At the side entrance of a high-rise courtyard, a carriage stopped.
A young boy wearing a dark-colored crescent-white robe got out of the car and knocked on the door three times long and three times short. After a while, the door opened in response.
She waved at the carriage and quickly slipped in.
The huge house, with corner tiles and cornices, winding corridors, small bridges and flowing water, and numerous rockeries, is so grand!
But she walked along a winding path and walked into a lonely small courtyard.
"Miss, you're back!" As soon as she entered the door, Xiangyue hurried over to greet her, her expression unconcealable anxiety.
Ning Yujin walked and asked, "What happened?"
If Xiangqiao still had ideas about what to do with her, Xiangyue was usually the quietest one, but she had never been so anxious.
Xiangyue pushed her into the room and took out the clothes from the closet: "Miss, please change your clothes first."
Ning Yujin also felt something was wrong, so she didn't say anything more and quickly asked Xiangyue to change her clothes.
The green and flowery skirt stretches to the floor, a crescent white silver silk dark pattern top is covered on top, and then the feet are stuffed into the exquisite embroidered shoes.
After finishing dressing, before Ning Yujin could breathe a sigh of relief, she was pressed down by Xiangyue and sat in front of the dressing table.
Drawing eyebrows, dotting red lips, dyeing rouge, and twisting hair on the sideburns, Xiangyue's skills skillfully arranged everything for her.
Ning Yujin rolled her eyes and said angrily: "It's not like we're going on a blind date. Why do we dress up so beautifully?"
"Miss, you are talking nonsense again!" Xiangyue frowned slightly and scolded dissatisfiedly, "As the third lady of the Ningbo Mansion, the lady should dress up beautifully every day, instead of acting like a wild boy.
Being exposed outside..."
Listening to Xiangyue talking and talking about preaching, Ning Yujin thought about Sanbao and herself, and wondered whether she was treating them too well on weekdays, so they all bullied her?
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Ning Yujin heard that Xiangyue had already mentioned her marriage, and quickly waved her hand to interrupt.
This was something bad in ancient times. She felt that she was still a little loli, so everyone started to care about her marriage.
Xiangyue finally put a jasper hairpin on Ning Yujin's hairpin and said, "The eldest lady is back home today and she has asked you to see her by name."
"If she doesn't just be her concubine in Prince Xing's palace, why did she come to see me?" Ning Yujin thought about Ning Yuyan who had never looked at her seriously, and reached out to undo her hair, "Just say
I'm sick."
Xiangyue quickly reached out to stop her: "The eldest lady said that if you are sick, she will come to see you personally."
Ning Yujin reached out and slapped her forehead: "Oh, my brain!"
Ning Yuyan is a well-deserved golden branch and jade leaf.
She was born as the eldest daughter of the entire Ningbo Mansion and enjoyed countless favors, but her treatment was not comparable to that of a concubine like Ning Yujin who was almost starved to death by her maids.
As for her appearance, she was both good-looking and well-informed. Later, she was taken away by the emperor's nephew, Prince Xing, and became the concubine of Prince Xing's palace.
Ning Yujin was not impressed by her because she often claimed to be sick or was "called sick" and could not attend family gatherings on various festivals.
The only few times I saw her, I only saw her arrogant chin raised high. My impression of her was not bad, but not much better.
Following Xiang Yue into the eldest lady's courtyard, I saw a riot of flowers outside the house from a distance, and the maids dressed in red and green were even more beautiful than the spring flowers.
The maids did not bow to Ning Yujin when they saw her, they just pretended not to see her and continued talking and laughing.
"Go in." Ning Yujin held down Xiangyue who was about to get angry, and walked into the eldest lady's room calmly.
They are just some blind snobbery, there is no need to waste your expressions on those things that dirty your eyes.
There were not many people in the room, so the figure leaning on the soft couch talking to the eldest lady came directly into her eyes.
Wearing a crimson dress with flowers and brocade, and wearing a jasper Zan phoenix hairpin on her head, she lightly covered her mouth and was chatting and laughing with the eldest lady. She was indescribably luxurious.
"You said you wanted to eat Yunhe cakes, and the next day His Highness Prince Xing went to the Queen Mother's Palace to get a box for you? His Highness Prince Xing is really nice to the Queen Mother."
"Mom, how many times have I told you, just call me Yan'er at home."
"How can this be done? Your father said that etiquette cannot be abolished."
The two mother and daughter were chatting and laughing there, and Ning Yujin became the background when she entered the door. Several maids standing next to her were watching their noses and hearts, but no one came forward to inform her.
Oh, there's another one who's doing the background work.
Aunt Li was standing beside the eldest lady with her head bowed, serving the two people respectfully.
And her eight-year-old daughter, Ning Yuyi, the fourth daughter of the Ning family, was also standing aside, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, looking at her toes, wondering what she was thinking.
Aunt Li was the maidservant of the eldest lady. Later, she made the decision and made her an aunt, allowing her to give birth to such a little girl.
Ning Yujin felt that it would be better not to give birth to a baby.
They are both sisters, but their treatment is very different. Who can be balanced in their hearts? If they are not balanced in their hearts, they will get sick.
Ning Yuyan seemed to have finally discovered Ning Yujin at this time. She covered her lips and was surprised: "Hey, when did the third sister come and no one informed her?"
"I just arrived and saw that the empress and the madam were chatting happily, so I didn't dare to disturb her." Ning Yujin lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head. In front of outsiders, she had always been the sickly and incompetent third young lady of the Ning family.
Ning Yuyan was very satisfied with her knowledge. She stretched out her well-maintained hand and waved at her: "Third sister, come here quickly and let me take a look."
Ning Yujin kept muttering in her heart, did Ning Yuyan take the wrong medicine today?
You usually act like you don't have her as a person, so why are you so warm to her all of a sudden today?
