A Clash of Gods - Chapter 789

[Chapter 780 Harvest]

In the eyes of other people, Ximen Zhanying’s request may seem a bit bizarre, and even feel that it is not appropriate at all, but for Qi Ning, it is really not a problem.

He thought that Ximen Zhanying would put forward more stringent conditions, and when he heard her say it, he almost laughed, but he immediately realized that in the era he was in, Ximen Zhanying’s thinking was really ahead of its time.

He believed that if Ximen Zhanying came from a well-behaved family of officials, he probably wouldn’t even think about such a question.

However, Ximen Zhanying lost his mother when he was a child, and Ximen Wuhen brought him up with one hand, and Ximen Wuhen is between the court and the rivers and lakes. It is even said that the aura of the rivers and lakes on him is stronger than that of the court, and the Shenhou Mansion is even more powerful. A yamen who has dealt with the forces of Jianghu all the year round, his behavior is full of Jianghu atmosphere, Ximen and Ying are so immersed in his eyes and ears, and his temperament is relatively independent.

“Does Miss Ximen only have this one condition?” Qi Ning asked with a smile.

Ximen Zhanying put forward such conditions, Qi Ning not only did not have any pressure, but actually appreciated Ximen Zhanying a little in his heart.

Ximen Zhanying thought that such a condition would be very difficult for Qi Ning, but he didn’t want to change his temperament just because he was accommodating to Qi Ning, and said, “You…will you agree?”

Qi Ning said with a smile: “If it’s just this one condition, I can tell you now, it’s not a problem. After getting married, if you are willing to continue working in the Shenhou Mansion, I will never hinder you in the slightest, but I also mention one. condition.”

Ximen Zhanying knew that Qi Ning was quite cunning, and thought he was going to make things difficult for him again, but thinking of his own conditions would have made people embarrassed. If Qi Ning agreed, even if he proposed some harsh conditions, it was not impossible for him to consider it. Asked: “What conditions do you have?”

“I know that the Shenhou Mansion is sometimes busy with official business.” Qi Ning said solemnly: “But you have to go back to the mansion every night. If there is any official delay, you must send someone to tell you, otherwise the manor will not be able to arrange dinner.”

When the ministers heard the words, their eyeballs were about to fall out.

Qi Ning agreed very happily, and everyone was surprised. Hearing that he had conditions, all of them thought like Ximen Zhanying, thinking that he wanted to put forward more stringent conditions to make things difficult. Who knew it was such a sesame and mung bean-like condition.

At first Ximen Zhanying thought he was a messenger, but when he was sure it was correct, his pretty face showed a happy look, and asked, “You…you really promised me?”

“If you promise me, I will promise you.” Qi Ning smiled.

Ximen Zhanying bit his lip and nodded, “You…you promised me, I…of course I will do as you say.”

Ximen Wuhen turned his head and glanced at Qi Ning, his eyes also showed a strange color, and then he said with a gratified expression: “Jinyi Hou is reasonable and admirable.”

“Don’t say that.” Qi Ning hurriedly said: “Zhan Ying has always aspired to be able to do something in the Shenhou Mansion. If her ideal is ruined because of this marriage, she will not be happy in her life. The sage ordered me to take good care of Zhan Ying, and I also said that I would not let her suffer a little bit of grievance, so naturally I can’t make her unhappy all the time, otherwise how can I fulfill my promise?”

Ximen Wuhen smiled and nodded. When Ximen Wuhen heard what Qi Ning said, he was even more elated. He only felt that these words were the most beautiful love words he had ever heard.

The surrounding officials all have their own thoughts, and some people sneered, thinking that although Qi Ning promised, but he may not be reconciled in his heart. So this is a compromise.

Longtai smiled and said: “Ximen Zhanying, since Jin Yihou has agreed, and I will testify for you, he does not dare to go back. After getting married, you are still working in the Shenhou Mansion. You decide.”

Ximen Zhanying is naturally willing to marry into the Qi family, but it has always been her heart trouble to leave the Shenhou Mansion after getting married. The thought of leaving the Shenhou Mansion one day after getting married makes her feel a lot of troubles, and that’s why ,

Although she has already reached the age of leaving the pavilion, the marriage of the pavilion has always been her anti-scale, and no one dares to mention it.

But I don’t want to worry about the thing I have always worried about, but it is so easy to solve here in Qi Ning, not only can I marry into the Qi family, but also can continue to work in the Shenhou Mansion, my heart is very happy, and the eyebrows naturally reveal The color of joy, the whole person looks even more delicate.

At this time, listening to the emperor calling the shots again, he was even more joyful and encouraged, and bowed his head and thanked him.

Longtai smiled and said: “Today, the two marriages have been completed, which is also gratifying. All the gentlemen should step down first.” Looking at the King of Huainan, he said: “Uncle Wang, you stay here, I have something to discuss with you. ”

The King of Huainan immediately cupped his hands and said, “This minister leads the order!”

In the sound of the drums, Longtai got up, and the ministers respectfully sent the emperor to leave. Some of them went forward to congratulate Su Zhen, and many officials came to congratulate Qi Ning and Ximen Wuhen. Ximen Zhanying was shy and didn’t want to stay longer. He didn’t dare to look at Qi Ning again, seeing everyone congratulating Qi Ning, knowing that the marriage was a certainty, he hurriedly left with shame.

Qi Ning knew that many officials congratulated him, not necessarily because of his own face, but the Qi family and the Ximen family married today, and they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the court. Don’t dare to offend, this superficial effort is naturally to be done.

Su Zhen saw that Duan Shao, the Prince of Dongqi, led people away without saying a word, so he hurriedly chased after him and said with a smile, “Prince, please stay.”

Duan Shao couldn’t achieve his goal today, and he was naturally very unhappy in his heart. More importantly, he also saw that there seemed to be some tricks between Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying, and he was even more unhappy. At this time, Su Zhen caught up, although Disdainful in his heart, he still stopped and turned around with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands: “Marquis of Wuxiang!”

Su Zhen thought that after a while, I will be your old husband, and sooner or later I will be the father of Dongqi. His heart was full of joy, and he smiled: “Prince, I have prepared a little wine tonight in the humble house. I wonder if the prince is free. Going for a drink?”

Duan Shao was unhappy in his heart, where did he have the heart to eat some water and wine, but he kept a smile on his face: “Wuxiang Marquis, your country has been very entertaining these days. I won’t bother the Marquis of Wuxiang later.”

“Don’t bother, don’t bother.” Su Zhen smiled and said: “Prince has eaten too much greasy. After I go back, let someone prepare some light flavors.”

“Don’t be polite, Marquis Wuxiang, you will have a chance to come to Japan.” Duan Shao said with a smile: “The imperial sister will get married in a few days, and I, the elder brother, have to make preparations. How about another day?”

Su Zhen hurriedly said: “The important thing is important. In this case, before the prince returns to China, I will hold a banquet for the prince to practice.”

Duan Shaogong handed over his hands, without saying much, and walked away quickly.

Su Zhen looked at Duan Shao’s leaving figure with a smile on his face and stroked his beard. At this time, a few people came to congratulate him. Su Zhen only felt that his back seemed to be much tougher, and he smiled back with a smile, and suddenly heard someone behind him say: “Wuxiang Hou, it’s still early, so don’t worry, you can send someone over at night.”

Su Zhen’s heart sank, but he saw that Qi Ning had already passed by him, and within a few steps, he had caught up with Dou Kui, the minister of households who was about to leave, stopped in front of Dou Kui and said with a smile: “Master Dou, but Don’t forget to send the money over there.”

Dou Kui’s face was ugly, and he sneered: “I would like to lose the gamble, and I won’t say anything about Jinyi, and I won’t forget it. The mere five thousand taels of silver, I can still get it.”

“That’s natural, don’t say five thousand taels, it’s fifty thousand five hundred thousand taels, and it’s not a big problem for Master Dou.” Qi Ning smiled and pointed at several officials, saying, “Several adults Don’t forget it, Master Liu, you are eight hundred taels, and Lord He over there, you seem to be five hundred taels, hahaha, Lord Situ, you are also five hundred taels…!”

The faces of the officials were very ugly. Originally, everyone thought that gambling with Qi Ning today would be no different from picking up money, but they didn’t want to turn out to be such a result. leave.

Only then did Qi Ning smile at Su Zhen: “Marquis of Wuxiang, congratulations to Miss Su for marrying Dongqi. One day, when Miss Su becomes Queen of Dongqi, you Marquis of Wuxiang will be the head of the state of Dongqi.”

If someone else said this, Su Zhen would naturally smile, but when Qi Ning said it, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, it wasn’t a bad word. , Jin Yihou, your vision is really good, and in the future, if you have the old god to take care of you, it will be honorable to the ancestors.”

His words are full of ridicule, that is, that you, Qi Ning, want to marry Ximen Zhanying, just because you are interested in the power of Shenhou Mansion.

Qi Ning laughed and said, “It’s impossible to talk about Guangzong Yaozu, but to be able to receive the grace of God and get the answer from the gods, it is naturally a blessing for my Jinyi Qi family. The emperor said that when you marry Zhanying, you need to be beautiful. Guang, originally the Jinyi Qi family was simple and simple, and there was not much money in the treasury. If it wasn’t for the sponsorship of the Marquis of Wuxiang and all the adults, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be too beautiful. Yes, the Marquis of Wuxiang must have a few more drinks.”

Throwing out 10,000 taels of silver all at once, even Su Zhen felt a pain in the flesh, he snorted coldly, and walked away with his hands on his back, Qi Ning reminded himself behind him, “Don’t be too late to send someone to send the silver, if it’s three in the middle of the night. Send it over, I’m afraid everyone in the house will fall asleep.”

After leaving the palace, Qi Ning rode back to the house and turned to the vicinity of Dewende Bridge, thinking that the Qinhuai River was not far ahead, he immediately thought of Zhuo Xian’er.

Qi Ning had met Zhuo Xian’er before he was sent to the country of Qi, but he hasn’t come over since then. At this time, he couldn’t help but think of the charming taste of Zhuo Xian’er’s beautiful face, but wanted to meet him there. However, he thought that he had just been given a marriage in the palace today. At this time, seeing a singer on the Qinhuai River seemed a little out of place.

But thinking of how reluctant Zhuo Xian’er looked every time she left, she couldn’t help sighing, thinking that if Zhuo Xian’er had been living in Qinhuai River, she would have a bright future, and there might not be any good results. She was affectionate, but she couldn’t ignore it.

This time, in the bet with Su Zhen and others, he earned more than 20,000 taels of silver all at once, which is not a small amount. After thinking about it, it was impossible. He took out a part of it to redeem Zhuo Xian’er, and then found a place to settle it.

While thinking about it, he couldn’t help but reach the Qinhuai River.

The emperor’s wedding is imminent, and all the people in the capital know that red lanterns have been hung in many places, but a long row of red lanterns has long been hung on the Yiyi trees on the banks of the Qinhuai River, although it is more visible at night. Beautiful and spectacular, but also a sight to behold in the daytime.

During the day, the Qinhuai River is naturally less lively than at night. Many painting boats rest on the shore. UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com Tourists can’t compare to the shuttle at night.

Qi Ning vaguely remembered the place where Zhuo Xian’er’s painting boat was parked before. He rode on horseback by the river, his eyes swept across the painting boat by the bank, and after walking for a while, he saw Zhuo Xian’er’s painting boat at the last stop, and he couldn’t help but stay on the shore. While restraining the horse, I saw someone on the bow of the boat instructing several people to do something, and whistled towards the other side.

The man turned his head and saw clearly that it was Qi Ning. He hurried over and jumped from the side of the boat to the shore. It was Wang Xiang, the master of the boat, who hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Master Hou, you…you… How come?”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, glanced at the painting boat, and asked, “Is your girl Zhuo on the boat?”

“Yes!” Wang Xiang nodded immediately, but immediately showed embarrassment and said in a low voice: “Master Hou, the girl just fell asleep just now, she looks very tired, do you want to wake her up?”

“Just fell asleep?” Qi Ning frowned, “There are often guests on board recently?”

“Master Hou, the girl never sees guests.” Wang Xiang said: “If there is a guest who is willing to listen to the piano, the girl can let him on board, but he must be outside the cabin and cannot enter the cabin, otherwise he will not receive guests.” He smiled bitterly: “Master Hou , this ship also has a lot of people to feed, so…!”

Qi Ning nodded, knowing Zhuo Xian’er’s difficulty, and asked, “That Miss Zhuo was playing the piano last night?”

Wang Xiang hesitated to speak, but Qi Ning saw that something was wrong and frowned: “If you have something to say, you must not hide it. What is going on?”

Wang Xiang looked around, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, “Master Hou, girl… The girl was not on the boat last night. Not long after dark, she was… Picked it up and didn’t come back until the third watch.”
