bastard returns

, she gently opened the lid of the box.

Ning Rui'er stood in a very ingenious position, and at the same time the hand holding the brocade box was turned sideways, just enough for Han Tao, Ning Ruhai, Shen Shi, Yan Shi, and even many servants present to be able to see what was in the box. The situation, so that they can all see with their own eyes what good deeds Ning Yuan has done.She had already adjusted her expression, and she was ready to show the surprise that should appear after discovering the rip on the clothes, but when the lid of the box was opened, her originally adjusted expression collapsed in an instant.

How is this going!Ning Rui'er's face was pale, her eyes were staring like copper bells, her hands went limp for a while, the brocade box fell out of her hand, and hit her feet with a bang, the gaudy rags inside were at her feet Scattered all over the place.

There was no sound in the whole hall, even Shen's voice of shaking the tea cover disappeared, everyone seemed to be frozen, and looked at the rags at Ning Rui'er's feet with an expression of disbelief.Ning Rui'er was trembling all over, and almost stopped breathing, shouldn't there be only a gap!What's with this pile of rags!

Not only her, but Han Tao's face was pale when he saw this scene. Tomorrow is the court meeting. The emperor will go on tour, and all the officials in Beijing, Chinese, military, and even the imperial women will go to the canal to pick him up in court clothes. Sloppy, now that he is dressed in court clothes like this, what should he do tomorrow! ?

"Eh? Sister, shouldn't it be my elder brother-in-law's court clothes that you asked me to retrieve? What's the matter with this pile of tatters?" In Wan Lai's silence, Ning Yuan's tone that sounded very curious broke the stalemate in the main hall. Paired with the right expression on his face, it seemed that he really didn't understand what happened.

"You...you..." Ning Rui'er pointed at Ning Yuan, feeling that not only her hands, but also her legs began to weaken, and she was about to be unable to stand.Originally, there should be only one gap in the court dress!According to her original plan, the rip was enough to make Ning Yuan tear up, and it could be repaired in one night, without delaying tomorrow's work at all, but now the whole dress can't even see its original appearance, don't Said that one night, even if she was given a month, it would be impossible to return to her original state!What's even more frightening is that she did this without telling Han Tao, how should she explain to her husband?

"Yuan'er, what have you done!" Ning Rui'er was so angry that her throat was stuck in her throat, she couldn't speak, but there was still Mrs. Yan, their mother and daughter were fighting together, and Mrs. Yan naturally knew that things were bad Now, but the most important thing right now is not to worry about what to do tomorrow, but to take advantage of the gust of wind and clean up the people who need to be cleaned up!

"Mother, why can't I understand what you're talking about?" Ning Yuan looked at Yan Shi, and after a while, he suddenly realized, "Could it be that this pile of rags is brother-in-law's court uniform?"

"Third brother, you are too cruel! You ruined this court dress, what will your brother-in-law do when the court meeting tomorrow!" After hearing Yan's words, Ning Rui'er seemed to react, and fell to the ground very cooperatively , his face was as white as a piece of paper, "If my sister offends you in any way, you can tell her clearly, why did you do such a thing?"

"Sister Rui'er, you're wrong about me. I really don't know about this matter." Ning Yuan's expression was calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest hesitation or concealment in his words. I went to get it, but why the court clothes turned into a pile of rags, there must be something wrong with the store, you didn’t go to the store first, but instead bit me like this, what’s the reason? "

Ning Yuan spoke in a calm and orderly manner. Surprised by the scene in front of him, Shen Shi nodded frequently after hearing this, and said: "There may be a misunderstanding here, and the clothes are left to the store to be mended. Yes, if you have a problem, you should go to the store to ask for an explanation, don't put it on Yuan'er as soon as you close your eyes, Yuan'er won't, and there is no reason to destroy his brother-in-law's clothes."

"Grandmother, it's not that Rui'er wants to wrong my younger brother. It's because Sancuitang is a time-honored brand in Beijing. Such a mistake will definitely not happen. The clothes must have been damaged after they were taken out from there, except for those who went to pick up the clothes. Third brother, who can get in touch with this dress?" Ning Rui'er was full of anxiety, she was really panicked, she didn't act emotionally at all, "As for why the third brother ruined this dress, I have no idea Do not understand!"

"Madam, old lady, servant girl, servant girl should know something." At this time, a weak voice came out tremblingly, and everyone looked back, but they stood aside, Chunxiang, the maid beside Ning Ruier, Chunxiang saw everyone Looking at her, her expression became even more terrified. She knelt down, buried her head deeply, and said, "Last night, last night, when the slave girl passed by the door of the third young master's room, she saw, saw..."

Yan Shi couldn't wait to say: "What did you see, don't dawdle, tell me quickly!"

"The servant saw the supper that the kitchen sent to the third young master, and was taken out of the door by the third young master's maid!" Chunxiang gritted her teeth, and said this sentence as if she was cruel, "Our mansion I have always been thrifty, last night it was because Mr. Ning came that Madam ordered the kitchen to prepare top-quality black chicken soup for supper, and the ingredients were carefully selected. The servant was curious why the third young master had to throw away such a good thing, so she ordered it I wanted to go up and ask, but unexpectedly I heard the third young master in the room..."

Having said that, she raised her head and looked at Ning Yuan timidly, as if she didn't dare to continue.

"Quickly tell me what you heard, just tell the truth, no one here dares to embarrass you." Yan looked at Chunxiang leisurely, as if she couldn't wait for what she was going to say next, Chunxiang got Yan's assurance, Only then did he gather his courage, and raised his voice a little: "I heard the third young master say to the servants who served him in the room that our wife is clearly making things difficult for him today, and it's fine if we don't arrange a place for him at the welcome banquet. Even the food delivered at midnight is something pigs and dogs don't eat, it's really deceiving, we must find a chance for our wife to see how powerful he is."

"Kang Dang." The teacup in Shen's hand seemed a little unsteady, and she put it on the small table beside her.

Last night's supper was indeed black-bone chicken soup, and it was stewed very nourishing and thick, so Shen ate all the portion given to her, but now he heard Ning Yuan say that it was something "even pigs and dogs would not eat", Naturally, I feel bad in my heart.

"Yuan'er, is everything this girl said true?" Shen looked at Ning Yuan with a sullen complexion. Chunxiang's half-truth and half-false words were indeed suspicious, because the reception banquet in the Commander's Mansion was indeed not given to Ning Yuan. It is natural for Yuan to hold grudges for this reason, but it is too much to damage Han Tao's court clothes because of this.

Before Ning Yuan could say anything, Chunxiang kowtowed hurriedly and snatched away the conversation, "Returning to Mrs. Shen's words, what the servant girl said is true. I think the traces of dumping supper can still be found outside the door of the third young master's room." If you find it, slaves will never dare to lie!"

Ning Yuan remained silent for a while, watching the people in this room sing the show, and then slowly said: "Eldest sister, since you insisted that I damaged brother-in-law's court clothes, in your opinion, how should I deal with me?" .”

"Yuan'er, you are really confused. Your brother-in-law is an official of the court. If you damage his court clothes, you have violated the criminal law. How do you want your mother to help you!" With the appearance of a heartbroken and loving mother, he said according to his heart, and at the same time, his words were also reminding Shen Shi and Ning Ruhai that this was a criminal offense, and it was not easy to cover up.

"What else can I do? It's really stupid for this rebellious son to do such stupid things!" Ning Ruhai, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out. Of course, he could hear that there was something in Yan Shi's words, but what Yan Shi said was also reasonable, and he covered it up. One matter can be big or small, to put it bluntly, we are all a family, and it is not impossible to make big things into small things, but I am afraid that someone who wants to be caught and stabbed will have a big impact on the statement and official fortune.

"Even if the third brother made a mistake, it is my younger brother. As the eldest sister, how can I be so harsh on him, I should ask my father to decide everything." Ning Ruier wiped away the tears that did not exist in the corner of her eyes, and then The maid beside her stood up from the ground with the help of her.Ning Rui'er's words are natural, and she can leave herself clean. If she takes the initiative, Ning Yuan will be the eldest sister who doesn't care about her younger brother. What's more, what is Ning Yuan's current identity? The guests of their house, how can the master be harsh on the guests, it is just right to leave it to Ning Ruhai to deal with it, with what Yan Shi said before, and he has to take care of his own face, it is impossible for him to take down his face and punish him lightly.

"Forget it, this matter has already violated the criminal law. Tomorrow, Ning Yuan will be sent to Jingzhao Yin's yamen. We can do whatever we want!" Ning Ruhai said in a deep voice, already making a decision.Seeing this, Yan concealed the happy expression in his eyes, but still said in his mouth: "Yuan'er is still a child, are you really going to send it to Jing Zhaoyin? I heard that the torture tools in the yamen are like running water. If Yuan'er comes out What happened, how should I explain to Aunt Tang when I go back?"

"You don't need to explain, he is purely self-inflicted..." Before Ning Ruhai could finish his sentence, Ning Yuan suddenly interrupted him.

Ning Yuan stood there with his back straight, "Father, as the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you have to get dirty, and if you convict, you have to talk about evidence. There is no substantive evidence, but you have to order my child to damage the court clothes." My child can't afford to be accused of crimes."

"Third brother, why are you denying things when things have come to this point? After all, you will lose your own face if things go on like this." Ning Rui'er said heartbrokenly: "You were the one who took the court clothes, and it was you What you brought back was in your hands from the beginning to the end, but now it has become like this, it was not done by you, could there be someone else?"

"As Elder Sister said, whoever took this court dress is the one who damaged it?" Ning Yuan shook his head while sighing. In Ning Rui'er's confused eyes, he suddenly heard a clear voice from outside the door: "Madam Commander said so firmly, but I can't listen to it any longer. I have to say something fair for Brother Ning."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a handsome young man walking into the main hall with an unkind expression. Seeing that young man, everyone in the room widened their eyes in surprise, and Ning Rui'er even unconsciously said: "Jing Shizi, you Why are you here?"

"Naturally, Brother Ning invited me to chat with him, because he didn't want to disturb too many people, so he didn't inform Commander Han and Mrs. Commander, why did he just watch such a scene when he came here?" Jing Yi frowned slightly, turning Ning Yuan asked him to put on a charming expression, looked straight at Ning Ruier and said, "Madam Commander, what did you say just now, I heard it clearly outside, Brother Ning is concerned about my face I didn't tell the truth, but I didn't want him to be wronged. To be honest, I brought this brocade box for clothes from Sancui Hall on behalf of Brother Ning, and kept it in my carriage until I entered the mansion. It was only handed over to Brother Ning just a moment ago, and in such a short period of time, Brother Ning had no chance to make a move, according to what Mrs. Commander said, could it be that I, Jing Yi, were the ones who made the court clothes look like this!"

Jing Yi said this impassionedly, filled with righteous indignation, and acted in a full-fledged way to fight against injustice, which made everyone in the hall dumbfounded.

That's right, under Ning Yuan's guidance, Ning Rui'er did say that whoever took the clothes was the one who broke it. God knows that Jing Guogong's son jumped out at this time, swearing that he took the clothes , is Ning Ruier going to turn the gun around and say that Jing Yi broke the clothes?

I'm afraid if you give her ten guts, she doesn't have the courage to drag Jing Guogong's son into the water.

At this time, Ning Rui'er was already scolding in her heart, she knew nothing about the friendship between Ning Yuan and Jing Yi, and at the same time, she suddenly realized that the court clothes that should have only one hole turned into a pile of rags, It must be a masterpiece of the two of them working together, but what can she do now? Does she really want to say that Jing Yi broke the court uniform? Leaving aside the rest, I'm afraid that "the prince of Jing Guo deliberately damaged the court uniform commanded by the imperial guards" When the news spread, others would not say what happened to Jing Shizi, but would only say that the Han family had lost their minds.

Where is Jing Guogong's mansion, and who is Jing Guogong's son, if he said that his son broke Han Tong's court clothes, he also had to see that Han Tong didn't have such a big face.

Ning Rui'er's complexion changed continuously, and she felt as if she was riding a tiger for a while, but she still held her face and said: "What is Jing Shizi talking about, we have not entertained you well when you come to visit so suddenly, how can this matter be possible?" It has something to do with you, since the clothes have always been in your hands, maybe someone deliberately destroyed them while you were not paying attention, and I hope you don't trust villains." Ning Rui'er's accusations against Sang Huai were already very serious. Obviously, not only that, but she also looked at Yan Shi with begging eyes, wanting Yan Shi to help, but Yan Shi was obviously much smarter than her. At the moment after listening to Jing Yi's explanation, Yan Shi had already realized that today's No matter what, he couldn't do anything, so he just kept his mouth shut and his eyes lowered, showing that he had nothing to do with himself.

"Hmph, I don't think I'm as stupid as Mrs. Commander thinks." Jing Yi flicked his sleeves, "But since I'm involved in this matter, I definitely have no reason to ignore it. Damage to court clothes is also a matter of criminal law. If the commander's wife can trust me, I will go back and ask my father for orders, and ask my father to come forward and investigate this matter thoroughly, starting from the Sancui Hall, and we must make this matter come to light, so that those who make trouble Demons and ghosts have nowhere to hide."

Ning Ruier was frightened for a while, if Jing Guogong was really allowed to come forward, it would be fine, as soon as the incident got serious, it would be easy to find out that she bribed the servants of Sancuidang to tamper with the clothes, and when they got there At that time, they didn't care whether there was only one hole in the clothes or the whole clothes turned into rags, and no matter what happened to Jing Guogong's mansion, the boss behind Sancuitang would be the first to let her go.

A famous store like Sancuitang pays the most attention to its own reputation, not to mention, it is the property that the eldest prince has invested money in behind the scenes. If something that insults their brand is spread, the eldest prince will get angry, and Ning Ruier really wants it. I couldn't eat and walked away.

"This... this..." Ning Rui'er stuttered and was speechless for a moment. At this time, Han Tao, who had been sitting silently by the side, finally lowered his voice and said, "It's just a piece of clothing. It’s a big deal, if it’s broken, it’s broken, the big deal is that I’ll wear the old court clothes tomorrow, and trouble Jing Shizi to watch a joke, so let’s leave it at that.”

No matter what Han Tao said, he was the head of the family in the Commander's Mansion. He opened his mouth. Naturally, the others couldn't say anything. Ning Ruier stood there at a loss. Because of Jing Yi's appearance, things took a turn for the worse. She didn't expect it, especially when she found Han Tao looking at her with such angry eyes, it made her heart jump even more.

Han Tao made a sound, but he wanted to take the matter over and save Ning Rui'er's face, but Ning Yuan obviously wouldn't let them be so easily, and said again: "Brother-in-law can trust my innocence, it's naturally the best thing to do." It can't be better, but I believe that my brother-in-law is strict in running the family, and should I also take care of some slaves who tell the truth and splash dirty water everywhere."

Ning Yuan's words meant something, and when Chunxiang over there heard it, her expression flustered, she knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to Han Tao: "Master, this servant did not frame the third young master, what this servant said is true! "

Han Tao didn't go to see Chunxiang, but stared at Ning Yuan with sharp eyes like sharp swords. Ning Yuan looked at him unceremoniously. After a long while, Han Tao said: "This girl said that everything she said is true, third brother, don't you?" And how can it prove that she is framing you."

"I have been taught by the Ning Mansion since I was a child, and I also know the etiquette of being a guest. I can't do things like chewing the host's tongue. This girl framed me and nothing else. She actually framed me for saying I poured out the supper from my house and uttered lies. It was unbelievable. I had a poor appetite last night. The supper is still on the table in my room. I don’t know where this girl is. I was blindfolded by the lard that came, and I was able to say such inexplicable words." After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan said directly to Bai Tan behind him: "Go to my room and bring over the supper that I didn't use last night."

When Chunxiang heard this, she immediately turned pale. It's impossible. She clearly saw the supper being dumped with her own eyes. How could it be kept until today!

Bai Tan came back soon, and indeed he was holding a tray in his hand, on which were a plate of cold flower rolls and a cup of chicken soup with no oil in it, the specifications of the bowls and plates were the same as the standard bowls in the commander's mansion The plates were exactly the same, and the food inside hadn't been touched at all. Bai Tan held the tray and turned it around in front of everyone's eyes. Yan Shi only glanced at it, then lowered his eyes in hatred, and when Shen Shi saw the cup After seeing the things in the chicken soup, the corners of his eyes twitched and he let out a soft snort.

"Of course, I'm also very surprised. Just now Miss Chunxiang swore that last night's supper was the best black chicken soup, but my chicken soup contains skinny and boneless chicken. With the combination of chicken head and chicken ribs, there is not even blood. Put it clean, how can it be worthy of the word "good"? It must be these damned servants doing bad things, and I don't know what purpose they have, trying to drive a wedge between my elder sister and me, if I really pour this chicken soup Didn’t I just fall into your trick?” Seeing Chunxiang opening her mouth to speak, Ning Yuan continued to interrupt her, “Aren’t you still trying to argue that I prepared this thing separately? So I’m serious about it.” You have a lot of leisure time, not only did you get a set of tableware from the house, but also sneakily cooked a cup of chicken soup in the kitchen, just to tease your slave, what a shame you are!"

As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, Ning Rui'er walked over in two or three steps, raised her slap and slapped Chunxiang's face mercilessly, "Damn girl, why did you frame the third brother? It's almost going to be ruined by your cheap hoof!"

Chunxiang was beaten to the point of screaming, but she didn't dare to reply at all. Ning Yuan looked at this scene coldly, sneering in his heart, he never mentioned Ning Rui'er, and poured the dirty water on Chunxiang's body. In order to clear herself, Ning Rui'er went down this step. The master and servant who originally colluded to frame her turned into a dog-eat-dog situation, which is really wonderful.

"Enough!" Han Tao stopped the farce with a low voice, and said in a serious tone: "The slave loves to gossip, and even deceives the superiors with this kind of late-night supper to neglect the distinguished guests. Why do you waste your energy by doing it yourself? Tongue off, tendon in the hand picked, just beat out of the house with a stick."

Chunxiang was beaten by Ning Ruier until she had tears and snot running down her face. When she heard Han Tao's decision, she was completely stupid. Just as she asked for mercy, two servants came in and dragged her out. After a long distance, Chunxiang's screams could still be heard, Ning Rui'er's chest heaved violently for a moment, and finally she sat down dejectedly, and said to Ning Yuan with a half-smile: "It's because I didn't take good care of my servants, I really wronged my third brother."

"It's a mess like this, not to mention embarrassing, and disturbing the general and the old lady's cleanliness. Han Tao apologizes to you here." At this point, Han Tao stood up, cupped his fists at Ning Ruhai, turned around and stared. She glanced at Ning Rui'er and said, "Come with me!"

With a stiff face, Ning Rui'er also gave a blessing to Ning Ruhai and the others, and followed Han Tao step by step.

The two returned to their bedroom in the East Chamber. Ning Ruier just wanted to go up to comfort Han Tao, but Han Tao had already turned around, and a slap as big as a cattail fan was slapped on Ning Ruier's face without thinking. .

Han Tao had great strength, but Ning Ruier was slender. She was slapped in the face by this slap, and she didn't even have time to let out a scream before she flew out and bumped into a vase stand on one side, and a precious vase was placed on it. The enamel vase fell with a bang, turning into pieces all over the floor.

"Stupid woman! Look at what you've done!" Seeing Ning Rui'er and Yan's singing in the hall just now, Han Tao knew that this was definitely a moth made by Ning Rui'er without telling him, "You I have no objection to teasing that Ning Yuan, but you actually used my court clothes to tease him. How will you end up now? Do you want me to really wear the old court clothes tomorrow to make those censors laugh at me? !"

Han Tao was really in a hurry. He had no family background, and he relied on himself to get to where he is today. He already felt that he was inferior to those officials with rich families in Huajing, and he knew that other officials would secretly laugh at him. The commander of the guards is a savage, a bumpkin, he can't take it anymore, if tomorrow he doesn't even have a decent court uniform, those officials who have always looked down on him can say anything nasty in front of him, he will Look alike!

"Master, I didn't mean it." Ning Rui'er rarely saw Han Tao get angry like this, for a moment she forgot the pain in her cheek, hugged Han Tao's calf and said, "How did I know that kid would know Jing Shizi, Today it became clear that the two of them colluded together to embarrass me, if not, your court clothes, Mr. Xiang, would not have changed like that!"

Seeing that Ning Rui'er didn't know how to repent and was determined to blame others, Han Tao became even more angry, grabbed Ning Rui'er by the neck and lifted her up. His already dark complexion became more gloomy because of anger, "If you didn't pretend to be smart and wanted to tamper with my court clothes, then how could such things happen! Just be stupid, don't drag me to be stupid with you!" Han Tao got angry and slapped Ning Rui again. Two slaps made her eyes stare.

100 Husband and wife

During the years when Ning Ruier was married to Han Tao, relying on her being Ning Ruhai's daughter, she was very domineering and did not allow Han Tao to take in a concubine. Regardless of Ning Rui'er's objection, she wanted to accept her as a concubine, but Ning Rui'er couldn't resist, and pretended to accept it generously, but secretly sent someone to strangle the maidservant to death, and pretended to make her hang herself. Tao saw that all of this was caused by Ning Rui'er, but because of the face of Yue Zhang's family, he finally endured it and did not have another attack.

In the final analysis, the marriage between Han Tao and Ning Ruier is nothing more than taking what they need, without the slightest foundation of love. Yan's family took a fancy to Han Tao's official position and asked his daughter to marry him. Han Tao also accepted Ning Ruhai's old love For this marriage, Ning Rui'er had nothing to do in the past few years to make Han Tao depressed. Ning Rui'er didn't know how many times better, Han Tao finally found a gentle place, but because of Ning Rui'er's cunning, her beauty was withered, and her anger was always held in her chest. , quite appreciated by His Majesty, he no longer had the lack of confidence he had when he first took office, and he became more and more intolerable towards Ning Rui'er. Today, he used the imperial uniform to fight against Ning Rui'er, which can be regarded as a good escape from the depression in his heart. Qi.

Ning Rui'er was beaten until her cheeks turned blue, her mind became clouded for a moment and she didn't know how to react, when the burning pain could no longer be restrained, her usual arrogant temper was also aroused, but she was a woman In terms of starting hands, there is no comparison to Han Tao who wields knives and guns. He finally broke free from his restraint, but he could only run out of the room screaming, and went straight to Ning Ruhai's residence. I went to sue.

In the west chamber on the other side, Mrs. Shen had just taken the calming tea offered by Mother Luo and drank it before taking a bath, when she heard Mother Luo whisper: "Just now, the servant saw the young lady crying and went to the master and madam's room , presumably there was an awkward dispute with my uncle."

"Hmph, even doing such a shameful thing as playing tricks on my younger brother, I deserve to be treated by my husband." Shen was in a bad mood, and she really saw the midnight snack that Ning Yuan brought out at night. A pile of offal, even the servants would not be able to eat it. Thinking of the fact that Ning Yuan was not arranged for a seat at the banquet, no one can see that Ning Rui'er deliberately put Ning Yuan's little shoes on. Naturally, the mystery of court clothes must also be Ning Ruier's masterpiece.

"This stupid girl, even married as a woman, is still petty. She doesn't think about her own identity. The married daughter splashed water. She made a mistake and was scolded by her husband. Could it be that she is still trying to get her father to support her? "Chen Shi felt dark about Ning Rui'er's deceiving her, and she spoke rather meanly, "Just watch and see if the master will take care of her such nosy business."

Sure enough, it was exactly as Shen expected. Ning Rui'er only entered Ning Ruhai's room for a moment before being scolded with swollen eyes. She hurried back to the east chamber with her head buried. The slightest bit of arrogance is gone.

At this moment, Jing Yi was drinking a strange cup of tea in Ning Yuan's room.Ning Yuan sent someone to find fresh milk and boil it with the tea leaves. The fragrance of the tea is intertwined with milk, and the taste of the mouth is very unique. Jing Yi was very surprised when he drank it, and asked Ning Yuan where he learned such a strange way of making tea. .

Ning Yuan was curious, "You and Huyan Yuanchen have always been very friendly, but he hasn't even made this tea for you?"

"When I was with him, I always drank. There is no such leisurely time as drinking tea, and that kid Huyan Yuanchen has always been very indifferent to others, and he never showed off in front of me." Jing Yi drank two cups in a row, Only then did he burp as if he was full.

Ning Yuan found it strange that Huyan Yuanchen was indifferent?Indeed, that person had an indifferent face, but judging from the contact between the two, Ning Yuan didn't think that Huyan Yuanchen would be indifferent at all.

However, the topic between the two of them didn't last long on this, so Jing Yi dragged him and asked, "You big sister can use such insidious means to harm you, and you are not just sitting around waiting to die. Could it be that you asked me to kill you today?" Taking you to a brothel, buying that messy stuff at a pharmacy and a bazaar, is really trying to figure something out."

Ning Yuan just smiled and said nothing, and just kept a secret to him, "You will know when the court meeting tomorrow."

On the second day, because the emperor was on a tour, the entire city of Huajing was under martial law. The four major city gates were only allowed to leave and not to enter since the night before. The streets and alleys of Beijing are separated from the people on both sides who want to see His Majesty's real face, leaving a passage for Long Jia.

Because the Ning family came to Beijing as the leader of the Jiangzhou dragon boat, they waited at the pier in the capital early in the morning.According to the procedure of today's court meeting, the emperor will lead all civil and military officials to meet the common people on the long street in front of the palace gate, and then come to the wharf, first sacrifice to heaven, and then watch the dragon boat races of the leaders from all over the country to decide the final leader.

Wang Hu led the dragon boat team and entered the city last night before the city gate was closed. At this time, he was cleaning the oars in full swing in the shed specially prepared for the boatmen by the river. The deputy commander of the Jiangzhou garrison had been working for a long time I haven't been back to the capital yet, let alone showing my face in front of the emperor this time, I am very excited.

"Third Young Master, I heard that you live in the Commander's Mansion, so you must have met that kid Han Tao." Wang Hu chatted rudely to Ning Yuan while preparing, "I and that kid Han Tao were earlier. When Ning was under Lord Ning, he had a life-long friendship, but that kid was more willing to fight than me, and he was not dragged down by his parents. He liked to rush to the forefront of everything, so he could get to where he is today, but he is better than me too much!"

"Naturally, Commander Han is just like Brother Wang, he can be regarded as a hero among men." Ning Yuan said with a smile on the sidelines, and a fluttering compliment immediately made Wang Hu burst into a smile, but Ning Yuan He quickly added: "There is just one thing that makes me very strange. Commander Han is now my eldest brother-in-law. I thought that their husband and wife should be very affectionate, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be the case."

The smile on Wang Hu's face froze immediately after Ning Yuan said this. He looked around vigilantly and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he approached Ning Yuan and said in a low voice, "Third young master, this matter Is it that obvious already?"

Ning Yuan pretended to be ignorant, and pretended to be surprised: "Why, Brother Wang, you also know about this?"

"Hey, don't mention it. If Mrs. Yan hadn't come forward to act as a matchmaker and persuaded Lord Ning, that boy Han Tao would not have married the eldest lady." After Wang Hu finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate, and took Patting himself on the mouth, he said: "Of course I am not saying that the eldest lady is not good, but I know Han Tao's personality. It's fine at home, but the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of Lord Ning. She goes home like a bodhisattva and leaves it like this. She can't be neglected at all. She even has to be careful about her life, which makes that kid very unhappy. "

Wang Hu had a good relationship with Han Tao in the past, and he occasionally communicated with each other over the years. Han Tao was angry at Ning Rui'er at home, and couldn't find a place to vent, so he could only complain to his good brother.

"Well, I also know my eldest sister's temper. The eldest brother-in-law is really difficult." Ning Yuan sighed cooperatively, "Actually, I also feel sorry for the eldest brother-in-law. Sometimes my eldest sister does things too out of line. If it were someone else, maybe life would have been difficult for a long time, and my eldest sister once told her mother that she has no feelings for her eldest brother-in-law, if she hadn't cared about her status as the wife of the leader..." Speaking of this, Ning Yuan Seeing Wang Hu's face suddenly became stiff, he stopped talking immediately, just waved his hands and said, "I... Afterwards, I have to go to Commander Han for a drink to catch up on the old days." After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan left the shed without looking back.

During the day, noon is the most sunny time, and it is also the best auspicious time for the emperor to go on tour. It was almost noon, and accompanied by the deafening drums, there were forty imperial dragon sedan chairs carried by the Imperial Forest Army slowly from the main entrance of the palace. Walking out slowly, civil and military officials dressed in neat court uniforms followed behind the dragon sedan chair, and on both sides of the road, there were people kneeling on the ground in darkness, the scene was very solemn and quiet.

Han Tao was walking in the ranks of generals, within a short distance of three or five steps, he had already noticed several eyes sweeping over his body. Although he pretended to be calm on his face, he was already ashamed in his heart.

Because of Ning Rui'er's stupid things, the original court clothes became a bunch of broken steps. For today's scene, he could only dig out the court clothes that were kept in the bottom of the box a long time ago. The clothes he wore when meeting the emperor in the Golden Luan Hall were worn several years ago. Not only are the clothes old, but some of the white lines have also turned yellow due to the accumulation of time. Even so, many people noticed him, and even he could foresee that when he went to court in the future, there would be a letter of impeachment from the imperial censor, saying that He was disrespectful to the emperor by wearing old court clothes to attend court meetings.

Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed at Ning Rui'er. If it wasn't for that stupid woman who made her own decisions, how could things have come to this point? I have repeatedly tolerated her over the years because of my mentor Ning Ruhai. I think I have tolerated too much , It actually made her more and more lawless.

Facing the gazes of several people around, the huge team finally reached the edge of the pier, and a high altar had been set up in the middle of the pier, and people kneeling around the altar were all former The family members of the officials who came to attend the court meeting, Ning Ruier also knelt among the ladies in fancy clothes, but she was slapped by Han Tao a few times last night, and now the redness and swelling on her face have not disappeared.
