Da Suining

Chapter 85
It's a pity that the plate of cantaloupe is white and fresh.

commit a sin.

Xiangguo murmured, "Third sister, why are you taking it out on me, the cantaloupe didn't do anything wrong."

"Hami melon is not wrong, it's you who is wrong, Xiang Guoxin—" Xiang Yan pushed Xiang Guoxin angrily, and pushed Xiang Guoxin to sit on the ground: "Your mouth is talking nonsense, and the second prince is spreading rumors." The marriage, see if I don't tell dad to let him beat you."

Ever since she was a child, Xiang Guoxin was used to it even if sometimes Xiangyan looked at Xiangguoxin with dislike, at most she said a few harsh words, but today is different, Xiangyan directly pushes Xiangguoxin down, it seems that she is I'm really angry, the force of pushing people is still great, like a man.

Xiang Guoxin also felt aggrieved: "Third Sister, let Dad beat me if I talk nonsense."

"I said you were talking nonsense, so you are talking nonsense, and you dare to talk back." Xiang Yan put her hands on her hips.

Well, there is no reason to talk to her.

If she continued, she would cry again.Xiangguo felt dizzy when he heard Xiangyan crying like a mouse in the night.

"I'll tell dad to go." Xiangyan still cried, and ran to the front yard with her back shaking, her legs and feet were quick, and she disappeared after a while.

Xiang Daying is still in the study. He has been in the study since he came back from the palace. He is the first official in the scholarly family. He has not written or drawn in the study for a long time. Today he wrote two large characters, but he couldn't write smoothly. Either the ink was dry, or the paper was wrinkled, or the force was too light, a few paper balls were formed, and the bamboo basket was almost full, but I still had no clue.The time for a stick of incense passed again, the sky outside the window was getting late, the color of the window paper changed from white to gray, the setting sun fell on the wall, and the surroundings began to fall into the chaos of the evening, with gray everywhere.

Xiang Daying has already sent the housekeeper Zhang Quan to call Xiang Suining.

When Xiang Suining came to the study, it was like a black net had been cast in the sky. The black net was so huge that it covered the sky and the ground, the buildings and the long walls. Except for the lights of the lanterns, you couldn't see anywhere else.

Xiang Suining sat silently on the bench next to the window in the study, because the light from the candle was not very bright, so she pulled out the hairpin and gently flicked the candle wick.

The candle wick jumped, and the study suddenly lit up.

Xiang Daying's face also lit up, and he used his hands to write another large character. Not knowing whether the writing was good or not, he threw away the brush and sat down on the ebony chair.

Under the shadow of the lamp, he looked a bit old, it seemed that he had been very haggard for the past two years, logically he was served by Tang Xiaoniang, with a lot of salary, and he was not old, Xiang Daying should be high-spirited, embarrassing, and talented.Why does he look like a piece of rotten wood now?Just when he was about to fight Suining, he burst out with heroism.

Xiang Suining didn't speak first, she was used to it, and it's best to be cautious in words and deeds in front of Xiang Daying, if she doesn't say something right, she will suffer again.

Xiang Daying couldn't hold back at first, and asked Zhang Quan to watch outside the door. He sighed, straightened his robe, and sat upright, like a Bodhisattva in a temple: "Suining——"

He has always been called "Second Girl" or "You", but I still don't quite get used to hearing him called Suining.

In particular, the sound is the same as that of an ox pulling a cart. It is very long and has echoes. No matter how you hear it, you are not used to it.

Xiang Suining let out a "hmm".

"You are the daughter of my Prime Minister Daying. You also know that our ancestors came from a scholarly family. All of them are talented, handsome, and accomplished. You are a capable person who accompanies the emperor, so the emperor takes pity on you and looks good on you."

It is strange that Xiangyan is so boastful, it is all inherited from Xiang Daying.

Xiang Sui listened quietly, staring quietly at the dancing candle, not knowing when Xiang Daying would end the conversation, she was still waiting to go back to study pharmacology, because of her mother's madness, other doctors would Xiang Suining was always unwilling to say that there was no cure, but he didn't know much about Chinese medicine, and he didn't know how serious his mother's illness was. Fortunately, that boy Lu Yu took pity on her and gave her a few medical books and a basket Medicinal materials, there is nothing to do at night these days, Xiang Suining has to read medical books for a while before going to bed.

Talking with Xiang Daying is much more boring than seeing a doctor.

Prime Minister Daying usually did not communicate with her in such words during the holidays.

"Suining, it's your good fortune that the emperor has taken a fancy to you. Since our ancestors, we have never had a princess in our family. If you marry Guo Kai in the future, when Guo Kai becomes king, you will definitely have a princess. "Xiang Daying said with emotion: "If you are a princess, it will be regarded as a glorious lintel for our Xiang family. If God opens his eyes and the second prince Guo becomes the emperor in the future, then you may be the queen. This will be recorded in the history books, Suining It is a great honor to be recorded in the history books. There are so many women in Xuanguo, let alone tens of thousands, how many of them can be recorded in the history books, right?"

Xiang Suining does not want to be recorded in history, nor does he want to be different.

She just wants to live a simple life.

But it is a simple job, and some people block it.

Didn't Xiang Daying think she was as easy to coax as a three-year-old?So Guo Cheng looks like an emperor?When he went down, the emperor's throne would explode.

He is the emperor, his wife is the queen, he will be a prisoner later, his wife will probably lose her legs as soon as she stretches out, since ancient times, there are not many things in the palace, and the princess may not be a good job, let alone Guo Kai's princess.

Xiang Suining was not tempted.

Xiang Daying felt that he was bragging, and he was a little embarrassed: "Suining, speaking of it, marrying the second prince is not a disadvantage. You also know that I have always been partial, so why didn't I let Yan'er marry him?"

"Because the emperor has taken a fancy to me." Xiang Suining's voice was cold.

Xiang Daying felt ashamed, so there was no way to chat with such an answer.

The candlelight jumped again, and Xiang Suining's little face was also red, looking through the candlelight, Xiang Daying found that her daughter was quite attractive, she was not as ugly as before, it was strange that the emperor had blue eyes.

"Suining, there is nothing wrong with marrying into the royal family. There is always something to eat and drink. The second prince Guo is the second child and has great strength. How can you be wronged if you follow him?"

"Can't beat it."

"You—" Xiang Daying blushed, stood up and paced the room with his hands behind his back, trying to persuade like an old woman: "If the Second Prince Guo took you, it would be too late to hurt you, so why would he beat you? The second prince is strong and has a long life. If you follow him, you will grow old together. Why don't I let Yan'er do such a good thing? It's because Yan'er is younger and has a childish temper. Marrying the royal family is so big If she messes up the matter, wouldn't it mean that the family will be affected? You are much better, you are older and more stable than her, you and the second prince Guo, look at it, you are a good match."

Xiang Daying thought of these words somewhere, Xiang Suining was thirsty when he said it.

How could Xiang Daying not know Guo Cheng's character?It is well known in Qingcheng that he molested noble girls.

This is really a dear father.

Xiang Suining yawned: "Father, are you finished? I'm going back after I finish. I still have a pile of herbs in my room waiting for me to take care of them."

"Although the emperor has taken a fancy to you, after all you are young, the emperor has to observe and observe again, but the emperor will not change his mind easily, and you should prepare in advance for marrying Guo Wei."

"What are you going to prepare?" Xiang Suining looked up at him, "Could it be that father still wants to prepare a generous dowry for me?"

Xiang Daying was ashamed.

How did the emperor like this sharp-mouthed daughter?
Guo Cheng should quickly carry her away.

Without a common language, it is very awkward to be in the same room.

"You should think about it again." Xiang Daying sighed: "The emperor asked me to discuss it two or three times. Anyway, our daughter is still going to marry Guo Kai. Whether you think about it or not is the same thing." result."

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold air poured in.

Xiangyan's eyes were swollen like peaches, and a stream of snot flowed out of her nose. She jumped in and hugged Xiang Daying's arm: "Father, you don't love me anymore."

"What is Yan'er doing here?"

"Why can the second girl come, but I can't? Or is it because dad is whispering to the second girl here that he dare not let me know?"

Xiang Daying bared his teeth.

Xiang Suining couldn't help laughing, what she didn't want was Xiangyan's heart.

Look at the pain of Xiangyan crying, Xiang Daying closed his mouth and didn't speak, Xiangyan forced Xiang Suining: "What did Dad tell you about you?"

Xiang Suining is a person who speaks his mind, and he doesn't hide anything: "Father has discussed with the emperor, and he plans to marry me to Guo Kai in a year or two. When the time comes, I will be a ready-made wife in his residence." Concubine, live to eat and drink hot food, and die to be recorded in the annals of history, her name will last forever, and the incense will continue."

These words stepped on Xiangyan's tail.

Xiangyan jumped up with a "wow" and said, "Father—it's all because of you."

"It's none of my business." Xiang Daying quickly threw the blame on the emperor: "It's all the emperor's idea."

Xiangyan was annoyed, but she couldn't scold the emperor, so she rolled up her sleeves, climbed up to the long desk in the study, stretched out her hand, and tore an old painting into several pieces, and picked up some of the old paintings in the porcelain vat. Throwing a picture scroll on the ground, Xiang Daying's inkstone was thrown out of the window by the way. Even the words Xiang Daying just wrote on the desk suffered, and Xiang Yan threw it on the ground and stepped on it several times.

After Xiangyan's fuss, she was sweating, her bun was loose, and the pearls in her hair were crooked.

Normally, she was rarely wronged, and even if she was wronged, she would not dare to come and make trouble in Xiang Daying's study. You must know that some of the calligraphy and paintings in the study were rewarded by the emperor. Yes, those porcelains on the shelves even have a history of 300 or [-] years. How much money was washed away by Xiangyan's disturbance.

Meat hurts.

Xiang Daying was a little angry, he talked as he spoke, why did he still touch things, he had to be educated: "Yan'er, I'm talking to the second girl, what's the matter with you?"

"Father shouldn't be behind my back."

"I told the second girl that the emperor wants her to marry Guo Kai, what has it to do with you?"

"Second girl, are you willing to marry the second prince of Guo?" Xiangyan pressed her every step of the way, her chest heaved and she spoke very fast, wishing to shoot thousands of arrows from her mouth, and stick Xiang Suining on the wall superior.

Xiang Suining didn't panic: "What's the use if I don't want to marry, but the emperor likes me, and my father is willing too."

Xiangyan's tears were like broken beads: "Father, did you hear what the second girl said? She doesn't want to marry. Since she doesn't want to marry, why don't you marry me? I am willing."

For Guo Kai, Xiang Yan also fought hard.After all, the emperor's decree is no better than the matchmaker's words, the emperor likes it, and he has to agree to let Guo Cheng marry a cat or a dog.

How good it is without Guo Wei, it doesn't taste good when you eat it.

Unable to be reserved anymore, Xiang Yan threw herself into Xiang Daying's arms: "Father, just tell the emperor, anyway, they are all daughters of Xiang's family, and they received the same tutoring, and I am better than the second girl. Marry, the emperor will not suffer."

What is this nonsense.

I have never seen such a brazen daughter.

Xiang Suining's eccentricity was enough to annoy him, but the third daughter said such outrageous words like crazy again.

I still remember that there used to be a noble girl in Qingcheng. The matchmaker told her about a good marriage. The mud pit actually drowned a person. No matter what, the lady refused to believe it. She believed it when she saw the boy lying upright in the coffin. That kid is gone, and after a few years, it is said that she and that kid are married, and after a while, they hold a vegetable pot and say that they have given birth to a son.Been crazy for half my life since then.

A woman is obsessed with a man, and if she doesn't make it right, she will go crazy.

Xiangyan's words were also quite bewildered.

With a sullen face, Xiang Daying called Zhang Quan and said: "You take the third girl to her mother, and let her mother teach her well. If she is so bewildered again in another day, don't blame me for being angry."

Zhang Quan left Xiangyan wearing his belt.

The atmosphere in the study was even more awkward.

Xiang Suining tentatively asked, "Father, should I go... or not..."

"Get rolling." Xiang Daying waved his hand.

Finally let go.

Thank goodness.

Xiang Suining didn't dare to turn his head back, fearing that Xiang Daying would repent, he left the study and went back to the house.

Candles were brightly lit in the room.

While shaking the cattail fan, Mingzhu lowered the curtain from the hook, checked that there were no mosquitos in the tent before exiting, lit a benzoin, and put down the cattail fan to make a pot of tea.

As soon as Xiang Suining returned to the room, she went up to greet her: "The girl is back? Did the girl not get beaten?"

Even Mingzhu was frightened by Prime Minister Daying and had sequelae, who told him that recruiting Prime Minister Suining would not be a good thing.

"It's all right, it's fine." Xiang Suining turned around, his sky blue shirt fluttering in the wind, and a simple beaded flower on his temples gave off a little white light.

"It's good, it's good, it's good. I'm about to put away the medicinal materials given by Mr. Lu. Do you still want to read the book? If you want to read it, I'll light an extra candle. The medical books are small. Don't take the girl's My eyes are broken."

"Okay." Xiang Suining sat cross-legged under the window, Mingzhu removed the two snacks from the small table, packed the spread herbs and put them back in the box, and wiped the small table again with a rag before putting it away Bring up the medical books.

While Xiang Suining was reading, she was shaking the fan on the sidelines, and she was worried that the sound of shaking the fan would distract Xiang Suining, so the force in her hands was light and cautious.

Xiang Suining flipped through a few pages of the book, his eyes were very astringent, put down the book and rubbed his eyes, Mingzhu had already poured tea and handed it over: "Girl is tired from reading, drink some tea to moisturize."

Although Mingzhu is not very literate, she is dedicated to serving Xiang Suining.

The lantern at the door was about to be extinguished, and the woman climbed up on the bamboo ladder to change candles, but the bamboo ladder fell and touched the window, making a creaking sound.

Mingzhu hurried over to check, and after confirming that the mother-in-law was fine, she told her: "Young lady is reading, you should be more careful, so as not to distract the young lady."
