C46 Chengan (1/2)
On the other hand, Qin Yu Ling's face was getting redder and redder. A watery red colored kernels was rubbing her hands, its sharp knuckles quickly pulling some of its silk. She stood up and suddenly said, ”I haven't seen Sister Sheng in a long time.”
Madam Qin frowned, ”Sit!”
This daughter of hers had been spoiled by her, but seeing her daughter act so charmingly, her heart softened and she said in a low voice, ”It will be better after the results are released.” Even though Nie Jingyun was quite talented when he was young, he was already twenty. If he were to fail today, he would have to wait another three years before being tested as a High Scholar … At that time, it was impossible for her daughter to marry him.
”Mother's words are wrong,” Qin Yuling said in a hurry. ”If Second Brother Nie goes to high school after the announcement, wouldn't it make us look snobbish if we went there again?” With that, he ignored the Madam Qin and stood up to go to his own courtyard to prepare.
Madam Qin was so angry that he gasped for breath.
Her trusted aide, the mama, quickly called for Qin Si to come over.
On the way over, Qin Si heard someone say, when he saw Madam Qin, he did not open his mouth, and instead added fuel to the fire, ”Mother, I think what little sister said is reasonable! Furthermore, just visiting Sister Sheng won't affect her reputation. ”
Madam Qin said, ”Then wouldn't it be better to invite Nie Sheng to our house?”
The mother and son duo parted on bad terms.
Qin Si also felt that his mother was snobbish. Needless to say, if Nie Mo really failed, the marriage between them and the Nie family would be over.
Marriage is about the matrimonial order of parents, ”Mencius” said, ”do not wait for the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, drilling holes to peer into each other, over the wall, parents and countrymen are cheap.”
While there is a suspicion that this statement does not respect the real intentions of the parties, it is undeniable that the benefits appeared to be greater than the disadvantages at the time.
The Madam Qin thought that Nie Mo needed to investigate because the inheritance of the Nie clan was the same as the Qin Manor. The eldest son and grandson were able to exhaust almost 90% of the family's wealth and connections, to put things bluntly, even if Nie Run were to have a chance, it might not necessarily be his turn. Nie Run still had a son.
From a certain point of view, Nie Mo was Nie Run's support and also his threat. The Nie clan would eliminate such a threat, and only allow Nie Mo to leave behind a support role.
Sometimes, threats could be a form of learning, sometimes it could be a form of fame, and sometimes it could even be a form of support from one's wife.
Madam Qin needed to know to what extent Nie Mo had learned before he could decide whether or not he should fight for his daughter's marriage fate. Elder Nie had already revealed his intention to marry, but Madam Qin's intentions were the same as Old Master Qin's;
To be able to say that Nie Mo had not been suppressed to such an extent that he was not depressed, at that time, the Qin Manor would naturally help Nie Mo out. In the future, when they get married and have a place in the Scholar rankings, they would be able to become small officials in the Sixth Department, and with each step that they took, they would be able to improve their qualifications.
It was a pity that both the Madam Qin and Qin Yu Ling felt that what the Madam Qin was thinking was too far away from reality.
Qin Yu Ling was about to go out, so she wrote a letter to Nie Sheng, saying that she missed him. Then, she read about the Immortal Phoenix Flower Red Thousand Floor, which she picked in her courtyard.
Nie Sheng accepted the invitation and quickly agreed. She also invited Qin Yu Ling over for lunch.
With a complicated Ling Yun bun on her head and a golden hairpin on top of her head, she wore a deep red robe. Her sleeves were embroidered with an inch wide light pink, and beneath her feet was a pair of golden shoes. She stretched out her arms and turned around, nodding in satisfaction as she walked out of the room.
Qin Si waited at the entrance of the mansion, ”I'll send my sister there.” If Nie Mo knew about the ceremony, he should have brought his sister back.
Unfortunately, Nie Mo left early in the morning.
”He went out?” Qin Yu's eyes widened as he asked in astonishment.
Nie Sheng nodded her head, ”Yes, third brother and fourth brother want to borrow books from second brother, but second brother is not in the study room, and is not in the litchi garden. They sent people to ask me, and I just found out that second brother went out.”
The sunlight at noon was not too uncomfortable. Although it was a bit hot, Nie Mo could use the moving air conditioner, so the inside of the horse carriage was quite comfortable.
Unfortunately, they had come out at a time like this, and after the event was over, his friend had brought his family to the countryside of the capital, called the county, and the Yu Mu had naturally been brought over as well.
Nie Mo had no choice but to instruct the coachman to go to the countryside. They had been on their way all morning.
It was not the first time he had ridden in a carriage, but he did not feel unwell or unwell at all. She stealthily pulled a bit and discovered that the carriage was covered by a thick layer of thatch, then by a blanket, and finally by a brocade blanket. It was no wonder that the carriage didn't jolt.
Why was he so excited to see his mother? The blood relation was really that amazing. She clearly felt in her heart that her parents were modern people and their appearances should also be different from the Yu Fu s. However, she still couldn't help but rely on them.
”Have you met yesterday's Prince Li before?”
After Nie Mo asked why he was in a daze, he could only ask again.
How did he come back to his senses? He shook his head.
Nie Mo did not ask anymore, he poured a cup of water from the table and poured it for Yun Zhi, ”Drink some water, your lips are dry.”
Why did he put the teacup into the bowl on the table after drinking it?
The horse carriage had already traveled for more than two hours when Nie Mo stretched his legs and changed his posture. His right hand naturally rested on Xia Zhi's waist.
Then, he smiled and said, ”You should also move about so that your legs won't become numb when you get off the car later.”
How could he feel that his legs had gone numb? He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that Nie Mo's jinx was really sharp.
She lowered her head and struggled to move her legs. The pain and numbness she felt was terrible, suddenly the light in front of her dimmed, and Nie Mo leaned forward, blocking the light of a window.
