Tie Kui Extra Story (46)
Ning Hai wanted to be transferred to places like Xihai or Yunnan, so he made a note on this matter.
Yuxi summoned him, and when he entered the imperial study, she put down the notebook in her hand and asked, "Why does uncle want to go to Xihai and Yunnan?"
All the generals in the court wanted to go to Changzhou. In this way, with Liaodong in the future, they can lead troops to attack Liaodong. In this way, more military exploits can be made naturally. Naturally, Ning Hai also wants to make contributions, but he knows that there are so many powerful generals in the court, and there is no shortage of someone like him who has come here halfway.
Ning Hai said: "Empress, wherever you go, you will protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
This is a lofty statement.
Yu Xi said: "I have already discussed with He Rui, and I am going to let my uncle go to Changzhou."
But instead of asking Ning Hai to guard Changzhou City, he was asked to guard a county below Changzhou.
Ning Hai hesitated.
Yuxi said: "Uncle, the emperor and the Donghu people have a deep blood feud of killing their father and mother. When Liaodong is conquered in the future, there will definitely be a big war between the imperial court and the Donghu people. You have stayed in Tongcheng for ten years, and you must have certain feelings for the Donghu people." Understood. In the future, we will definitely send you to Tongcheng." And this is unmatched by other generals.
Having said this, if you push it further, you are afraid of death. Furthermore, Ning Hai also knew that it was for his sake: "Empress, when are you leaving?"
"Don't worry about this matter, you can go to the post next month." Now winter is the season of truce.
Yun Qing entered the imperial study room and saw Yu Xi sighed: "What's the matter? Uncle, don't you want to go to Xishan County?" None of the generals in the court today would want to go to Xishan County.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "He agreed to go to Xishan to show up. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable."
Yunqing was puzzled.
Yuxi said: "Uncle was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among other generals, so he wanted to avoid Changzhou and go to other places. He acted too cautiously." From this, it can be seen that Ninghai has had a difficult time these years.
Yun Qing held Yu Xi's hand and said: "Don't be sad, everything is over, and it will only get better and better in the future." It wasn't easy for them at the beginning, but luckily they got through it.
When Ning Hai returned home, he heard that Ruyi went to the home of the second master of the Xiao family with Xiao today as a guest, but accidentally fell into the pond. At that moment, he hurried to visit Ruyi.
If you wish to see Ninghai,
There was timidity in his eyes. Under Ning Hai's puzzled eyes, Ruyi called out in a low voice: "Father."
"What did the doctor say?"
Xiao said: "The doctor prescribed medicine and said that a few doses of medicine will dispel the coldness in the body, and I will come back for a follow-up visit tomorrow." When he said this, his tone was a little unnatural.
Ning Hai hummed, and said to Ruyi, "Then take the medicine and take a good rest." After speaking, he got up and went out.
Ning Hai was sitting on the armchair, when he saw Xiao Shi looked up at her, he didn't ask any questions.
Xiao was most afraid of his appearance, but for the sake of her daughter she still insisted and said: "Ruyi accidentally fell into the pool today, Guangyue rescued her."
"Guangyue? Who is that?"
Xiao said cautiously: "It's my second sister-in-law's natal nephew. I mentioned this child to you before." She was very satisfied with Mao Guangyue, but Tie Kui didn't like this child very much. But looking at it now, the two children must be a destined marriage.
How meticulous is Ning Hai's mind, otherwise he would not be alive now: "Don't tell me, this is just a coincidence?"
Xiao Shi had originally prepared his speech, but after hearing the cold words, he shuddered.
Holding the handle of the chair, Tie Kui said coldly, "Say, what's going on?"
Xiao didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Ruyi said that she was talking with Lingzhu in the garden, and the two walked to the edge of the pond, but for some reason she stepped on the air and fell into the pond. Then, by chance Guangyue, who was a guest at the second brother's house, was rescued."
Ning Hai thought about Ruyi's expression just now, and asked, "Have Ruyi met Mao Guangyue before?"
Xiao said with a hum, "I've seen it once, but it was just to say hello, without saying a word."
Ning Hai originally thought that Ruyi had something to do with Mao Guangyue, but now it seems that he thought too much. Ruyi has always been well-behaved and is still young, and she has not yet learned about men and women, so she should not be able to do such a thing that humiliates her family.
The fact is indeed the case, Ruyi will feel timid when she sees Ning Hai because she feels that she has lost face to the Ning family today, and is afraid that Ning Hai will scold him. It's also because Ning Hai is too busy on weekdays and spends very little time with his two daughters. As a result, two daughters, one fears him and the other dislikes him. Fortunately, Ruhui's attitude towards him has changed a lot.
Xiao said: "Master, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Knowing that Ruyi didn't give or receive anything privately, the expression on Ning Hai's face eased a lot: "What should I do? It was just an accident."
"But at that time, so many people saw Guangyue hugging Ruyi..." According to Xiao's idea, in order to preserve Ruyi's reputation, he hurriedly engaged the two of them. In this way, it is good for both of them. Unexpectedly, Ning Hai had no such idea at all.
Ning Hai glanced at Xiao Shi coldly.
Xiao Shi was so frightened that he swallowed all the rest of the words, then lowered his head and said: "I will listen to the master."
Ning Hai glanced at Xiao Shi, then got up and went back to the front yard. Then, one person was called over: "Go and find out, what happened to the eldest girl who fell into the water today?" It was such a coincidence that Ruyi stepped on the edge of the pool. And there were so many people there at that time, no one jumped into the pool to save someone, and they had to wait for a foreigner to jump down to save Ruyi. Furthermore, by such a coincidence, Mao Guangyue was a guest at Xiao's house.
Based on these considerations, Ning Hai felt that it was necessary to investigate this matter. It's okay if it's an accident, but if someone schemes against you, he will never forgive.
Facts proved that Ning Hai's guess was correct, the place where Ruyi was standing was tampered with. Otherwise, it would not have fallen into the pool. Moreover, the water in that pool was not deep, and the deepest part in the middle of the pool only reached Ruyi's waist. Not to mention, Ruyi just fell on the edge of the pool. Mao Guangyue could get up by himself even if he didn't save her.
"Bang..." A slap was slapped on the desk, and the writing brush on the pen holder on the desk was shaken left and right.
When Zhong Shantong entered the study, he saw Ning Hai's face turned blue: "Master, what's wrong?"
Ning Hai said: "Madam, have you prepared a gift to go to Mao's house to thank you?"
Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "Until now, no one has gone out in the backyard."
It seems that Mrs. Xiao didn't hear what he said. Otherwise, he would have sent a gift to Mao's house to thank him: "You go and prepare a generous gift and send it to Mao's house. Tell them about the kindness of saving the daughter, I will keep it in my heart .” He really thought he was so cowardly, letting them plot against his daughter.
Zhong Shantong has been a housekeeper by Ning Hai's side for so many years, and he is no longer the reckless man who didn't understand anything more than ten years ago. As soon as he listened to the words, he knew that it was not easy for the Mao family boy to save the eldest girl: "Master, I will arrange it right away."
After ordering Zhong Shantong to give gifts, Ning Hai went out. Ning Hai didn't come back until it was dark.
Xiao looked at Ning Hai and couldn't help but her heart tightened, but she still wanted to fight for her daughter: "Master, so many people saw that Guangyue embraced Ruyi, if they don't assign Ruyi to Mao Guangyue, how can Ruyi find a satisfactory marriage in the future?" .”
Ning Hai glanced at Xiao Shi, and said coldly: "Ruyi fell into the pond, she was calculated. And the one who plotted against her was Mao Guangyue and your good niece." Lingzhu is the concubine of Xiao's second brother. However, her aunt died of illness not long after she was born, and Mao took her to her side to raise her.
Xiao asked in disbelief: "Master, you mean that Ruyi's falling into the pool was not an accident, but a conspiracy by Lingzhu and Mao Guangyue. How is this possible?" Not to mention that Mao Guangyue's child looks gentle and harmless, even Lingzhu is too. She looks good. That child is well-behaved and obedient, and Ruyi is as good as a sister on weekdays, how could she do such a thing
"This is what Mao Guangyue's close servant said. There is no mistake."
Xiao Shi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Ning Hai didn't bother to say any more: "Don't go out during this time, just stay at home!"
After finishing speaking, Ning Hai went to see Ruyi: "I sent someone to investigate. The reason why you fell into the pool was because someone tampered with where you stood."
Ruyi didn't understand what this meant.
Ruhui, who was accompanying her, quickly understood: "Father, what do you mean that the elder sister fell into the pool not by accident, but by someone's plan?"
Seeing that Ning Hai didn't say anything to deny it, Ru Hui cursed angrily: "I never thought that this Mao Guangyue would have a human face and a beast's heart, and would use such a despicable method to plot against Eldest Sister."
After hearing this, Ning Hai also breathed a sigh of relief. The eldest daughter looked like Xiao in a daze, but fortunately the youngest daughter was clear-headed: "Not only Mao Guangyue, Xiao Lingzhu also participated in it."
Ruyi was shocked when she heard this.
Ruhui was not surprised at all, and said: "Sister, I have already said that Xiao Lingzhu is a hypocrite, and he always smiles at us. You still don't believe me, now you know that I am right?" In fact, Xiao Lingzhu There is no choice in receiving people and things, after all, Mao was raised by the head of the house. It's just that Ruhui feels that Xiao Lingzhu is hypocritical and has always disliked her.
Ruyi was so badly hit that she hung her head and said nothing.
However, Ruyi said anxiously: "Father, you must not promise your elder sister to Mao Guangyue. That guy is so vicious, if you marry him, how will your elder sister have a good life?"
Ning Hai hummed and said, "Don't worry, you won't marry your elder sister to the Mao family."
When Ruyi heard this, she burst into tears: "Father, please send me to the temple! This way you won't lose face to the Ning family."
Ning Hai said: "It was just an accident, why did you send it to the temple. You are still young, and it will not be too late to say goodbye when you are young." .
In the evening of this day, Ning Zhan came back from the palace. As a companion, Ning Zhan lives in the palace with Qiyou. But every few days, he will go home for a day.
After thinking for a while, Ning Hai still told him about Ruyi being tricked. It is also good for his growth to let him get in touch with these darkness more.
Ning Zhan's expression was also very bad: "Father, is it Mao Guangyue's own scheme, or is the Mao family all involved?"
"The people in the Mao family should not be so stupid. It should be the kid's own plan. Zhan'er, I will deal with this matter. But I will go to Xishan County next month, so you should pay more attention to the family affairs .If you have anything to do, write to me." To Xiao Shi, he couldn't believe it. Although his son is young, he does things well, so he is at ease.
Ning Zhan nodded and said, "Okay."
