40. Back to the banquet

At lunchtime, Shu Heng and the British Duke and others sat outside, Xu Yifan finally caught an opportunity to get drunk with Shu Heng openly, of course he would not let it go, today is a good day for Ning Xi to return to the door, Shu Heng will naturally not refuse, and Ning Hua, a serious brother-in-law, will naturally not let Xu Yifan take the lead, and he will also pour wine for Shu Heng.

Compared to Shu Heng's table, the women's side seemed much quieter.

The Da Qin clan excused himself to be unwell, so he didn't attend at all, and Ning Xi didn't care, chatting lightly with the people in the big room at the table, Xiao Qin's occasionally interjected a few sentences, and Ning Yan and Ning Qiao barely spoke, this situation is not strange, anyway, Ning Yan has seen Ning Xi recently like a mouse seeing a cat, very well-behaved, and Ning Qiao is used to being an invisible person, unless necessary, he generally does not open his mouth lightly.

Several people chatted for a while, but they didn't want Ning Miao to change their words, and said to Xiao Qin: "Third aunt, how can you say that the fourth sister is also the granddaughter of our British government, how can she go out and not even have a maid to serve, although she is a concubine, but we can't miss the things we should have." ”

As soon as Xiao Qin's family heard this, his anger came up, thinking that Ning Qiao had said something in front of Ning Miao, so he glared at Ning Qiao, Ning Qiao hurriedly buried his head, and Xiao Qin's replied: "Why do I sound so uncomfortable about the words of the second niece, I ask myself if I am not a vicious mother-in-law, Ning Qiao's food and clothing are in accordance with the rules, I haven't even been harsh on her for a meal, will she be one less maid?" ”

When Ning Miao heard this, her face showed a little apology: "My niece just saw that the fourth sister didn't even have a maid to serve today, and she had to do it herself even when she served tea and water. ”

After speaking, Ning Miao turned her head and said, "Mother, the people in the front yard should also be sorted out, and if you can't even do such a thing as tea, what qualifications do you have to stay in the house." ”

Xu also heard the meaning of Ning Miao's words, and glanced at Ning Qiao lightly: "It's time for the people in the house to beat it well, what's the use of keeping the maid who even the master can't recognize." ”

Hearing this, Ning Qiao's hand shook, the spoon in his hand slipped, and the crisp sound of falling into the bowl attracted everyone's attention, especially Xiao Qin's family, who didn't like Ning Qiao's soft and weak appearance, plus today because of Ning Miao's words, he was angry with Ning Qiao in his heart, so he glared at Ning Qiao fiercely at the moment, and Ning Qiao couldn't wait to bury his head in the table now.

Xu Shi frowned: "Is Qiao'er uncomfortable?" If you don't feel well, go back to your room to rest. ”

Ning Qiao glanced at Xiao Qin's family, and after getting Xiao Qin's permission, he slowly got up and left.

Ning Xi glanced at the back of Ning Qiao's departure, shook his head, and couldn't live because of his own sin. However, Ning Miao's attitude today is also quite tough, not quite like her way of doing things, which is really strange.

After lunch, Ning Xi and the three of them were about to leave, before leaving, Ning Miao took Ning Xi's hand and said softly: "But I think I am too tough today, and I don't have the slightest tolerance for my sister." ”

Ning Xi shook his head and thought for a moment before replying: "I don't think there is anything wrong with the second sister's behavior today, it's just that it doesn't look like the second sister's style of acting." ”

Ning Miao sighed and knocked Ning Xi's head: "Remember, the more people around you, the more you can't spare when you make mistakes, the enemy can only damage your hair and skin, and the only people who can really hurt your heart and lungs are people you trust." ”

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking about his own experience in the previous life, isn't this the truth?

"Moreover, I didn't expect that the usually soft and weak fourth sister would hide such dirty thoughts, I hope that my beating of her today can make her recognize her identity, and if Liang becomes a big mistake in the future, none of us will help."

After saying that, Ning Miao saw that Ning Xi's face was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but knock Ning Xi's head again, seeing Ning Xi looking at herself aggrievedly, and said with a smile, "What are you doing here, Zhongyi Hou is waiting for you." ”

Ning Xi stuck out his tongue, looked back and saw that Shu Heng was standing in front of the carriage waiting for him, and then walked towards him slowly, before getting into the car, he saw that his second sister was talking to Li Yu with a gentle face, Ning Xi felt more and more that it was a loss for her second sister to marry Li Yu.

On the carriage back to the house, Shu Heng saw that Ning Xi had been burying his head and not speaking, frowned, and asked with some concern, "Did something happen when I returned home today?" ”

Ning Xi was thinking about Ning Qiao, she remembered that in the last life, Ning Qiao married a county king to fill the house, although she was older when she went out of the cabinet, but Ning Qiao earned this family business, but later when she went out to visit, she accidentally heard some ladies vaguely mention that the county king seemed to have been designed to marry Ning Qiao, and the person behind the design was naturally Ning Qiao.

Before, Ning Xi thought that Ning Qiao was just getting older, and she didn't want to be married by Xiao Qin's family at will, so after being reborn, she was also quite careful about Ning Qiao's affairs, but she didn't want this girl to be biased, but she didn't want to be at such an age, so Ning Qiao had the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.

Naturally, it was impossible for these Ning Xi to talk to Shu Heng, so he said, "I'm thinking about where King Xian is worthy of my second sister." ”

Seeing Ning Xi's distressed look, Shu Heng chuckled, Ning Xi saw that he was being ridiculed, and couldn't help but reach out and want to pinch Shu Heng's face, but the carriage suddenly bumped, Ning Xi fell into Shu Heng's arms without paying attention, and when the familiar mint fragrance entered Ning Xi's nose, Ning Xi sat up straight slowly.

Shu Heng was a little dissatisfied that Ning Xi escaped from his embrace so quickly, and seeing her uncomfortable appearance, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "It seems to be a little drunk." Then he naturally leaned his head on Ning Xi's shoulder.

Ning Xi's body stiffened, and he pushed him: "What are you doing, go away." ”

Shu Heng relied on his physical advantage, and he couldn't get up on Ning Xi's shoulder, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm drunk." ”

Ning Xi stared at him with some suspicion: "Wasn't it okay before?" ”

"Presumably intermittent drunkenness."

The corners of Ning Xi's mouth twitched, Shu Heng, are you stupid to me! I'm still spilling intermittently.

Just when Ning Xi was struggling with what posture to use to push Shu Heng away, he suddenly remembered Shu Qing, rolled his eyes, withdrew his hand that was about to move, and poked Shu Heng with his fingertips.

"Eh, Shu Heng, I'll discuss something with you."

Because leaning on Ning Xi's shoulder, Shu Heng was in an extremely comfortable mood, squinting his eyes slightly, and replied lazily: "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't you have a girl named Shu Qing? You give her to me. ”

Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, Shu Qing has been training with Shu Qi since he was a child, although he is not as good as Shu Qi, but he is more than capable of protecting Ning Xi, he has the idea of giving Shu Qing to Ning Xi from the beginning, but because he is afraid that Ning Xi will not be at ease with his talents, he has not spoken, how can Ning Xi take the initiative to speak at this time: "Why do you want her?" ”

Ning Xi thought that Shu Heng was reluctant, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You have put her in the British Mansion for so long, I have feelings, can't I." ”

Hearing this, Shu Heng burst out laughing, how could he not have found out that the little girl was so good at talking nonsense. However, Shu Heng was afraid that Ning Xi would be in a hurry, and in the end, if he really didn't want Shu Qing, it wouldn't be fun.

"I was going to give her to you, and I'm relieved to have her by your side."

As soon as Ning Xi heard this, he sounded the alarm to Shu Heng in advance: "Since you gave her to me, then she is my person, don't want to ask about me from her mouth in the future." ”

Shu Heng sighed in his heart, knowing that Ning Xi was still unhappy because he put Shu Qing in the British Mansion.

"I kept her with you to keep you safe, not to spy on you, where do you want to go."

Ning Xi pursed his lips and said it so nicely. However, Ning Xi left Shu Qing because he took a fancy to Shu Qing's martial arts, at least the next time he encountered the robbery of the carriage, Shu Qing would be able to resist one or two.

Since Shu Heng had already responded to this matter, Ning Xi didn't plan to be Shu Heng's chair, and while Shu Heng was not paying attention, he pushed him away, then moved his butt and sat a little away from Shu Heng.

Shu Heng looked at Ning Xi's proud appearance, and touched the bridge of his nose helplessly, it seems that he must not agree to Ning Xi too quickly in the future. This girl is typical of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Because of Shu Heng, Ning Xi was in a good mood all the way, but this good mood disappeared when he saw Ouyang Ling at the door of Changqing Hall.

Seeing Ning Xi, Ouyang Ling's expression didn't change much, but when she saw Shu Heng, her eyes instantly lit up: "Cousin, you're back." ”

Seeing that the faces of the people around him turned cold, Shu Heng was also quite unhappy, so when he looked at Ouyang Ling, his eyes became more impatient, and he scolded: "Didn't you see that your cousin-in-law was also there?" ”

The smile on Ouyang Ling's face froze, and she called Ning Xi unwillingly.

Ning Xi looked at Ouyang Ling's appearance, and was surprised, was this Ouyang Ling overstimulated by herself last time, and now she doesn't even pretend to be a white lotus.

Ouyang Ling looked at Shu Heng again, with anticipation in her eyes: "Cousin, I have something to tell you, can you go to my yard." ”

Shu Heng twisted his eyebrows: "If there's something to say, just say it here, can't your cousin-in-law listen to your words." ”

Ouyang Ling's face was a little embarrassed: "Ling'er's words are a matter of importance, and outsiders listen to it, which is inappropriate." ”

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, this means that she is an outsider, originally she was not in the mood to deal with Ouyang Ling today, but since Ouyang Ling said so, it would be too easy for her to bully if she didn't fight back.

Thinking like this, Ning Xi walked to Shu Heng's side and gently held Shu Heng's hand, Ning Xi's sudden affection made Shu Heng a little surprised in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at her, but saw Ning Xi looking at himself gently, but his eyes were full of warnings, you dare to dismantle my platform to try, Shu Heng actually enjoyed Ning Xi's closeness, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

"Husband, since Miss Cousin said that we outsiders can't listen to this, then let's go back to the room first."

Shu Heng nodded, and was about to step into the courtyard with Ning Xi. Seeing this, Ouyang Ling hurriedly shouted, "Cousin! ”

Shu Heng looked back at Ouyang Ling's reddened eyes, and there was a faint irritability in his eyes: "Since you treat your cousin-in-law as an outsider, my cousin is naturally also an outsider, so you don't have to mention it to me in the future." ”

After speaking, he pulled Ning Xi into the courtyard.

Ning Xi was very satisfied with Shu Heng's attitude towards Ouyang Ling, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't stop it. When Shu Heng saw it, his heart was also very warm, and he was even more sure that he would stay away from Ouyang Ling and be happy.

None of them saw Ouyang Ling behind them, their eyes were full of jealousy.
