Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival dinner, Ning Yujin always claimed to be sick in bed, and today she thought of repeating the same trick.
Anyway, the eldest lady is "sick" and Aunt Zhao doesn't want to see her. Ning Zhongjian doesn't care about these things at all. It would be better if she didn't go.
Unexpectedly, just after sending away the people who were sent by Aunt Zhao to symbolically invite her, a second group of people immediately came to the door.
Xiangyue immediately welcomed them out, preparing to send away the people who came this time. However, after a while, she came into the room, and the expression on her face was not optimistic.
Ning Yujin raised her head and glanced at her, then lowered her head and asked while eating rice dumplings: "Look at your sad face, what happened?"
Xiangyue walked to sit next to her and said somewhat unhappily: "What else could happen? The eldest lady suddenly came back from Prince Xing's Mansion today. She even specially sent someone to tell you that you must go to the dinner party later."
Ning Yuyan is back?
Ning Yujin's eyes were startled, and she was slightly surprised.
Logically speaking, for an orthodox festival like this, the royal family and relatives would enter the palace to celebrate the festival together.
As a side concubine of Prince Xing, Ning Yuyan is also qualified to enter the palace and attend banquets.
According to the practice of previous years, it was impossible for her to go home on this day.
Is it possible that she came back specially to help the eldest lady this time? Then why did she send someone to tell her to attend?
Ning Yujin thought about it for a while but still couldn't come to a conclusion, so she didn't think about it too much. She smiled at Xiangyue and comforted her: "I'm just going to a dinner party. I'll be back soon. You don't have to act like this."
Not willing."
Xiangyue sighed: "Xiangqiao and I have been preparing today's dinner since yesterday. We have worked so hard to prepare so many good dishes, but you are not here. Isn't it all wasted?"
"Don't waste, don't waste!" When Ning Yujin mentioned food, she immediately changed her attitude, "Even if I go to the dinner party later, I guess I won't be able to eat anything under the turbulent undercurrent. You give me
I’ll keep them all, and I’ll come back for a late-night snack.”
Xiangyue's forehead twitched: "Miss, if you keep eating like this, your appetite will almost catch up with Xiaoba's."
Ning Yujin waved her hands indifferently: "It's okay, I can still afford to support myself."
Xiangyue suddenly couldn't hold it back and rolled her eyes towards the sky.
After dressing up, Ning Yujin, dressed in a simple and elegant long dress with lightly tied hair on her temples, walked towards the hall accompanied by Xiangyue.
She had just walked halfway into the flower garden when she saw someone suddenly jump out from beside her and shouted happily to her: "Third Sister!"
Ning Yujin and Xiangyue were both startled, and after taking a closer look, they breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
"This is Master Yuanzhou. Your appearance is a little too unique, isn't it?"
Ning Yujin glanced at him up and down, and said with a look of disgust: "How unique is he? It's just a surprise. It's better not to scare people to death."
Ning Yuanzhou immediately clasped his hands at Ning Yujin and apologized: "Third sister, I was wrong. I shocked you. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please spare me this time."
Ning Yujin snorted softly and was about to say something, but she suddenly heard a voice: "What are Yuanzhou and Third Sister saying? They are so happy. Why don't you say it too and let us listen too."
Looking back, I saw the figures of two people not far away from far away, and their outlines gradually became clearer. Suddenly, they were Ning Yuanzhi and Ning Yuanfeng.
She immediately suppressed her smile and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Eldest brother, second brother."
Ning Yuanzhou also cupped his hands and said, "Brother, Brother Feng."
Ning Yuanzhi didn't want to think about Ning Yujin. He walked straight to Ning Yuanzhou, reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Good boy, we haven't seen each other for only a few months, but you are already taller than me."
Got it!"
Ning Yuanzhou touched his head and smiled: "Maybe it's because I eat more, so I grow faster."
Ning Yuanzhi was immediately amused by his words. He couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "Yuanzhou is not young anymore. Your uncle and aunt must have started looking for a girl from a certain family for you, right?"
"Haha, brother is really joking."
Ning Yuanzhi saw that Ning Yuanzhou was unwilling to ask this question, so he didn't ask any more questions and directly stated his main purpose: "Well, the second uncle brought me all the things I asked for last time.
Bar?"
A trace of imperceptible disgust and contempt flashed in Ning Yuanzhou's eyes, but his face was still full of smile: "I have brought them all, and have been moved to the eldest brother. I will go to the Jiangxian Chengni Inkstone that Brother Feng asked for last time.
I also brought a piece back with me when I was in Huizhou, so I’ll remember it for you.”
"Okay, okay, let me tell you, Yuanzhou is the most interesting!"
Ning Yuanzhi immediately beamed with joy, and even Ning Yuanfeng was slightly happy when he heard "Jiangxian Chengni Inkstone".
The three of them were about to go back to see something. Before Ning Yuanzhou left, he secretly turned around and made a face at Ning Yujin.
Ning Yujin suddenly chuckled: "This guy."
The population of the direct lineage of Quan Ningbo Mansion is very simple. When the old man came to be, if the daughter was ignored, he only had two sons, the eldest son Ning Zhongjian, and the second son Ning Zhongqin.
After the death of the old man, Ning Zhongjian inherited the hereditary title, while Ning Zhongqin branched out and returned to his hometown to start business. He would bring his family to Shengjing only during the holidays every year.
And every time he came, the things he brought would be loaded onto several large carts. These included several large boxes of real money and silver, gifts for each house, wife and young master, leather and furs, precious herbs, and damasks.
Luo satin... everything is available.
It was quite interesting that Ning Yujin and Ning Yuanzhou met. She was still young and he was not old at that time.
That time, the second master, Ning Zhongqin, was not here because he had something to do, so he asked him to deliver all the things he had dragged there. No one should be missing, and no one should be mistaken.
He is also smart. He remembers everything given to each room and place, and he didn't mistake it for the wrong person. But after all the gifts were given, he discovered that there was an extra one, and he was immediately surprised.
:Isn’t there a third lady in the uncle’s house? Why haven’t I heard anyone mention her?
He also realized that since everyone had given it away, he couldn't let this one go. So he took the gift box in his hand and walked to the dilapidated courtyard and met Ning Yujin at that time.
What was Ning Yujin doing at that time?
Oh, she wanted to climb up the wall to pick pomegranates to eat, but she lost her grip and fell down, squatting on her butt.
When Ning Yuanzhou walked into the courtyard, she was rubbing her butt and cursing and getting ready. The two of them immediately stared at each other.
After a long while, Ning Yuanzhou asked: "Don't you feel any pain?"
Ning Yujin nodded: "It hurts."
"Then why don't you cry?"
Ning Yujin was stunned, then curled her lips and said, "Crying after falling. That's what children do."
Ning Yuanzhou suddenly laughed: "It is really strange for a child under ten years old to say that crying is something only children do."
Ning Yujin thought for a while, blinked her eyes and squeezed out a few tears: "Then I'll just cry."
Ning Yuanzhou couldn't help laughing this time: "Hahaha, you are so funny..."
So the two people got to know each other inexplicably.
Later, every time Ning Yuanzhou came to the house, he would prepare some extra small gifts for her. Even if he failed to come, there was still no shortage of things that should be sent.
For a long time, if it weren't for the things Ning Yuanzhou gave her, Ning Yujin didn't know if she could survive.
Therefore, Ning Yujin will remember this guy for the rest of her life.
