"This year is the first year Wan Er regained his consciousness. In the past, the Assistant Minister’s Residence's New Year was very cold, but this year, let's just go through all the arrangements to have a good New Year, I hope that the next year's weather will be smooth sailing." When it was dinner time, Lord Assistant Minister drank some wine and talked a little too much.
"Do you need to give it to Grandmother to celebrate the new year?" Nangong Waner thought that regardless if it was the ancient or the modern era, people paid attention to reunion during the New Year.
There's no need. Your grandmother is old, and can't bear the torment any longer. It's getting close to the end of the year, and it's snowing a lot. If anything happens on the way, you and your sister can go to the countryside to spend some time with your grandmother after the new year. Lord Assistant Minister poured a cup of wine for himself and finished it.
This year, we will also send some festivals to the Liu Family. In the past few years, the Liu Family has always been on our side, giving us many festivals every year, but our family was short on funds and did not return any gifts. This year, Assistant Minister’s Residence is very well-off, so we will take the initiative to send some festivals to the Liu Family. Madam Yang considerately picked up the chopsticks for Lord Assistant Minister and pretended to scold him, "Drink slower. Be careful of your body.
Lord Assistant Minister also agreed to Madam Yang's suggestion of giving the Liu Residence a Boxing Ceremony. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he said, "En, not bad, this year we should prepare well."
"Father, shouldn't we prepare some festivals for the Duke Palace this year? This year, I received too much care from the Prince Zhan, and also received the favor of the Prince to study under him, so logically speaking, we should pay respects to the Elder Xiu and send him some festivals. However, since the Elder Xiu is gone, we should only gift a portion of the gifts to the Duke Palace." Nangong Waner poured a cup of tea for the Lord Assistant Minister and secretly took away his cup. He said with concern, "Father, drink less.
Lord Assistant Minister looked up and saw his daughter's obedient and sensible look. It was indeed as Nangong Waner had said, she drank the water, "Wan Er's words are reasonable, Madam Yang, I will go and send another set of gifts to Prince Zhan's Mansion."
Nangong Waner was very happy, but everyone did not know why he was so happy.
"This... "Master, our house still doesn't have that much silver. I wonder if it wouldn't be inappropriate for us to gift the Duke's Mansion less." Madam Yang said somewhat hesitantly.
"Aiya, Mother. Politeness and love are important. You can feel it now." Before Lord Assistant Minister could speak, Nangong Waner took the initiative and followed up.
Madam Yang looked at Nangong Waner deeply, and though there was a smile on his face, he did not say anything unnecessary.
It was also because it was near the end of the year, and every palace had their own busy matters to attend to, and also because of the weather, that Nangong Waner had been out on the streets playing around, and the number of people doing so was rather little. "Shangjing City's Leaderboard Group of Four", was the only one who would occasionally come to find Nangong Waner, rub her books, and drink some of the tea she had recently bought in her house.
"Sigh." Liu Zhuo would always suddenly see something in the book and easily associate it with his own body. Afterwards, he would sigh with empathy.
Nangong Wan'er was used to it, "You look good when you're reading a book, but can you not sigh all the time? It's just Xiaoze, it's just a small matter. "Nangong Wan'er was already used to it, but at the same time, she had a look of disdain on her face.
My mother heard that Old General Wen's son had returned to Shangjing City, do you still remember? A few days ago, my mother gave me some portraits to choose from, and my mother really liked the son of Old General Wen, it's just that Old General Wen and his son have been stationed at the border for a long time, and my mother was reluctant to marry me until I finally reached the border. I didn't expect that I actually returned to Shangjing City in just a few days. Liu Ru was naturally a little worried. Xiao Ze was a tough nut to crack, but he had still suffered a lot after failing to achieve great things.
"Old General Wen's son? Returning to Shangjing City, who was it? Why do I have to listen to gossip everyday and not hear this news? " Nangong Waner also raised his head from his drawing book and curiously asked Liu Zhi.
"All you listen to are Prince Zhan's gossips, right? How can you have the heart to care about other men? Old General Wen was the founder of the Tian Sheng, he followed the founder of the emperor and stayed at the borders. After that, when the Prince Zhan went to the borders to calm the chaos, and took over the military power of the Tian Sheng, Old General Wen was assigned to one of the Prince Zhan's subordinates. Old General Wen had a son who was an expert in military matters, and was appointed as a grand advisor in the army of the Prince Zhan. The son of this Old General Wen can be considered a talent, he has been training in the army for a long time, and his physique is also very strong. He was just transferred back to Shangjing City by the Prince Zhan, there are many tall courtyards which have called for matchmaking women to go over. " He could tell that Madam Liu liked the son of Old General Wen very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have recited his news so clearly.
"I haven't heard that the Xiao Residence is getting closer to the justice courts. Perhaps Lord Xiao has given up on marrying them. Hurry back and ask your father and mother to come forward and negotiate." Nangong Waner advised Liu Ru once again with some seriousness.
"I haven't even taken down Xiao Ze yet, I am not in a hurry to talk about marriage, if not I would be in an even more awkward situation." Liu Zhi said these words naturally and easily without any feeling of grievance or grievance.
Nangong Waner lowered his head, and looked at the line of words on the drawing book without blinking: I won't do it one time, I'll do it two times …
"If I don't do one, I won't rest until I'm done …" Nangong Waner whispered, his voice was soft, but Liu Ruo did not hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" Liu Ru did not hear what Nangong Waner said clearly, and turned to look at him and asked.
"I do have a way to take it down, but it's this book that gave me the inspiration to do so." Nangong Waner suddenly laughed, and said with a clear voice while looking at Liu Zhisui.
Liu Ruo's eyebrows were raised as she did not understand a single word.
"If that's the case, let me ask you, between Qin Ruxue and I, who looks good?"
Liu Zhi was even more confused now. He did not understand the situation, so he said, "Then naturally you are more beautiful than Qin Ruxue, Qin Ruxue is just pretending to be gentle."
"Then that's fine, Su Xiangxiang is someone who cannot be put on stage, I do not put him in my eyes." Nangong Waner said again, without thinking.
"Wan Er, what are you doing? Why do I feel like you're doing something big?" Liu Ru looked at Nangong Waner stiffly and said. That expression, it looked like Nangong Waner was about to do something big.
"Of course I'm going to do something big. I'll open up a path for you first. If I succeed, then …" You can also take Xiao Ze down. " Nangong Waner patted Liu Zhuo's shoulder and said in high spirits.
Liu Ruyi: "…"
Liu Jing still did not completely understand what Nangong Waner was saying.
"If I succeed, I can do it for you, and leave it to me." Nangong Waner didn't know where he got his confidence from, but he patted his chest as though he was a guarantee.
Liu Ruyi: "…"
Liu Ru could not help but say, "Wan Er, don't do anything stupid. Do you like the Prince Zhan to be crazy? "My brain is not working right now. Previously, I was yelling that I would take care of a male servant, but today, it seems like I will have to offer my life as a gift."
Nangong Waner, on the other hand, smiled mysteriously, which made Liu Zhe's hair stand on end.
