9. Ning Yu got married
As soon as the year turned, it was soon the Lantern Festival, the East Street in Beijing would hold a grand Lantern Festival every year, Ning Xi rarely went out in the previous life, and she had never been to this kind of lantern festival, now, although she wanted to play, but she didn't want to bother Xu's, so she didn't open her mouth to ask, but the British public said that Ning Yu was about to get married, and she rarely had the opportunity to stay with their sisters in the future, and they were allowed to go out to play this time. Therefore, this time, all the young ladies and young masters of the British Mansion left the mansion together, because Ning Yao was still young, so he was left in the mansion by the Xu family.
Generally, when the children of the family come out to visit the Lantern Festival, they will book a box at the inn first, sit on the second floor and watch, the street is too crowded, and the ladies are not easy to show up, and the Ning family is no exception.
Ning Xi sat on the tall building, watching the people coming and going downstairs, the lights were bright, so lively, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and even Ning Miao, who had always been steady, had excitement in his eyes. Ning Hua came up from downstairs, holding a few lanterns in his hands, and handed them to his younger sisters. A few girls were also happy, and even Ning Yan didn't make a noise.
"I ran into Yifan when I came up just now, they are next door to us, girl, do you want to go over and say hello?" Ning Hua suddenly spoke.
Yi Fan in Ning Hua's mouth is the son of An Guo Gong and Ning Wei's fiancΓ©.
Ning Yu frowned: "This is not in accordance with the rules." β
Ning Hua sneered, in fact, Ning Hua was also good for Ning Wei, thinking that they were about to get married, they would meet first, have a bottom for each other, maybe they could cultivate their feelings, which was also good for their married life, and they didn't want their sister who had always been reckless to prevaricate him with rules.
"But Yifan said that the Duchess of Anguo is also there, you are a junior, you should go over and ask for peace."
Ning Yu pursed her lips, to be honest, she doesn't know what her attitude towards Xu Yifan is now, if you want to talk about feelings, there is, after all, she was a playmate when she was a child, but if you want to say how deep this relationship is, it can't be said, but when she thinks that she has not married before, he has a room, and she is still very annoyed in her heart.
Ning Yu didn't reply, but Ning Miao on the side suddenly said: "Since Duchess An Guo is here, then our juniors should go over to see each other." β
Ning Xi heard Ning Miao's words and took her eyes back from the window, she didn't think that Ning Miao really wanted to go over to ask Duchess An Guo for peace, it seemed that Ning Miao was very interested in that Xu Yifan, or that the incident two days ago really annoyed her.
"Big brother, I want to go down and have a look, is that okay?"
Ning Hua frowned, looked at Ning Yan, knowing that Ning Yan was unwilling to see Mrs. Anguo Mansion, so he deliberately made an excuse, thinking that he was not from the big house, so he said to Ning Qin: "You accompany the fourth sister and take care of her." β
Ning Yan smiled at this time, in her eyes, Mrs. Anguo Mansion was Ning Yan's future mother-in-law, what did she have to do with her, why did she have to go over to see her. Ning Qiao originally planned to follow Ning Hua and the others over, but was stopped by Ning Yan, and was glared at by Ning Yan: "Why are you following them, go downstairs with me." β
When Ning Xi followed Ning Yu and the others into the private room next door, she happened to see Xu Yifan sitting under the lamp talking to a sweet-looking woman, Ning Xi's heart suddenly tightened, this situation actually reminded her of Shu Heng and Ouyang Ling in her previous life. Ning Xi lowered his eyes and hid the love in his eyes.
Duchess An Guo was not surprised to see Ning Xi and the others, Xu had already heard from Xu Yifan that they were next door.
"Since you're out to play, why bother with so much courtesy, sit down quickly." After the four of them saluted, Duchess An Guo said with a smile.
After all, Ning Hua is a foreign man, it is not convenient to stay, so he found an excuse to leave, Xu Yifan also walked out with Ning Hua, and seemed to look at Ning Yu before leaving, and Ning Xi and the three sat down around the round table according to the words, as if they didn't see the woman, they didn't ask, but the woman walked over and showed a sweet smile to the four of them.
"A few of them are Miss Ning, Zhuoya is here to salute a few sisters."
Ning Miao didn't want to talk very much, thinking that when she just came in, she also saw the scene of this woman and Xu Yifan, and she felt a little uncomfortable, Ning Miao took over when she saw this: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't recognize this young lady, I don't know which daughter it is?" As he spoke, he looked at Duchess Anguo, since she came out with her, she must be a relative of her family.
Duchess Anguo glanced at Zhuo Ya and said with a smile: "This is Yifan's cousin, she used to live in the south of the Yangtze River, and she didn't know much about the customs and customs of the capital. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Xi's mouth, was this explaining why Zhuo Ya was with Xu Yifan? It seems that Ning Yan, the future mother-in-law, values Ning Wei very much.
"It was the cousin of the Zhuo family, Miss Cousin must come to our British Mansion to play if she is free in the future, our sisters are always in one place and are very tired, and with Miss Zhuo joining in the future, I think it can be a little more innovative." Ning Miao smiled and spoke.
"Thanks to the sisters who don't give up, Zhuoya will definitely come to the door to disturb when she is free, and when the time comes, several sisters will be disgusted Zhuoya."
Then there was another greeting, and seeing that the time was about the same, the three of them left. As soon as I came out of the private room, I met Xu Yifan who came upstairs. Ning Yu couldn't help but look behind Xu Yifan, and said with some doubts: "What about my eldest brother?" β
Xu Yifan raised his eyebrows: "Miss Ning wants to find your eldest brother, call a maid to find it, and ask me what I do." β
Xu Yifan's tone instantly ignited Ning Yan's anger, Ning Wei glared at Xu Yifan angrily, and wanted to step forward and bite him a few times.
Seeing that Ning Miao wanted to stop Ning Miao, Ning Xi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ning Miao and pulled her into the room.
"Third sister, what are you doing, why did you pull me in, look at the appearance of the eldest sister, if you provoke the future husband before marriage, can you still have a good life after marrying?"
Ning Xi was not in a hurry to explain, but slowly picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Ning Miao.
"Second sister, you just worry too much, some things can't just look at the surface, you are now, just look at the lantern festival with peace of mind, I promise, the eldest sister will not annoy the prince of Anguo."
Although Ning Miao didn't believe Ning Xi's words, she finally stayed in the room.
Ning Xi also poured herself a cup of tea, tasted it carefully, and saw Ning Miao, who was a little irritable on the side, and smiled in her heart, Ning Miao was a woman in the boudoir who had never experienced anything between men and women after all, where could she see that there seemed to be affection between Ning Yu and Xu Yifan, but now the two of them were holding their breath because of the previous intercourse, and it was inevitable that there would be some gunpowder smell when they met.
Thinking of this, Ning Xi couldn't help laughing at herself, she could see others clearly, but she couldn't figure it out when it came to herself, if she could see it, she wouldn't end up depressed in her previous life, this matter of men and women, in fact, she herself may not have figured it out.
That day, when Ning Yu returned to the inn, although she tried her best to hide her feelings, Ning Xi still felt that her mood was much better, and when she looked closely, there was still a faint flush on her face, and the corners of Ning Xi's mouth were slightly upturned, it seemed that she had made the right decision this time.
It was Ning Hua, who came back later than Ning Yu, and didn't say where he went, only said that he walked around at will, Ning Xi frowned quietly, but he didn't say anything.
Soon it was the day of Ning Yan's marriage, Ning Xi sent a set of sapphire heads, and a pair of white jade bracelets, originally Ning Wei also wanted to send some silver taels, but suddenly reacted, she was married to a sister not a daughter, and the silver money was prepared by her aunt, but she, a person who has lived hard, saw Ning Yu marrying as if she was marrying a daughter.
When Ning Yu was carried out of the mansion by Ning Hua, Ning Xi stood in the distance and watched silently, her eyes gradually became blurred, she seemed to see herself back then, at that time she was also carried out of the eldest princess's mansion by Ning Hua in this way, at that time she had no relationship with the children of the Ning family, but at the moment when she sat in the sedan chair, Ning Hua still said: "Don't wronged yourself." β
Ten miles of red makeup that day, she was dressed in a fiery wedding dress, with full joy and expectation to marry into the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, she thought that fate still favored her, there can be a few women in the world who can marry their favorite people like her, but they don't want this to be just the beginning of a nightmare.
Ning Xi wiped the corners of her eyes, but the tears couldn't stop falling, fortunately, Ning Yu got married today, and others wouldn't think much about crying, but she would only think that she was reluctant to be a sister.
This scene fell into the eyes of Shu Heng in the distance, Shu Heng clenched his hands suddenly, turned around and closed his eyes, no matter how many times he did it again, he still didn't dare to face the tearful face, he only felt that his heart hurt badly, and he staggered away from here.
On the third day after Ning Yu's marriage, the people of the British Mansion were busy very early, and today was a good day for the eldest lady to return to Ning, so she didn't dare to be sloppy. Ning Xi also packed himself up early in the morning and waited in the lobby with Xu Shi and the others.
After a while, Ning Yu and Xu Yifan appeared in the field of vision, the two walked side by side, today's Ning Yu wore a plum red embroidered Luo skirt, with a set of ruby heads on her head, and the whole person was beaming.
Soon the two entered the house, and after greeting everyone, Xu Yifan was called to the study by his grandfather and uncle, leaving a group of female dependents.
The Great Qin clan symbolically said a few words and left on the grounds that he was in good health, and at the same time, the people in the third room also followed.
Ning Xi also went back to the courtyard first, thinking that Xu must have a lot of things to say to Ning Yu.
Soon after Ning Xi returned to the courtyard, she heard the voice of Ning Yu looking for her, and hurriedly welcomed Ning Yu and Ning Miao into the house. After sending the maids out, Ning Xi laughed and said: "Originally, I was worried that the eldest sister would not have a good time in the Anguo Mansion, but today I saw the appearance of the eldest sister with peach blossoms on her face, and she was a little more tender than before she got married, and it was still good to treat the eldest sister in the next life." β
Ning Yu glanced at Ning Xi: "You are a narrow ghost, don't forget to tease me today, and when you get married, see if I don't ask for it back with interest." β
"The eldest sister has to wait, the second sister hasn't allowed anyone yet, I'm still early." Then he changed the subject: "What is the situation with Zoya?" β
Ning Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a light smile: "What else can it be?" Cousin. Her mother is the concubine of the Anguo Mansion, and she grew up at the feet of the old lady since she was a child, and the old lady also has some affection for her mother, and she returned to the Anguo Mansion from Jiangnan after the widowhood. β
"Then you'll have to have more eyes." Ning Xi reminded that it was not that she had any opinions about Zhuo Ya, but that the experience in her previous life made her really afraid of this kind of woman who lived in her husband's house, who could guarantee that Zhuo Ya was not another Ouyang Ling.
Ning Yu smiled and thanked her for her kindness, Zhuo Ya, she really didn't take it to heart, if Xu Yifan insisted on taking a concubine, could she still tie him up? But as long as this man doesn't have this mind, it is useless for more women to rush forward, so what she has to think about now is how to simply and rudely cut off Xu Yifan's concubine's mind.
