As Ning xiao wangye walked, he raised his hands and bowed to everyone with a slight smile. He was extremely courteous and had an extraordinary presence. It was easy for him to gain the goodwill of everyone.
Lin Wanrong thought of what Luoyuan had said. Ning xiao wangye's father, King Cheng, was a famous virtuous king who was good at making friends with capable people. It seemed that this xiao wangye had also received his teachings.
Lomin invited Ning xiao wangye to sit. Xiao wangye smiled modestly and said: "In front of the elders, this junior doesn't dare to sit. Xiao wang has specially come today to wish old furen a happy birthday. "
Ning xiao wangye was the grandson of the prince and it wasn't convenient for him to kneel. He bowed forward and said in a long bow: "King Cheng's heir apparent Zhao Kangning greets old furen. I wish old furen a long and prosperous life!"
The old furen said with a smile: "Xiao wangye has made such a great bow, this old one doesn't dare accept it. Xiao wangye, please sit."
Zhao Kangning respectfully said: "Thank you old furen." He waved his hand and a subordinate handed over a brocade box. Zhao Kangning held it with both hands and respectfully handed it to the old furen. He said: "Kangning came to Jiangnan in a hurry this time. It coincided with old furen's birthday and I didn't make enough preparations. Kangning went to Korea last year and received a thousand year ginseng as a gift from the King of Korea. I will use this small gift as a birthday gift to wish old furen eternal youth and a healthy complexion."
Everyone in the hall had heard of the fame of the Korean ginseng. They had heard that the effects of this thing were not simple. It was said that it could heal the bones of the dead. Such a great gift was called a small gift. This Ning wangye was too humble.
Thousand year ginseng? What a great gimmick. What a thing the Korean ginseng was, Lin Wanrong, as a modern person, knew it all too well. Motherf * * * er, bluff, keep bluffing.
Zhao Kangning's first move was such a great gift. Most of the people in the hall worked for the court and knew that this xiao wangye was trying to win over Lomin. Zhao Kangning's father, King Cheng, had once held the position of Minister of Appointments and had students all over the world. One-third of the high-ranking officials of the dozens of provinces in China were under his tutelage, but Lomin was an exception. Jiangnan was also the granary, so of course he would spare no effort to win over Lomin.
Zhao Kangning's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Ning standing beside Madame Luo. He smiled and bowed, "Are you the most talented girl in Jinling City, Miss Luo Ning?"
Luo Ning shook her head and said shyly, "Luo Ning is untalented and inexperienced. How can I deserve the title of first place?"
Zhao Kangning let out a long laugh and said, "Miss Lo is too modest. You have outstanding talent and learning, your reputation has spread far and wide. Xiao Wang has admired you for a long time in Beijing. Meeting you today is like bathing in the spring breeze, like meeting a sweet rain, and it's extremely delightful. "
F * ck, this little prince is really not just for show. When it comes to flattery, it's not much worse than me. Listening to his words, it's clear that he has some interest in Luo Ning. But I don't know if Miss Lo will be moved.
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Little Prince, please don't make fun of me."
Zhao Kangning shook his head and summoned a servant to bring a scroll of painting. He smiled and said, "Miss Lo may not believe what I said, but when you see this scroll of painting, Miss Lo will naturally understand."
He slowly opened the scroll of painting. The person in the painting was a beautiful woman with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She was standing under a peach tree, holding a scroll in her hand and carefully looking at it. The woman's expression was natural and friendly, and her eyes were gentle. Although she didn't speak, there was a quiet temperament coming from her. Looking at her face, it was 50% to 60% similar to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning said curiously, "Little Prince, is the person in the painting me?"
Zhao Kangning nodded and said, "It is indeed Miss Luo. This painting scroll was personally inked by this humble prince three years ago. I always thought that one day I would be able to personally deliver it to Miss Luo. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled.
"Three years ago? That is to say, Little Prince has already seen me three years ago? "Luo Ning frowned and said," But I don't remember seeing Little Prince. "
Zhao Kangning smiled and said, "Three years ago, I met Miss Lo by chance at Jinghua Academy. But at that time, we were very far away. Before I could greet Miss, Miss had already gone far away. After Kangning returned to the fu, he couldn't sleep at night, so he spent the whole night painting. "
Luo Min, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at little prince Ning and slightly wrinkled his eyebrows. He naturally understood why Zhao Kangning was showing such goodwill today. Seeing him continuously trying to curry favor with his daughter, he felt even more worried in his heart.
He had already painted this painting three years ago. Today, he took advantage of the birthday of the old man to personally deliver the painting to him. His thoughts were truly brilliant. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. This Little Prince was not an idiot. He was definitely a first-class player when it came to picking up girls. First, he made a story of a secret love to arouse sympathy. Then, he delivered the painting, showing his infatuation and expressing his longing in front of everyone. He spoke with fervor and assurance, leaving a deep impression on people. It could even be said that it was unforgettable. If it was a normal girl, she would naturally be moved by him. This person cannot be underestimated. Lin Wanrong secretly warned.
Zhao Kangning handed over the painting with both hands and said softly, "Kangning has no other intentions. I can only use this painting to fulfill my wish of many years. I hope Miss will kindly accept it."
Brilliant, really brilliant. He said he had no other intentions, but his actions were full of intentions. If I was a girl, I would definitely be moved. Grand Mistress saw Lin Wanrong shaking his head and smiling. She couldn't help but say, "Let's see if you still dare to have any thoughts. She is the person that the Little Prince likes."
Damn, the Little Prince is nothing. Do you really think that by painting a painting and saying a few heartfelt words, you can move this little girl, Luo Ning? You are too naive. Lin Wanrong and Luo Ning had been in contact for a period of time. This little girl had ideals and beliefs. She was not a person who coveted wealth. Her eyes were at the top of her head. The husband she was looking for was an unrivalled person who could become a minister and fight on the battlefield. You want to fool her with a painting and a few words? No way.
Luo Ning secretly looked at Lin Wanrong and slowly said, "Thank you, Little Prince, for treating Luo Ning so generously. But this painting was painstakingly obtained by Little Prince. I will give it to Little Prince as a souvenir."
This sentence was said with great knowledge. Everyone in the hall could understand it. Zhao Kangning's expression did not change. He sighed and said, "Kangning's wish of many years cannot be fulfilled today. It is really regretful."
Lin Wanrong observed the Little Prince's expression. Comparing it to the mysterious master he met in the White Lotus Sect that day, he was now 70% sure that the person was this Little Prince called Zhao Kangning. No wonder Cheng De and the others were so happy to see him.
He thought for a while. Someone gently pulled his clothes. He turned around and saw Luoyuan. Luoyuan said softly, "Big Brother, come with me. My sister has something to say to you."
Luo Ning wants to talk to me? What do I have to talk to her about? He looked around. Sure enough, there was no trace of Luo Ning. He did not know where she was hiding. It seemed that he had been thinking for a while.
Luoyuan pulled him to the back garden of the Luo residence. This was the Luo family's private place. Outsiders could not enter. Luoyuan pushed Lin Wanrong in and said, "Big Brother, my sister is waiting for you inside. You should go in quickly."
Sweat, this Kleinloh is so mysterious. If outsiders did not know, they would think that I want to woo his sister. Lin Wanrong entered the garden. It was early winter. The garden was empty and the flowers were gradually withered. In the corner of the garden stood a lonely figure. Looking at it, it was Miss Luo Ning who had just made three consecutive couplets.
Luo Ning's expression was calm. She looked at the withered flowers in the garden in a daze. It was very different from her generous and cheerful personality in the past. Lin Wanrong walked over and called out softly, "Miss Luo — —"
Luo Ning turned around and saw him. She said joyfully, "Big Brother Lin, you're here?"
Lin Wanrong nodded. He said, "Miss Luo, why did you call me here?"
Luo Ning's gaze was faint. She looked at the withered flowers in the garden and said slowly, "Big Brother Lin, between us women and the flowers, which one is brighter and which one will last longer?"
This question was out of the blue. Where did it come from? She was so cheerful when she recited poems just now. Why did she become so bitter now? Lin Wanrong did not know what was wrong with this girl.
"Big Brother Lin, do you think I'm very strange?" Luo Ning saw him frowning and trying to guess her intentions. She could not help but laugh.
Lin Wanrong nodded solemnly, "Very strange. I can't connect you with the natural and unrestrained Luo Ning in the hall just now."
Luo Ning said shyly, "Big Brother, everyone has two sides. I am generous in front of outsiders. It does not mean that I am not shy. Because in the end, I am also a woman."
"Women and flowers are actually the same. When they bloom, it is also the most beautiful and brightest moment of their lives. But after spring, they will wither like fallen leaves and fall into the dust. No one will remember the fragrance when they bloom." Luo Ning's words were quiet and profound. It was as if it floated over from the horizon. Lin Wanrong could not grasp her thoughts at all.
This time, I might get hit on by a girl. Lin Wanrong wailed in his heart. Luo Ning giggled, "Big Brother Lin, don't be surprised. This is just a little thought that I had just now."
"Miss Luo, your little thought may change your life." Lin Wanrong said seriously.
Luo Ning said softly, "Big Brother Lin, you are right. A little thought may really change my life. But I know it too late. I don't even know when I started to change."
Luo Ning looked at him and smiled sweetly, "Big Brother Lin, do you know? When the young prince expressed his goodwill to me, I suddenly had a very scared feeling."
"Scared? What are you scared of?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
Luo Ning smiled shyly and said, "I won't hide it from you. When I was young, I swore that the husband I find in the future should be a man of indomitable spirit. Not only must he be a scholar, but he must also be able to go to the battlefield and kill wolves. For many years, I have always had this as my goal. "
Lin Wanrong grunted and thought, "I already knew about this grand ambition of yours. Your brother warned me a long time ago. I really don't have anything to do with literature or martial arts."
"I have heard of this Young Prince Zhao Kangning before. Not only is he talented in literature, but he is also extraordinary in martial arts. He also has a good impression of me. Logically speaking, he should be the one I like." Luo Ning said shyly, "But, even if he already had a good impression of me three years ago, I still didn't feel anything strange. Not only him, at that moment, I suddenly realized that even if there really was a person who was proficient in both literature and martial arts that I had dreamed of appearing in front of me, I still couldn't accept it. I was really scared. I suddenly realized that the goal I had always set was not what I wanted. "
Sweat, Lin Wanrong understood what she meant. According to the jargon, this was called the collapse of faith. It was very cruel. Lin Wanrong mourned for her in his heart. Little girl, the distance between ideals and reality was huge.
"Just like what Big Brother Lin told me before, I want to travel the world, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely be able to go. The desire to travel is very beautiful, but the actual process of traveling is not necessarily beautiful. "
Luo Ning's words gave Lin Wanrong a headache. A woman's mind was really hard to guess. Before, there was the Grand Mistress, and then there was Miss Lo. Women who read too much would be troublesome. My Qiaoqiao is still the most obedient.
"This, Miss Lo, what you mean is that your faith has quietly changed, right?" Lin Wanrong sorted out his words and carefully said. In fact, his original intention was to say that her view on choosing a spouse had gradually changed, but when the words came to his mouth, it turned into the vague word "faith". If he accidentally misled a good woman, it would be a big crime.
Luo Ning sighed softly and said, "Yes, Big Brother Lin, it is like this. Before I even realized it, it has already changed. "
F * ck, if that's the case, this little girl doesn't even know who she likes. This problem is really serious. Lin Wanrong cautiously said, "Miss Lo, don't tell me you really don't know who you like?"
Luo Ning blushed and said angrily, "Big Brother Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I know who I like."
"Oh …" Lin Wanrong made a long "oh" sound and said, "I understand, Miss Lo, because you like a person, and this person is completely different from the ideal person you used to yearn for, so your previous faith suddenly collapsed, right?"
Luo Ning blushed, she didn't say yes, but she also didn't say no.
Lin Wanrong's heart was clear, there is actually a person who can make this little girl give up her original faith, this person is really amazing. He laughed and said, "Liking a person is always unconsciously, those so-called love at first sight are all lies."
Luo Ning blushed and hurriedly said, "Big Brother Lin, I don't like him, I just like talking to him."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's all the same. Miss Lo, I still have the same words, life is bitter and short, do what you like, change how you want to change. Everything is not forced, my home is where my heart is at peace. "
After chatting with him for a while, Luo Ning felt like she had let go of a huge burden. She giggled and said, "Big Brother Lin, talking to you is really relaxing. I even learned a lot. I love talking to you the most."
