The air at noon was so stuffy that people were almost suffocating, but Ning Yujin felt that her whole heart was chilling.
We came to the back garden of the uncle's house with 108. Before we walked in, we saw the garden full of servants and maids running around, making it very busy.
"Hey, hey, where is the person in charge? What's going on with this potted flower? Why are you still standing there? Someone please move it away!"
"Who spilled water here without their own lives? Clean it up quickly!"
"There's this, this, and that. The branches have grown so long. You guys just eat and don't do anything on weekdays. How do you take care of them?"
Ning Yujin walked over and said with a smile: "Butler, don't get angry. It's easy to get angry in hot weather."
Ning Gui, who was directing everyone, turned his head when he heard the sound, and quickly saluted Ning Yujin and said: "Third Miss, it's hard not to be angry. His Highness Prince Ding is coming soon. In this huge yard, even caterpillars have to be dealt with."
It’s clean and there’s no room for any mistakes.”
Even the bugs have to be dealt with, is it so exaggerated?!
Ning Yujin's eyes twitched, she glanced around, and couldn't help but say: "The big housekeeper must work harder. With this workload, there is a long way to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young boy running over in a hurry, saluting the two of them, and said to Ning Gui out of breath: "Butler, Prince Ding...His Royal Highness Prince Ding is here!
"
"Why are you here now?" Ning Gui patted his thigh anxiously, then turned to look at Ning Yujin, "The third lady..."
Ning Yujin waved her hand quickly: "It's okay, go and do your work, I'll go back right away."
"The little man will take your leave first." Ning Gui hurriedly saluted again and almost trotted away.
Ning Yujin ran out on purpose, so naturally she couldn't just go back. She waved to 108 who was hiding in the bushes, pointed to the rockery next to her and said, "Let's go up there."
As soon as 08 understood, a silhouette floated up from the bushes to the top of the rockery, and he fished her up with him.
There are many rockeries in Uncle Ning's Mansion, but no one is more familiar with where to go and where to go than Ning Yujin. With little effort, she followed the direction where the housekeeper Ning Gui left and found the direction facing the house.
Mo Jingxiao and his party were walking towards the garden.
From a distance, you can clearly see the outline of Mo Jingxiao.
He is taller than Ning Zhongjian and the two young masters in his family. When he walks, he has an upright posture and is as handsome as a pine tree, with a toughness developed from years of staying in the military camp.
The contrast with the people around me is so stark.
It was just like the day he rode back to Beijing and she leaned against the window and looked at him. There were so many people and such a chaotic scene, but at the first glance, people could easily catch his figure.
The moment she saw Mo Jingxiao, Ning Yujin realized that not only was her heart cold, but her hands and feet were also extremely cold.
She suddenly wanted to retreat.
However, as soon as he glanced at Ning Yuning, who was hurriedly coming from the left, all Ning Yujin's worries suddenly disappeared.
Xiangyue cried like a rabbit with red eyes. Xiangqiao didn't forget to hug her when she slept. She was afraid that she would be bullied. Knowing that Ning Yuning was about to push her to Yu Zhenji, she was so surprised.
The anger turned into a firm hand, pushing on her back, refusing to allow her to take a step back.
This time, it's really a matter of failure or failure.
etc……
Mo Jingxiao glanced this way. Did he see her?
Ning Yujin's heart tightened, and she looked again, only to see that he was talking to Ning Zhongjian with his head turned, his eyelids were lightly drooped, and he was looking ahead casually.
No one looked at her at all. Was she too nervous and dazzled?
Phew, calm down Ning Yujin, even if Mo Jingxiao really pisses you off, don't you still hold a big bargaining chip in your hand? As long as you still have the value of existence, you will be fine.
After calming down, he glanced towards Ning Yuning.
She had now entered a pavilion, which had been covered with pink gauze tents. There was a guqin in the pavilion, which was beautifully decorated.
Ning Yuning sat down holding the hem of Baidie's flowered skirt and waved everyone away.
Seeing this, Ning Yujin had to admire their careful thinking.
Look at the setting of this scene, with the pink gauze rising, the fragrance of flowers swirling around, and the addition of a beautiful and beautiful person who is more beautiful than the flowers, it immediately gives off a dreamlike feeling.
I'm afraid that at first glance, people who have never seen the world might think it's some otherworldly wonderland or a fairy from heaven.
After Ning Yuning sat down, she began to reach out and pluck the strings.
A little clear sound flowed through the fingers, and a song "Fishing Boat Sings Evening", with elegant tune and soothing rhythm, slowly floated away and spread naturally to the other side of the garden.
As expected, Mo Jingxiao and his party were attracted by the sudden sound of the piano. They all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
However, Mo Jingxiao didn't seem to be very interested in the sound of the piano. He only glanced at it indifferently, then turned around and continued walking forward.
Ning Yujin could see clearly from the top of the rockery. In fact, as long as Mo Jingxiao turned around from the intersection and walked a few steps, he could see Ning Yuning, but he had no intention of going there.
Ning Zhongjian was a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk to Mo Jingxiao, probably trying to think of ways to lure Mo Jingxiao to Ning Yuning's side.
Ning Yujin understood what Ning Zhongjian was thinking. The matter of choosing the king and concubine had been going on for so long without a conclusion, and he was also anxious. This time, he went out of his way to arrange for Ning Yuning to "encounter" Mo Jingxiao in the garden.
I just wanted to settle things between them as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
But Mo Jingxiao didn't follow his plan at all. He kept moving forward and saw that he was already separated from Ning Yuning. How could he not be in a hurry?
Ning Yujin was struggling at the moment: Was she dazzled this time or was she thinking too much? Why did she always feel that Mo Jingxiao was walking in the direction of her?
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment. She was about to let 108 take her out of the way first, but she saw the key figure of this good show officially appearing on the path to the right.
Ning Zhongjian had already asked people to clear the garden. Except for Ning Yuning, the female family members in the backyard, including the eldest lady, were not allowed to come freely.
So when Qiao Yun hurriedly stumbled over to block everyone's way, Ning Zhongjian looked stunned, and then got angry on the spot: "Who let this person in? I won't take him down yet!"
Ning Gui, who was following behind, quickly stepped forward to apologize to Nuonuo, and quickly waved someone over to drag Qiao Yun away.
Qiao Yun watched several tall servants walking towards him, and was immediately frightened by the formation in front of him. He stood there blankly, forgetting to speak or salute.
Under such circumstances, let alone getting her to act as planned, it would be difficult even to get her to speak!
Ning Yujin suddenly jumped up and down in anxiety: "I knew this Qiaoyun was unreliable."
It's good now. Originally, she didn't plan to take action in person, but now she had to let her go in person.
She was about to let 108 send her down, but at this moment, Mo Jingxiao suddenly spoke and interrupted: "Uncle, are you always like this, taking people without asking any questions?"
