2. The return of the county lord
The gate of the eldest princess's mansion slowly opened, and a beautiful carriage slowly drove out, and the gate that had not been opened since the death of the eldest princess suddenly opened, which attracted the attention of the passers-by.
The carriage drove slowly on the bustling street, and the people inside quietly lifted the small curtain next to the carriage and looked at the qiฤ outside the carriage.
Under Erui's reminder, Ning Xi reluctantly lowered the car curtain, it has been more than half a month since she woke up, until now she can't believe that she is really back to thirteen years old, back to fifteen years ago, but the scenes in front of her are reminding her that this qiฤ is real, God really gave her a chance to start over, it seems that God still pities her, give her a chance to make up for the mistakes she did in her previous life.
In the last life, she didn't attend her grandfather's birthday banquet, and she couldn't miss anything in this life, and she had another purpose, but she hadn't been back for many years, and she was still apprehensive in her heart.
The eldest princess's mansion was not far from the British Mansion, and soon Ning Xi arrived at the British Mansion, Ning Xi subconsciously looked up at the plaque hanging at the door after getting out of the car, and there was a feeling that he had not set foot in this place for more than ten years.
In her previous life, although she was the granddaughter of the British Mansion, but because of her mother's identity as the eldest princess, she rarely set foot in the British Mansion, and later her father died on the battlefield, and her mother couldn't stand the blow, and soon she went, leaving her alone, originally the British Duke was going to take her back to live, but because she didn't like her step-grandmother very much, she didn't promise the British Princess's mentions, that year, she was only eight years old, so before marrying into the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, she lived alone in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the British Princess's wife occasionally came to see her, But she has always been frail and rarely goes out, and she is not good at socializing with people, so she somehow ended up with a reputation for being withdrawn and arrogant.
Thinking about it now, it was precisely because of his temperament at that time that Ouyang Ling had a chance.
Seeing the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion, the British princess and Mrs. Xu were a little surprised, her niece had just asked someone to send a gift in the past few years, and had never come to the birthday banquet in person.
"Xi'er, come and let the eldest aunt take a look, but I haven't seen it for a few days, but it's a lot more beautiful."
Xu's words were not half alienated, but they reassured Ning Xi a lot, she was really afraid that the relatives of the British Mansion would treat her as a guest.
"Auntie, Ning Xi has not been filial to visit for a long time, and my grandfather's body is healthy?" Shizi is the eldest brother of Ning Xi's father, so in front of them, Ning Xi is unwilling to regard himself as the county lord.
"Yo, who am I talking about, isn't this our Pingle County Lord, I haven't stepped into the British Mansion for so many years, how do I know that I'm back today."
A sharp voice came from behind Xu's back, Ning Xi lowered her eyes slightly, this voice was familiar to her, who else could there be besides the third lady in the British Mansion who was competitive and wanted to be top-notch in everything.
Because of Xiao Qin's words, everyone put their eyes on Ning Xi, and some bold ladies were already whispering. A little displeasure flashed in Xu's eyes, Xiao Qin's style became more and more bold because she was the niece of the old lady, and she usually loved to do it against herself, but today she gave her own grandson Miss no face at the gate of the mansion, she didn't know if she was also losing the face of the British Mansion.
"Xi'er has always been frail and recuperates in the mansion all the year round, so she rarely comes back to the mansion, but every year the eldest princess's mansion will send a lot of things, isn't that Xi'er's filial piety? By the way, the bird's nest used by the third brother and sister this morning was sent by the steward of the shop in the eldest princess's mansion, and the third brother and sister don't laugh with Xi'er, she has always been thin-skinned. โ
Hearing this, Xiao Qin's face changed slightly, and he reluctantly laughed a few times, saying that he was joking with Ning Xi, and then left to entertain other guests, Ning Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth, she now knew that her eldest aunt was so eloquent.
Xu patted Ning Xi's hand and signaled her not to care, Ning Xi glanced at her gratefully and shook her head. Seeing that Ning Xi really didn't seem to take this matter to heart, he summoned the grandmother beside him and said, "This is Mama Yu, I can't leave now, so I asked her to accompany you to find your two sisters, and they will take you to see your grandfather." โ
Ning Xi nodded and followed Mama Yu into the British Mansion.
Ning Xi's impression of the British Mansion was a little vague, and he walked a little slowly along the way, wanting to imprint the scenery of the British Mansion firmly in his mind.
Mama Yu thought that Ning Xi was the future British Mansion for many years, and she was a little nervous, so she was relieved: "Third Miss don't worry, the eldest lady and the second miss are good, although you haven't seen each other for many years, but after all, you are sisters who are related by blood, and you will get acquainted when you meet." โ
Ning Xi smiled and nodded, but she was not worried in her heart, although she did not set foot in the British Mansion in her previous life, but after marrying into the Hou Mansion, she had an intersection with two cousins who were also adult wives, although they were not intimate, but she still knew their temperament to some extent.
Soon, Mama Yu took Ning Xi into the backyard, and saw Ning Yu in a goose-yellow pleated skirt and Ning Miao in a crescent-colored lily skirt entertaining the ladies in the water pavilion.
Ning Yu and Ning Miao are both from the Xu family, the British prince only married one of the Xu family, there is no concubine around, only two have a room, but none of them come out, in addition to Ning Yu and the two, the Xu family also gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Ning Hua is nineteen, and has already set the daughter of the Yang Shilang family, and the second son Ning Yao is a few years younger than Ning Xi.
Ning Xi stepped into the water pavilion, the original noisy atmosphere quieted down a little, everyone quietly looked at her, secretly guessing which lady this was, Ning Xi didn't feel uncomfortable, she never participated in this kind of banquet, it was reasonable for these young ladies to be curious about her, Ning Miaoben was also a little confused, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she glanced at Mama Yu next to Ning Xi again, and when she saw that she nodded to herself, she was more sure of what she was thinking, bypassed everyone, walked in front of Ning Xi, took Ning Xi's hand and said: "The third sister is โกโก brighter, My sister was so clumsy that she almost didn't recognize it. โ
"Second sister, don't laugh at my sister, which of the young ladies here is not a flower and a moon, my sister said this, but it can be tormented by my sister."
Hearing Ning Miao's call, everyone reacted, it turned out that this was the county lord of Pingle who rarely went out, and now it didn't seem to match the rumors at first sight, it looked quite amiable, seeing that the Ning sisters had already chatted, they all retracted their eyes and continued the previous topic.
Seeing that everyone put away their gazes, Ning Miao breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know this cousin yet, and she was really afraid that the eyes of those young ladies would annoy her.
"My sister has come back to see my grandfather?"
Ning Xi shook his head: "It's not too late yet." โ
"Then let's go together." After speaking, he said goodbye to the young ladies and walked out with Ning Yu.
Ning Xi walked next to Ning Miao, seeing Ning Miao's reluctant look, she couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth, the eldest sister is straightforward, if she likes it, if she likes it, if she hates it, she will never pretend to be with others, it seems that she has not returned to the house all these years, but she has angered her, if it was before, Ning Xi may not know what to do, but now she has the memory of her past life, which is enough to deal with the current situation.
Ning Xi stopped suddenly, Ning Miao and the two also stopped, looking at Ning Xi in puzzlement, but Ning Xi reached out and pulled Ning Yan's sleeve, lowered her head, pinched her throat, and said glutinously: "The eldest sister is angry with her sister, and her sister has not returned for a few years, it is indeed my sister's fault, my sister knows that she is wrong, and the eldest sister should not be angry with my sister." โ
Ning Yu snorted coldly: "You are the high-ranking county lord's mother, who dares to be angry with you." โ
Ning Xi's head was buried lower: "The third aunt of Shicai has already trained me at the door." โ
Ning Wei's eyebrows raised, and her voice raised a few points: "She scolded you at the door?" You just shouldn't and shouldn't be taught by her, a person with three rooms, do you say that your status as a county lord is a decoration? In the end, he poked Ning Xi's forehead with hatred.
Ning Xi showed a sly smile, his father Ning Zhiyi and uncle Ning Zhiyuan were both born to the deceased British duchess, and the third uncle Ning Zhiyuan was born to the current British duchess.
Ning Xi raised it so that Ning Yu could clearly see the smile on her lips: "I didn't reply, but the eldest aunt has already reprimanded the third aunt." โ
Ning Miao on the side snorted and laughed, knowing that she was Ning Xi who played it, Ning Miao's eyes widened, she turned around and walked forward, Ning Xi followed behind when she saw this, and said as she walked: "Big sister, don't be angry, Ning Xi knows it's wrong." โ
Ning Yu stopped suddenly, and Ning Xi also hurriedly stopped, trying to pose as a little white flower when Ning Yu's eyes looked over.
"Enough, don't pretend to be aggrieved anymore."
"Then the big sister has forgiven her sister?"
"This." Suddenly, Ning Yu felt a little unwilling, how could she forgive this 'little white-eyed wolf' so lightly? But it is quite pitiful for her to live alone in the eldest princess's mansion all these years.
Ning Miao, who knew Ning Yu quite well, saw that her sister was entangled again, so she stepped forward and said, "Since the third sister has apologized, big sister, you should let her go in large quantities." โ
Ning Yu glanced at it and muttered, "Then I'll forgive her for the time being this time." โ
After speaking, Ning Xi swept away the previous aggrieved look, and responded clearly, and he was inevitably scolded by Ning Yu for being ghostly.
