Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Because of this sentence, Shen Nanqiao was still thinking about it until he got on the carriage.

But when asked again, Ning Su remained silent, as if he didn't want to talk more.

She had no choice but to shift her attention to the tutor she was going to meet next.

The Xia family has extremely upright traditions. Two generations of the family have only married one wife, and there is a family motto that one can take a concubine only if the man is forty and has no children.

So even though there are three generations living under one roof, the population is quite simple.

When her mother was still alive, she once brought her to accompany Shen Hong to visit, but so many years have passed that she has no memory of it.

All I remember is that Xia Tianyin, the son of Grand Tutor Xia, married Fang Wenqing, the eldest daughter of Censor Fang, and this Miss Fang seemed to be a childhood sweetheart of Emperor Ming.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly had an idea in his mind. That day in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Ming mentioned the little granddaughter of the Xia family for a reason. Maybe it was related to this Madam Xia?

She straightened up suddenly, startling Ning Su who was standing beside her.

"Why are you so startled?"

Before he could finish his words, he was frightened by Shen Nanqiao's suddenly approaching face and stepped back repeatedly.

"The Emperor and Madam Xia..." The little girl's voice changed with excitement, "You must know something, right?"

It turned out to be because of this matter.

Ning Su calmly distanced himself from the two of them.

"Why do you say that?"

The carriage turned a corner and she was a little unsteady, so she simply held Ning Su's shoulders, which brought the two of them closer together.

"That day when the Emperor asked about the Xia family, you were able to tell the age of the young lady very quickly. You must have known them very well..."

Having said this, she suddenly choked.

They are not very old and have known each other since childhood. Tutor Xia can be considered as Ning Su's half-mentor, so the unresolved question from last night suddenly had an answer.

Ning Su was puzzled when he saw that she suddenly stopped talking.

"Why are not you talking?"

Shen Nanqiao slowly sat back in his original position.

"Suddenly I feel like there's nothing much to say."

Ning Su didn't know what was wrong with her, but he could see that the girl looked unhappy, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Madam Xia used to study with the emperor, so they have a good personal relationship."

Shen Nanqiao's attention was immediately drawn.

"Can a girl enter the palace to be a tutor to the prince?"

Ning Su laughed. This girl always has the ability to distort the facts.

"When the emperor was young, he was not in good health, so Taifu Xia taught him individually. At that time, Madam Xia was also Taifu Xia's student. Because she was studious, she often came to listen to his lessons, so their relationship was closer than that of others."

This is not difficult to understand.

The prince who was not in good health and the ambitious girl who was studious and inquisitive should have been a beautiful story.

"Then His Majesty and Madam Xia..."

"Stop at the etiquette." Ning Su's words were concise and to the point, but they fully expressed the regrets of two people for half a lifetime.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly realized. No wonder Emperor Ming showed such regret when he heard that Madam Xia's youngest daughter was still young.

Perhaps they hope that the perfection that they have not achieved in themselves can be passed on to the next generation.

That's not right. The prince is thirteen this year. If he is younger than him...

"Does Madam Xia have other daughters?"

Ning Su didn't know what she meant by this, but he answered her anyway.

"The eldest daughter is two years older than you and has already been betrothed. The youngest daughter is still young."

Shen Nanqiao's heart, which had just felt relieved, was instantly blocked again. She said that the one Ning Su loved in the past was naturally not the little daughter who was not even a child yet.

From this point of view, it must be the eldest granddaughter of the Xia family.

Shen Nanqiao took out a small diamond-shaped mirror from the compartment under the carriage seat and carefully examined her makeup.

Ning Su was quite puzzled and gave a kind reminder.

"Teacher Xia is already over seventy years old and is not someone who values ​​appearance."

Shen Nanqiao snorted without even raising his eyelids.

"A woman dresses to please herself. A wife is the face of her husband. If I don't put on makeup properly, it's you who will be embarrassed."

Ning Su keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he shut up immediately.

The carriage rushed silently towards Master Xia's residence.

I don’t know if he had been informed in advance, but as soon as the doorman saw the Ning Mansion’s carriage, he immediately went in to report.

In a short while, Xia Tianyin, the current head of the Xia family, came out in person. He looked to be about 40 years old, about the same age as Shen Nanqiao's father, but he exuded a kind of warmth and kindness from the inside out.

"Lingjun came early this year. Come in quickly. Father has been waiting for you since early morning."

Ning Su slightly turned half of his body to the side.

"She got married last year, and today I brought her here to meet my mentor."

Xia Tianyin's eyes fell on Shen Nanqiao and he smiled gently.

"I heard early in the morning that Lingjun had married a new wife, so my father guessed that you were coming to visit with your younger brother and sister-in-law. It's windy outside, so let's talk inside. Your sister-in-law and her two maids are here too, so let's ask them to come and play together later."

Shen Nanqiao's ears were sharp, and he immediately perked up, as if he was going to meet his love rival.

Ning Su didn't know why she suddenly became so emotional, so he could only whisper her instructions.

"You can follow Madam Xia and the others to the backyard later. The old lady is kind and will not embarrass you."

Shen Nanqiao chuckled, looking very calm and confident.

"Don't worry, my husband. I know my limits."

As he was speaking, he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman coming towards him.

She was very pretty, with her hair tied up in a neat single bun and no extra hair accessories. Even on a day like the first day of the Lunar New Year, she only used a jade hairpin.

Shen Nanqiao knew that this was Madam Xia, and he bowed politely and performed the etiquette of a junior.

"After all, she is a girl from the Shen family, so she is quite polite." Madam Xia took her hand and led her towards the inner courtyard, "Let's talk inside first."

Shen Nanqiao turned around, nodded to Ning Su, and followed Madam Xia without even touching the ground.

This man looks cold and aloof, but he is actually very warm and hospitable.

After they went down the stairs, they came to the main hall, where a girl wearing a green cloak came out. She looked about the same age as her.

"Mom is here, who is this?"

When Shen Nanqiao heard the address, he knew that this was the eldest daughter of the Xia family, and he looked up calmly.

But the man's facial features were very delicate, probably because he came from a scholarly family, and there was an unconscious coldness between his brows.

Originally she was somewhat curious, but now she felt that it would be blasphemous to impose her jealousy on such a person.

"This is Ning Changchen's new wife. According to seniority, you should call her little aunt." She turned around and looked at Shen Nanqiao, who had a woman's bun but still looked young, and smiled, "But for such a beautiful girl, I'm really afraid of calling her old."

When Miss Xia heard that she was Ning Su's wife, she put away the slight smile that had just appeared on her face and just nodded indifferently.

The emotion that Shen Nanqiao had just suppressed suddenly surfaced again.

This is our first meeting. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?
