Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao had no idea what Madam Xia and her daughter were talking about. She was taken by Old Madam Xia personally to pay a visit to Grand Tutor Xia.

Old Mrs. Xia was a very kind elder, and she kept talking to her in a constant stream.

"What the old man is most worried about is Lingjun's marriage. Everyone in the house is worried that he won't be able to find a wife, and they must be eager to see the new bride!"

Shen Nanqiao had never known that Master Xia and Ning Su had such a close personal relationship, and he became even more respectful.

As she walked, she was thinking about what she should do when she met him in order to please the old man. After all, this was the first elder Ning Su brought her to meet, which was equivalent to her parents-in-law.

"There hasn't been a happy event in our house for a long time. The eldest daughter has been promised to someone else, but her future father-in-law is gone, and the son-in-law still has to observe mourning for a few years. It's still too early for the remaining children. You came just in time to add to the happiness."

Old Mrs. Xia chatted with her about family matters without any hesitation.

Shen Nanqiao secretly took note of it in her heart. No wonder the older girl, who was older than her, was still unmarried. This turned out to be the reason.

Although she was old, the old lady walked very fast. Shen Nanqiao jogged after her, her cheeks flushed.

"I have waited for more than ten years, and finally Lingjun got married. The old man told me that he was afraid he would not live to see this day. Look, the Bodhisattva has shown his power now."

The old lady kept chattering as she walked along, and Shen Nanqiao felt like he had no chance to get a word in.

Fortunately, the yard was not very big, and the old man and the child quickly climbed the stairs.

Master Xia was talking to Ning Su in the study room about something. He was slightly startled when he saw his wife leading a pretty girl in.

As the most learned man in Da Chu, he was also quite knowledgeable about Ma Yi's physiognomy. At a glance, he could tell that this little girl was a blessed person.

She has a full forehead, bright eyes, and a hint of dignity and grace, which is even more elegant than the current queen.

He frowned slightly.

Shen Hong had brought this little girl to his house when he was a child. When he saw the girl at that time, he did not remember her having such a blessed appearance.

Could it be that this person's bones also change as he gets older?

Taifu Xia has met countless people in his life, and rarely has he made mistakes in his judgments.

It was just that he had been serving the emperor for many years, so he was also very good at keeping a calm demeanor, so he just smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Xia felt quite dissatisfied and immediately scolded.

"When people don't come, you look forward to it, but when they come, you act reserved."

Master Xia has always been afraid of his wife. Although he has always emphasized that it is out of respect, as soon as the old lady opened her mouth, the usually serious master quickly forced a smile.

"I have been with them for so long that I didn't react for a moment."

Shen Nanqiao knew that this person held a very important position in the court, so he quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and racked his brains to praise him.

"You have taken good care of your golden ribbon. It blooms at this time of year. It shows that you have a connection with flowers. Many people would not be able to grow it so well even if they grow it in a greenhouse."

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Can you recognize this as a gold belt?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled.

"It's a rare and famous peony. It got its name because its flowers are all around the waist. From a distance, it looks like it's wearing a golden belt." He took two steps closer, looked at it carefully, and replied, "It's just that it's rare for ordinary people to grow it so well. This circle is just right, not too much or too little, and it's trimmed very delicately."

Master Xia became proud and nodded at his wife.

"Did you hear me? I said that my flower-growing skills are unmatched in Da Chu."

Old Mrs. Xia curled her lips.

"That's because she's a new girl, I don't want to offend you."

Master Xia ignored this and looked at Shen Nanqiao again.

"Come, recognize this pot."

Shen Nanqiao went over as he was told, and the flower was placed on the desk. It was obvious that it was a favorite of his and he must have played with it from time to time.

"The Eighteen Scholars, which bloom in October, must have used some tricks to bloom in this season." Shen Nanqiao expressed his admiration sincerely, "Although it is called the Eighteen Scholars, it is not easy for a flower to bloom two or three flowers. Yours has six flowers, which is really amazing."

Master Xia's eyes lit up.

"The little girl is very proficient in flowers and plants!"

Shen Nanqiao smiled modestly.

"A gentleman's six arts, gardening and tending to plants are all elegant things. How can my mere rudiments be worthy of being accepted in a high-class hall?" She paused for a moment, her tone more sincere, "You are the real expert."

Just this interaction made the old man so amused that he not only took her to visit his study, but also showed her the rare books that he would never show to others easily.

Ning Su didn't expect that the old man was so fond of Shen Nanqiao, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Old Mrs. Xia took the opportunity to pull the person aside and asked in a low voice.

"You know this girl's background, right?"

Ning Su calmly raised his eyelids and looked at the old man and the child who were chatting happily not far away, and nodded slightly.

The old lady sighed deeply.

"It's a pity for this child. Her mother is a famous lady. If she could raise her herself, she could even become the mother of the country."

Ning Su's eyes were dark and unclear.

Seeing this, Old Lady Xia didn't know what to say and patted him on the shoulder.

"We have prepared a simple meal at home. It is the taste of her mother's hometown. Let's eat it before we leave."

Before Ning Su could open his mouth, he was attracted by the laughter over there.

But Master Xia was seen holding a bunch of Chinese cabbages and ordering his servants with great energy.

"Take it to the kitchen and add some food to them tonight."

Shen Nanqiao quickly agreed.

"Then I am in for a treat, to be able to eat freshly picked vegetables in winter. Even if you can ride a horse eight hundred miles to the capital, it won't be as fresh as this."

The old tutor was very pleased with her tact and nodded repeatedly.

Shen Nanqiao went even further and flattered him.

"I didn't expect to be able to eat Qianjincai on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It looks like I'm going to be lucky this year!"

Ning Su was a little stunned.

Old Mrs. Xia was even more amazed.

"The old man doesn't allow anyone to touch the cabbages he has. Two days ago, the eldest girl asked to help thin out the seedlings, and she was scolded. Now she's giving them out to people to eat." She sighed, "Everyone has their own fate."

Ning Su was also caught off guard. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and laughed.

The two of them walked forward, and just then the old tutor led Shen Nanqiao out, and asked Ning Su to block the way and stand further away.

Ning Su knew that Shen Nanqiao was very good at dealing with people outside, but he never expected that the Grand Tutor actually liked her so much.

"I remember Shen Hong also taught you when you were young?"

Shen Nanqiao nodded.

"I dare not show off my skills in front of an expert. In front of the Master, I can only say that I can recognize a few words and keep accounts, so I am not considered blind."

The old tutor was in high spirits and ground the ink himself.

"In that case, I'll give you a copy of the calligraphy as a gift."

Shen Nanqiao was shocked. Master Xia was a great calligrapher of his time, and his calligraphy works were rarely seen. This gift was really too much.

She subconsciously looked at Ning Su.

Upon seeing this, Master Xia sneered.

"Why are you looking at him? Does he dare to stop me from sending you the calligraphy?"

As he spoke, he picked up his brush and wrote the two big words "Sui Xin". After the ink dried, he waved to Shen Nanqiao.

"Take it home and frame it."

Ning Su's idea moved, and he nodded to signal her to accept it. Perhaps this calligraphy could save his life in the future.

At this moment, Mrs. Xia came in leisurely from outside the door. Seeing this scene, she paused for a moment and then smiled.

"Father is really biased. You didn't even want to give away a piece of calligraphy as a dowry for your eldest daughter. This shows how much you value Lingjun, your new wife."

Master Xia also smiled.

"Maybe it's fate. I like this girl's personality. No wonder Lingjun married her in the end."

It was clearly a normal conversation, but Shen Nanqiao detected something odd.

Could it be that the eldest daughter of the Xia family had also discussed marriage with Ning Su?

Before I could think about it, I heard Mrs. Xia say again.

"Since my father has given me such a valuable gift, I can't just stay out of it." Then he nodded at Shen Nanqiao, "Come, follow your aunt. I'll give you something good."
