030 Be careful when speaking ill behind your back 1
Ning Zhongjian ignored her and said coldly: "If you want to embarrass yourself from now on, just stay in the house, don't go out and embarrass yourself."
"Master!" Aunt Zhao's eyes widened with tears. She never expected that Ning Zhongjian would say such serious words to her!
"I'm tired, you all should leave." Ning Zhongjian didn't look at Aunt Zhao anymore, flicked his sleeves, left everyone behind and went into the back room of the study.
Aunt Zhao didn't understand the sudden change in Ning Zhongjian's attitude. Ning Yuning only frowned and stared at Ning Yujin.
On the table, the eldest lady sipped her tea slowly and said leisurely: "Yu Ning, I'm not telling you, you are so confused. Miss Shen from Duke Xinguo's house and Miss Su from Prime Minister Su's house, those are Chang Jin The person who accompanies the Queen in the palace. You said that if people know that all the ladies in Ningbo Mansion have this kind of virtue, how will Yu Jin and Yu Yi get married in the future? Where will the master's face be put?"
After all, Aunt Zhao's scope of activities is only within the Ningbo Mansion. There is no way that she can have a place as a concubine in the circle of ladies in Shengjing.
She could easily control Ning Zhongjian, but she had only a partial understanding of the intricacies of the various families outside.
After hearing this, she finally understood what the eldest lady meant.
If this matter really gets serious, let alone Ning Yujin and Ning Yuyi not being able to get married, Ning Yuning will definitely be the first to bear the brunt!
The eldest lady fiddled with the tea leaves on the surface of the tea with the cup lid, and a seemingly embarrassed look appeared on her face: "Oh, and Old Duke Shen and Prime Minister Su are both on good terms with Prince Ding, what do you think if His Highness Prince Ding knows that Yu Ning can be so cruel to her own sister, so Princess Ding..."
"Madam..." Aunt Zhao panicked at this moment and rushed to the eldest lady's side.
Ning Yujin wisely withdrew at this time. Before leaving, she did not forget to give the eldest lady a meaningful look, leaving Aunt Zhao and Ning Yuning with a sense of suspense.
It is unknown what the outcome of the subsequent communication between the eldest lady and Aunt Zhao was, but it seems that Xiangyue said excitedly, "Miss, you don't know, Aunt Zhao's yard was very lively last night, and I guess a lot of things were smashed." The communication between the two people obviously ended in failure.
The eldest lady sold Qiao Ling and took Nanny Lin to a village in Quan Ningbo Mansion. The specific whereabouts were not disclosed to Aunt Zhao. She was very proud of herself for a long time.
The two pieces of gauze silk were also given to Su Yuehua and Shen Yixuan. Ning Yujin also gave them a VIP card for Baishanzhai, which allows them to enjoy priority in the private room at Baishanzhai and a 30% discount on the price. The two of them also I quickly replied to the letter and asked her to go out and get together sometime.
Ning Yujin sent someone to reply to the letter again. As time went by, the relationship between the two of them became better and better.
Quan Ningbo's house has been strangely quiet recently. Aunt Zhao and Ning Yuning were probably hurt by the rumors of bullying, and they also lost their right and left arm, so they have been a little too peaceful during this period. He didn't provoke the eldest lady, nor did he seek to bring trouble upon her.
As for the eldest lady, because Ning Zhongjian did not stay with Aunt Zhao during this period, and she was in high spirits during happy events, she also liked Ning Yujin more, and sent her some things if she had any.
It is such a comfortable life to live such a comfortable and contentious life.
It's a pity that all peace and tranquility are superficial. Half a month after the Peony Party, Ning Yujin was fishing in the small pond in the mansion when she saw Xiangqiao running over in a hurry.
Ning Yujin raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at her, and said slowly: "Why are you so anxious? You scared away all my fish."
Xiangyue looked at the fishing rod that had not been moved all morning, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Are there any fish here?"
Ning Yujin curled her lips and looked away: "Tsk, I've told you several times that fishing is not for fishing, but for self-cultivation."
"Yes, yes, miss, you have been fishing for so long, but I haven't seen how you have cultivated your body or nature." Xiangyue rolled her eyes, stood up and patted Xiangqiao's back, "Stop a moment, what's the matter?
Speak slowly."
"Xiao Xiaoxiao... Miss..." Xiangqiao put her hands on her hips and took a few deep breaths, and said anxiously, "I heard the mistress at the door say... say... say..."
Ning Yujin and Xiangyue tilted their heads and waited for Xiangqiao's next words, but she seemed to be stuck there, and she didn't say anything after "talking" for a long time.
"Here, have a sip of sour plum soup." Ning Yujin picked up the bowl on the table and handed it to Xiangqiao. Xiangqiao immediately took it and took a big gulp, and then she finally regained her breath.
"Miss, the mistress said that someone is coming from Prince Ding's palace!"
"What?" Ning Yujin's eyes twitched, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Recently, the whole Shengjing city has been buzzing with rumors that King Ding has a crush on someone in Mudan, but they haven't said who it is. The whole Shengjing city is speculating on which girl is so lucky, but there is no trace to follow.
After half a month, someone suddenly came to Prince Ding's Mansion. Could it be...could it be...
Could it be that Mo Jingxiao really fell in love with Ning Yuning?
Ning Yujin quickly asked: "Did King Ding come in person?"
Xiangqiao shook her head: "I heard that he is a staff member of His Highness Prince Ding. Everyone calls him Mr. Murong."
Oh, that old fox.
Ning Yujin's heart suddenly dropped, and she lay back on the wicker chair again, eating various iced fruits, catching fish, and continuing her self-cultivation.
As long as Mo Jingxiao doesn't come in person, she won't be able to resist that guy.
"Then in what name did he come?"
It definitely can't be something like "Prince Ding has fallen in love with your daughter, let me take a look at it." People in ancient times were very reserved.
Xiangqiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that the post Mr. Murong handed over said that he was here to discuss calligraphy with the master. That's what the mistress told me. I don't know the details."
"Comparing calligraphy...poof!"
Ning Yujin was really glad that she was not drinking sour plum soup at the moment, otherwise she would have to go back and change clothes if it sprayed on her body, which would be troublesome.
Ning Zhongjian is a person who likes to show off his elegance. He likes to write and draw when he has nothing to do. He also looks for people to appreciate him everywhere, but his level is not that good.
As for Murong Xuan, she specifically asked Lu and his party to investigate, only to find out that this old fox had quite a lot of background.
From the rural examination to the imperial examination to the palace examination, from Jieyuan to Huiyuan to the number one scholar. There were very few people who passed the Sanyuan exam in Daye Dynasty, not to mention that he was only in his early twenties at the time.
Three years ago, I asked Shengjing who was the most famous, and Murong Xuan was the most famous.
Emperor Chengguang appointed him to the Hanlin Academy, and many wealthy families wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. But they refused and insisted on following Mo Jingxiao to the front line. At that time, he broke the hearts of many women in his boudoir.
And the man not only has literary talent, he also writes good calligraphy and draws good paintings. And according to Ning Yujin’s last contact with him, that man also has good medical skills!
When such a person came to discuss calligraphy with Ning Zhongjian, Ning Yujin had only one expression - haha.
"On the cusp of the election of the king, Murong Xuan paid a visit. The meaning of this is self-evident." Ning Yujin lay lazily on the wicker chair, squinting her eyes and slightly hooking the corners of her mouth, half-smiling.
Next to her, Xiangyue gritted her teeth and seemed unwilling to give in: "Is it possible that His Highness Prince Ding really falls in love with the second young lady?"
Ning Yujin opened her big white teeth and smiled at her: "Do you still expect him to like me?"
