Chapter 52 (1/2)
After dinner, they were in ningyanting's study together. Jiang Yunlan told them about Mrs. Shang Shu.
She asked, ”do you remember what kind of man Liu was when you came back late? Mrs. Liu said that he was preparing for the autumn examination this year. Did he pass the exam? Did you become an official? ”
Ning Lang was a dandy in his last life. He knew nothing about it except eating, drinking and having fun. When Jiang Yunlan mentioned it, he couldn't even remember the name of Liu Shangshu's son. Only after careful consideration did Ning Yanting have some impressions.
”Is it Liu Hong?” Ningyanting pondered: ”if I remember correctly, Liu Shangshu's son later fell in the Tanhua and went to the Imperial Academy to do the compilation.”
Jiang Yunlan's eyes brightened: ”according to what you said, is that really the right person?”
”Just...”
”Just what?” Jiang Yunlan was in a hurry.
Ning Yanting frowned and thought again and again, but still could not think of any clue. ”Although Liu Hong is the son of Lord Liu, he is not as outstanding as his father. After entering the Imperial Academy, he has not been very impressive Wait a minute. You said it was Mrs. Liu herself who told you that? ”
”Yes.” Jiang Yunlan said: ”Mrs. Liu not only told me, but also talked to Mrs. Zhou. Ning Qing listened to Mrs. Zhou and came to find a'nuan specially today. Ah'nuan knew something earlier than me.”
Hearing Ning Qing's name, Ning Lang immediately got up in a hurry: ”Ning Qing? She's looking for ah Nuan? How come Xiangtao didn't come to me to report the news. Niang, you are not at home. Ah Nuan was bullied by her. What can I do? ”
”Ah Nuan can't be bullied by her. I heard Xiangtao say that when Ning Qing left, she was very angry. She never got any advantage in ah'nuan. ”
”That's not necessarily true. Before the separation of the family, ah Nuan's jewelry and those good things came to her first and then distributed to ah Nuan? Isn't this just being bullied by Ning Qing? ” Ning Lang was indignant: ”every time a Nuan is bullied, he doesn't say it. Not only me, but also your parents. You never know how to protect ah'nuan and how many grievances she suffered.”
Jiang Yunlan stares round eyes and looks at him in disbelief.
Not to mention that Ning Nuan always goes to Ning Qing to find a place when he is bullied. He only says that although Ning Lang's accusation is tenable, it is clear that their brothers and sisters are the closest. How many times has Ning Lang seen such things, but which one cares? Now it's reasonable to blame them?!
Jiang Yunlan eyebrows a vertical, open mouth is about to open scolding, Ning Lang first step acutely feel her anger, help to look at ningyanting in the past. Ningyanting had a headache and quickly stood out to persuade him: ”well, now it's not about Liu Hong?”
Jiang Yunlan glared at her son and then asked Ning Yanting, ”well, what did you say about Liu Hong before?”
Ning Yanting's eyebrows wrinkled again. His hands were behind him and he walked back and forth in front of the table for a long time. Then he suddenly remembered something. He quickly grasped Jiang Yunlan and asked, ”Mrs. Zhou you just mentioned is Zhou Qing, the Minister of rites?”
”Isn't it true that the son of Zhou, who was engaged to Ning Qing, is not the son of Lord Zhou, the Minister of rites?”
Ning Yanting suddenly: ”I've forgotten this.”
”What?” Jiang Yunlan wondered, ”what have you forgotten?”
”You forget, why did Ning's family get into trouble? It's because the second brother and the third brother secretly took part in the affairs of the princes' seizing the throne from us Ningyanting flustered: ”after I came back, I was in a hurry to separate my family from my second and third younger brothers, which is also for this.”
Jiang Yunlan was shocked, even Ning Lang also showed a terrible color.
”The Zhou family and the Liu family...”
”The Zhou family and the Liu family have a good relationship, but they are all standing behind the big prince.” Ning Yanting sighed heavily: ”at that time, Ning Yanwen secretly worked for the emperor's son. He didn't want to poke the basket. The east window incident involved our family. It was at that time that something went wrong. Yunlan you accidentally bumped into the pillar, didn't you?”
Jiang Yunlan nodded.
”I just thought it was Ning Yanwen who made the trouble all by himself. It turned out that even the Zhou and Liu families had been with him all the way?”
”Mrs. Liu took a fancy to ah Nuan and asked Mrs. Zhou to tell her that it was the same idea. If a'nuan married into the Liu family, even if it was for the sake of ah Nuan, we would have to tie up with the Liu family and the eldest prince.” Ning Yanting lowered his voice and said, ”you went early, but lang'er didn't care about these things. Later, several princes fought against each other, and many people in the imperial court stood in line. If any Prince lost power, it would be...”
”Dad.” Ning Lang hurriedly said, ”what about you? Who are you standing on? ”
”I don't want anyone to stand!” Ning Yanting glared at him: ”I've thought about it all my life. This muddy water will not be mixed in anywhere. It will save me from losing my life as early as I did in my previous life. In this life, I will see ah Nuan get married, give birth to my grandson, and you. Even ah Nuan was married in my last life, and I haven't seen my daughter-in-law. ”
Ning Lang immediately begged for mercy: ”Dad, this is a good end, how to talk about this again.””When will my daughter-in-law be brought back?” Ningyanting didn't have a good temper: ”you are not young. Don't wait for a Nuan to get married in this life. You haven't been engaged yet.”
”Don't worry about it, Dad. Don't think about it. In terms of your son's reputation, what kind of girl is willing to marry your son?” Ning Lang didn't care about the way: ”just wait for me to take the exam, at that time, it's not difficult to get married?”
Jiang Yunlan said uneasily, ”well, I'm going to say no to Mrs. Liu.”
She stopped and looked at Ning Lang: ”in my last life, you died the last time. Do you know which Prince won?”
