"Master hasn't returned home?"
Shen Qin's voice came from outside the carriage. Before the coachman could answer, Shen Tingjun quickly lifted the curtain and stuck his head out.
The face that was heavy just now was now filled with smiles.
"I've kept you waiting, madam."
Before the driver could put down the horse stool, Shen Tingjun had already jumped out of the carriage.
Seeing that his wife was wearing a thin coat, he took off his cloak, put it on her body, and led her to the main courtyard half-hugging her.
The servants had long been accustomed to Shen Tingjun's behavior of protecting his wife. Seeing the two getting closer and closer, as if they were about to merge into one, they all took a few steps away in awe.
"Husband, have you seen Ning Wuyan? What does he look like? Is he really as handsome as the rumors say? How does he treat you? Is there any attitude of repaying kindness? Does he care about whether You Chusheng is injured? "
Until Shen Qin finished asking a series of questions, Shen Tingjun was still smiling.
But in fact.
He didn't remember any of this list of questions.
because.
"Ning Wushan's injury was more serious than you and I imagined. It almost took half of his life. When I went there, he had already taken medicine and fell asleep."
In order to show the seriousness of the injury, Shen Tingjun also added a special sentence.
"His injury was so serious that he had to take medicine before he could fall asleep. Even so, he still scratched the wound while he was sleeping. This son reports good news but not bad news. He is a person worthy of trust."
This comment surprised Shen Qin.
Is the meaning of "worthy of entrustment" what she imagined?
She knew her husband best. Although he looked very deceptive, he was actually very deep and thoughtful. He never looked at people based on their superficial appearance, and he was the kind of person who could only see his heart over time when he interacted with people.
Today, I only met Ning Wukai once, and he had such a high opinion. There is a rumor that my daughter planned to entrust Ning Wukai to her for the rest of her life when she saw him for the first time.
"According to what you say, this Ning Huangshang is a good match."
"This...I didn't say that. I just said that what he did at the poetry appreciation party was very authentic."
Shen Tingjun did not forget that he also wanted to test the young man's decision to make a lasting relationship.
He will truthfully tell his wife Ning Wushan's characteristics.
But he doesn't admit the others.
"A good match is not one-sided, but two-way."
Shen Tingjun said it very seriously.
Shen Qin heard what he meant and gave him an angry look: "You just praised someone else's boy and you turned around and said this. Are you worried that our daughter is not a good match?"
"..."
Shen Tingjun felt that it was better for him not to tell the truth.
A wise daughter is better than her father.
He has understood the idea that his daughter wants to touch beautiful things when she sees them since she was a child.
His daughter is naturally a good match.
But the more this happens, the more he should not let down Ning Wuhuang's deep affection.
He had to let the two of them deeply understand what kind of person they wanted to accompany them for life, in order to facilitate this matter, instead of just relying on a momentary rush of passion.
When Shen Qin saw that he was silent and wanted to ask again, Shen Tingjun touched his belly.
"Ma'am, I'm hungry."
"...Let's have dinner first and then talk about it afterward."
How could Mrs. Shen Qin not see that her husband was avoiding her question? Even though he had doubts in his heart, he still walked down the steps.
In the relationship between husband and wife, no one has to dominate the other.
Regarding Ning Wuyan's matter, she would go and see it in person and judge it herself.
She respects her husband's judgment and also has her own choices.
…
It's night.
The home of the powerful officials in the capital showed no signs of resting.
What happened at today's poetry appreciation party has already spread a lot. Even the children playing in the streets in the capital know that the Jinling Poetry Immortal is safe and sound, and was almost summoned by the gods in the sky and ascended to immortality.
Of course.
Those powerful officials were dubious about ascending to immortality, but there was one thing they were convinced of.
That is.
Ning Wuyou, who protects Shen Youchu with his life, will definitely become a guest of the Shen family.
Coupled with Zhou Qian's increasing emphasis on Ning Wuhuang, even if Ning Wuhuang was seriously injured this time, he might not even be able to participate in the competition on October 10th.
The Ning family's move into the former Prime Minister's Mansion was an ironclad fact in their eyes.
at this time.
The regrets in these people's hearts are no less than those of Zhou Yu.
"As early as when Ning Wuhuang succeeded in firing the colored glaze, I told him to go and send greetings, and you had to stop me. Now it's fine. The Ning family has become prosperous. In addition to His Majesty's love and protection, the Shen family leader has also asked the Shen family to personally He brought two cars with heavy gifts to express his gratitude, and also made an appointment to visit with his wife and daughter on another day. What an honor it is."
"Before, you also said that the Shen family might ruin Miss Shen's reputation because of Ning Wuhuang, which would be detrimental to the Ning family. The Ning family would not be able to survive for a few days. Now with this life-saving grace, maybe Ning Wuhuang will become the leader of the Shen family. Son-in-law!"
"I've said so much, why are you still hanging around? Hurry up and write a greeting note, go to the warehouse to pick the best gift, and send it to Princess Xian's house. Then pick another gift, write a greeting note, please Xian The princess handed it over to Ning Huangshang."
This kind of dialogue is repeated in various governments.
People who failed to notice the prosperity of the Ning family in advance only wanted to visit them belatedly.
As for the previous courtiers who participated in Princess Xian's performance under the guidance of the Jin Palace and scolded Ning Wuchang together, they could not go and pay their respects without saying anything. They were also afraid that Emperor Ning would settle accounts with Shang Qiu and use the power of the Shen family to suppress them. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep at all.
The people who belong to the King of Jin faction are under less pressure. Anyway, they have political disagreements with the King of Kang faction, that is, Zhou Jingxian. They are not the same people. They were suppressed by Ning Wuyan and were protected by King Jin's forces.
But those courtiers who were nosy and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity could not sleep in bed.
I kept my eyes open until the cockcrow, then suddenly woke up, got up and went to court.
While queuing up at the entrance of Zhuque, they met King Kang who had come to court with him. They looked around for a long time but did not see Zhou Jingxian. At this time, they could only bite the bullet and come forward to greet him.
"Good morning, Prince Kang."
"Master Xu, Master Qian... Good morning, gentlemen."
King Kang, who had always been serious about his words and expressions, seemed to have enlightened himself today and responded with a smile.
This made those courtiers who were originally worried about being hot-faced and cold-blooded suddenly start chatting about some insensitive government affairs in the DPRK.
On the surface, King Kang listened patiently. From time to time, when others asked for advice, he would say a few words that sounded profound, but in fact were useless and unnecessary nonsense. Deep down, he was prejudging his staff. I was deeply impressed by the scene during the court meeting this morning.
Fortunately, Mr. Staff asked him to prepare mentally in advance, especially to get rid of some aloof habits in advance. Although this made him very uncomfortable, he practiced in front of the mirror for two hours before choosing the best smile at this time, but .
Thinking of the staff member saying that the courtiers who showed kindness today would be helpful in the future, he still forced a stiff smile and continued to deal with these courtiers.
The last word.
The courtiers who exchanged warm greetings finally revealed the true meaning of their greetings.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are at Princess Xian's place. I heard how Ning Huangshang is injured. Can we go and visit?"
"We are all officials in the same dynasty. Ning Huangshang was injured so seriously. We should go visit him. However, we are not familiar with Ning Huangshang. Please ask the prince to mediate. I would be very grateful."
