Chapter 50 Nostalgia
Luo Tianbao only understood Ning Sishun’s intention when he heard this. He thought about it and he had done a lot of effort. In fact, he didn’t take what happened yesterday much, and immediately smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, then I will let the Marquis arrange it.”
Ning Sishun was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at her sister-in-law Tang Feiyan again. In fact, Miss Tang San's temper really didn't want to reconcile with Luo Tianbao, but she respected her second brother-in-law Ning Sishun, and the other party had to sell her face. Therefore, she remained silent at that time. The noble lady sitting next to her saw that something was wrong and couldn't help but gently pull Tang Feiyan's sleeve. The latter understood the other party's meaning, and then said reluctantly: "I'll listen to my second brother-in-law."
Ning Sishun felt relieved when he saw the attitude of both parties, and immediately introduced the people. It turned out that the noble lady was Ning Sishun's wife, Tang Feiyan's second sister Tang Feifei. Luo Tianbao and others did not dare to be negligent when they heard that they were afraid of neglecting. Tang Feifei was generous and responded appropriately. It was really the style that a marquis should have. If the two of them had not looked a little similar, Luo Tianbao and others could not even believe that she and Tang Feiyan were actually sisters.
Everyone exchanged greetings before they got into the table. The dishes in the Hou Mansion were naturally exquisite and delicious. Ning Sishun and his wife kept talking to Luo Tianbao and Tang Feiyan during the meal, hoping to ease the conflict between the two. Luo Tianbao actually didn't take this matter much and was quite accepting in words, but Tang Feiyan was different. It was obvious that she was just because of her sister and brother-in-law's facial inconvenience, but she still had anger towards Luo Tianbao.
"I have such a big temper, who dares to marry me in the future?" Luo Tianbao saw it and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"I'm full, I'll lose my companion first." At this moment, Tang Feiyan wiped her mouth and was about to get up and leave the table. Ning Sishun and Tang Feifei and his wife were a little rude when they saw the third sister. They looked at her with their eyes, but Tang Feiyan pretended not to know, bowed to everyone and left, which made Ning Sishun and his wife very embarrassed.
"Don't be surprised by everyone, Feiyan is so willful."
Luo Tianbao and others had already understood Tang Feiyan's temper, but they didn't care. In addition, they did not blame the Ning couple for their face, and the banquet continued.
Ning Sishun seemed to remember something when Tang Feiyan left, and immediately asked: "Young Master Luo, what is the matter with you when you come to Xinjing this time?"
Luo Tianbao hesitated at first, but then he thought that the purpose of his trip did not seem to be hidden from Ning Sishun's need, so he immediately said: "Actually, I grew up in the capital, and there are many relatives and friends there. Isn't there any war there recently? I'm worried about their safety, so I came out to inquire."
"Isn't it okay to send someone else to do this? Why should you easily come out and take risks?"
Luo Tianbao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "There are a few of the old friends in the capital who are very close to me. I sent someone else to inquire about it, but I couldn't wait, so I decided to go this trip myself."
Ning Sishun nodded after hearing this: "So that's it. It seems that Mr. Luo is still a person who values love and friendship."
"The Marquis praised him."
"Actually, I grew up in the capital. There are many old friends in me, so I can understand Mr. Luo's mood." Ning Sishun couldn't help but sigh, as if he seemed a little melancholy. Seeing this, Luo Tianbao suddenly remembered some rumors about Ning Sishun that he had heard before.
Ning Sishun's father was the elder brother of King Youyun. Although the two brothers were born to the same mother, they had different ambitions. King Youyun was determined to seize the world, but his brother was loyal to the court. He even warned the court several times before King Youyun started a rebellion. Unfortunately, the court did not pay attention to it at that time, but the two brothers officially broke up. After King Youyun raised his army, his brother was afraid of being implicated, so he took the initiative to take his family to the capital to surrender. Fortunately, the emperor was not too confused and did not hold him accountable, but let him stay in the capital and serve as a free position.
Ning Sishun's situation was a bit special. In the early years, King Youyun's rebellion had not been exposed, and he made many military achievements in the northern border. In order to allow his eldest son Ning Sishun to accumulate some merits and make great achievements in the future, his brother arranged for him to serve under King Youyun. At that time, the two brothers had not yet had a good time. King Youyun also hoped to arrange more of his own people under his command, so he promoted his nephew quite well. Ning Sishun himself also made great progress and performed well in the army, becoming a famous young general in the Youyun army. Everything seemed beautiful until King Youyun rebelled.
There are different opinions about Ning Sishun's attitude towards his uncle's rebellion, but the most widely circulated version is that Ning Sishun stood on the side of his father and the court and opposed his uncle's rebellion. This directly led to his military power being removed by King Youyun in the later period. However, although it was a brother who turned against him, he had not done anything to Ning Sishun's nephew, King Youyun, and later arranged a free position for him, but excluded him from the decision-making level. Otherwise, Ning Sishun's identity would not be just a marquis now. Judging from his current expression, he obviously had nostalgia for the capital, his father, and even the court.
Although Luo Tianbao was relatively neutral in this rebellion, he grew up in the capital and felt somewhat intimate about the imperial court and the official army. Therefore, he had a very similar feeling to Ning Sishun's idea. He immediately comforted him: "Marquis, don't worry, good people will have their own appearance. I think those people you are thinking about can naturally turn bad luck into good luck."
Ning Sishun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, let Mr. Luo and you all laugh. Okay, for Mr. Luo's words, let's drink another drink, and I wish all the people we miss can be safe."
When everyone heard this, they raised their glasses and drank them all. After Zhu Jiu, Ning Sishun continued to ask: "Without hearing about the old friends, Mr. Luo has no other purpose to come to Xinjing this time?"
Luo Tianbao was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Mr. Marquis, do you mean?"
Ning Sishun looked around and immediately possessed herself and approached Luo Tianbao and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I just talked directly. My uncle has always been interested in asking the virtuous and his son to come out to achieve great things together. Could you come to Xinjing this time to negotiate this matter?"
Luo Tianbao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this. He expected that Ning Sishun would probably ask about these things, but how should he answer? His original intention was that he was not willing to cooperate with the rebels, but now this place is the territory of others and he can't speak too clearly. At this point, Luo Tianbao had to vaguely say: "Actually, we are just trying to find out the news in the capital this time, and there is no other intention. Moreover, my father has always been the subject of this matter, so I dare not act randomly."
Ning Sishun heard Luo Tianbao and seemed to want to capture Luo Tianbao's true intention from his expression. After a while, he said: "Mr. Luo, although this is the first time we meet, I think you are a loyal and friendly person. Moreover, my father-in-law and Ling Zun are very friendly. We are not outsiders, so I have a few words in my heart. I wonder if Mr. Luo can listen to it."
Luo Tianbao hurriedly said, "I wish to hear the great theory."
