Mrs. Ning is also a woman, but when she heard her son say that he wanted to stay at home longer, she didn't have any weird instincts, only relief and joy.
"I originally wanted to keep you, but I was afraid that it would delay your homework." She said with a smile, "You have always had your own opinions. Since you said you are not in a hurry, then you must not be in a hurry."
"I won't be back for Chinese New Year next year, so I want to spend more time at home this year," Ning Yunzhao said.
If you win the Jinshi next year, you can start your career as an official. Because Ning Yan is in the court, Ning Yunzhao will be released. After ten years of experience outside, he will come back. After another ten years of Ning Yan's avoidance, Ning Yunzhao can take over.
Ning Yan became an important minister.
Of course, there are many nephews in the Ning family, and Ning Yunzhao is not the only scholar and Jinshi. As for who can get the most support from the family, it will also depend on his own qualifications and go through official tests.
Mrs. Ning nodded.
"When will we leave?" she asked, taking out her almanac.
"It's past March 3rd," Ning Yunzhao said.
It will be less than a month.
"It was a good time at that time. It was the season when spring was warm and flowers were blooming, making it easy to travel." Mrs. Ning smiled and paused here, "Is the young lady from the Yang family the same age as your cousin?"
This question was a bit confusing, so Ning Yunzhao said "Oh."
"That's right. I've never met him. I heard from my cousin that we often meet each other. In this case, we are of the same age." He replied, without any hesitation or any abnormality in his expression. He listened calmly and answered calmly. It seemed that this person in front of him seemed to be the same.
The topic of good weather for traveling is the same.
Never seen it.
Mrs. Ning understands.
"Your aunt mentioned it several times, and I realized that your aunt's grandfather is actually distantly related to the Yang family." She sighed, "It shows that the relationship between these clans is really complicated."
"The same goes for the officials in the court." Ning Yunzhao answered with a smile, "I don't know each other at first, but if we sit down and chat, there will always be someone who becomes a relative after counting for more than three generations."
The mother and son chatted and laughed for a moment, then Ning Yunzhao stood up and left. When he left, Mrs. Ning immediately turned around and gave instructions to the maid beside her.
"If the second wife's mother-in-law asks you again, you will say that Yunzhao is not suitable for early marriage," she said.
The maid was startled.
Ning Yunzhao is already nineteen years old, and it is no longer considered an early marriage at this time. This is obviously an excuse for rejection, and it is not a tactful excuse at all.
What Ning Yunyan said before about Ning Yunzhao and Miss Yang was not a random fabrication, because it was indeed Ning Yan's wife who revealed the news to her family and intended to marry her.
This time when she came back for the New Year, she was making insinuations again. The eldest lady remained vague and did not answer. As soon as she mentioned Miss Yang, she simply wanted to express her refusal.
"Is there something wrong with Miss Yang?" the maid couldn't help but ask.
Her family background is not low, her appearance is said to be beautiful, and her talent and learning are not unfounded. The kind of wife she is taught by others will definitely be the most perfect and suitable wife.
Mrs. Ning smiled.
"There's nothing wrong with her, she's very good." She said with a gentle expression, "It's just that Yun Zhao doesn't like her."
Otherwise, why the son suddenly had to delay his return to the capital for a while? It must be because his aunt was worried about wanting to propose marriage.
The mother will naturally solve her son's troubles.
So when she suddenly said what Miss Yang meant, her son would naturally know.
She naturally understood what her son meant when he said he had never seen him before.
How could she force her son if he didn't like it?
That is her son, and his son living a smooth and happy life is what any mother in the world hopes and should do.
If Yunzhao doesn't like this marriage, then she doesn't like it either.
The servant girl understood, but she slightly disagreed. Mothers should not pamper their children too much.
The young master is outstanding in talent and learning, but he is still a young man.
Sometimes young people's thoughts are childish and casual. What they think is good is sometimes just a moment of joy, but a person's life is very long.
What's more, what if the young master likes someone who is not suitable for him? How many young masters have done shocking things and made a joke in the family.
This is all due to pampering children.
Facing the maid's tactful reminder, Mrs. Ning smiled.
"What my son likes must be what I like," she said, looking firm and proud.
……………………………………………..
Ning Yunzhao sat in the study and sighed softly, looking at the hydrangea lantern on his desk and smiling again.
"I'm overthinking it," he said, reaching out to poke the lantern.
He knew that it was not inappropriate for him, a man, to hold a lantern at home. His companions all held more lanterns, but the teenagers only held the lanterns to prove that they were having fun, and after the fun was over, they gave them to the sisters at home.
But he just kept it and kept it on his desk.
Ning Yunyan deliberately made an insinuation, naturally overthinking and thinking that this was a gift related to her children's personal relationship.
When my mother heard that he had postponed his trip, she overthought it and thought it was because of marriage problems.
In fact, no, this lantern was not a gift from his children's personal love, and his postponement of the trip was not due to marriage worries.
Ning Yunzhao smiled again.
In fact, he thought too much and thought that the woman had other thoughts. As a result, let alone someone coming to find out who she was, he couldn't even inquire specifically about who she was, or even the owner of the chess game lantern.
.
The information about the chess game lanterns was obviously deliberately erased, but many people speculated that the person who could bet on such a large sum of money should be Jinyun Tower.
Jinyun Tower is taboo and not talked about much because of the background of Jin Yiwei behind him.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became stronger and clearer, and he sat up straight.
Lanterns are just lanterns, they have no other meaning, they just come across, exchange a few words with each other, or give them to you out of emotion, that's all.
Just like when he took the lien case, just like when he asked about her origins, he had no other intention, he just wanted to do it, so he did it.
He didn't go see how the chess game was played that night, and he didn't allow his friends to mention it. He wanted to figure it out by himself.
Presumably she is like this too.
He is sassy and has a girlish temper. In short, he is a proud person.
She must be like this too.
By March 3rd, he should be able to solve the chess game and probably find out her origins. Then he will feel free to visit her.
Of course, the visit was just to discuss the chess game. After all, she had beaten him once.
This is a very interesting thing.
Outside the window came the whispers of several boys and girls.
"...I'm not going to lie to you...we will get married tomorrow..."
"...That's great...I won't bother our young master anymore..."
Ning Yunzhao knew what they were talking about. Although the family members deliberately did not mention it, the news that Miss Jun was getting married to the young master of the Fang family had already spread throughout the world.
They shunned him from hearing it, trying to show that it had nothing to do with him.
However, this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place. He has never cared about it, so what does it matter if others care about it.
Ning Yunzhao stood up and walked to the bookshelf to read the chess game carefully again.
Miss Jun didn't know that she had become a key figure in someone else's interesting thing, nor did she know that the lamp she sent made Mr. Ning Shi care so much. For her, sending that lamp was just for Jun Zhenzhen.
After sending him away, Mr. Ning Shi had nothing to do with her.
Yes, Young Master Ning Shi is good at chess, but that's all. There are so many people in the world who are good at chess. Should she think about them all in her heart? The one who cracked her chess game and won her
She also immediately left the money man behind.
She was so busy and had so many things to do, how could she have time to miss someone.
