?"
Xiang Tao was about to refute, but was stopped by Ning Nuan, who said, "Cousin is talking about cousin Ning Shuo."
"what?"
"Cousin's stealing exam questions, people in the capital still haven't forgotten. My cousin has been stripped of all his fame, and he will no longer be able to participate in the imperial examinations, and he doesn't know what to do in the future." Ning Nuan Said, "If you want to come to the Zhou family, you don't look down on an ordinary person."
Ning Qing blushed suddenly.
She said angrily: "Then what's wrong with your brother?! Even if Ning Lang goes to take the imperial examination, he will not pass the exam! Even if my brother doesn't go to be an official, he is naturally better than Ning Lang!"
Ning Nuan chuckled and didn't answer her words.
Ning Qing calmed down and sneered again: "You are just talking nicely here, there is no one in the Ning family who doesn't know about Ning Lang, he Ning Lang still wants to inherit the Ning family, don't let it go in the future. It would be better if the Ning family was destroyed in his hands!"
"How is my brother?"
"You still have to pretend that you don't know?" Ning Qing raised her chin and looked at her: "The eldest uncle and aunt are also confused. Ning Lang brought a man home, but they didn't object. Even if you marry Prince An , but Ning Lang is ignorant and inexperienced, and there will be no successors in the Ning family in the future. King An likes you now, but after a long time, Ning Lang has become a drag, and he naturally minds. Later, even if you came to him with something in your hand, he wouldn't want to look at you."
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan couldn't help but say, "You said my brother... brought a man back?"
"Isn't it?"
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan thought for a while and asked, "Have you told my brother this?"
Ning Qing looked at her suspiciously: "Of course not."
"Then you might as well go to him and tell him." Ning Nuan said sincerely: "Or tell my sister-in-law, the same is true."
If they finished listening, I am afraid that Ning Qing would not be able to stay in the Ning Mansion as proud as she is now.
Not to mention Ning Lang, Yang Zhen also protects his shortcomings. Ning Nuanxin said, Yang Zhen can kill a tiger with one fist, but I wonder if Ning Qing can withstand her fist
