20. Yu's calculations
When Ning Xi and Ning Miao arrived at the main courtyard, they didn't know what they were talking about in the house, and there was a burst of laughter, Ning Xi raised his eyebrows and stepped into the house.
A noble lady sitting at the head of the Great Qin Clan, dressed in a red peony patterned dress, saw Ning Xi and threw a meaningful look at her, which made Ning Xi couldn't help but look away.
"Xi'er, Miao'er, come on, this is your cousin."
Hearing this, the two stepped forward to salute the woman, Yu Shi accepted their salute with a smile, and then took out two golden hairpins and handed them to the two, during which his eyes looked Fan Ningxi up and down without scruples.
Ning Xi didn't have a good impression of him because of Yu's scrutiny, and now seeing that the meeting gift he gave was so heavy, he inevitably muttered in his heart.
And the Yu family had already retracted his gaze and smiled at the Da Qin family: "The two granddaughters of my aunt's family are all good, especially this Miss Ning San, I feel that she is a blessed person when I look at it." ”
Da Qin's family also smiled slightly: "It's good if you like it." ”
Ning Xi stood aside and looked at his nose and mouth, and frowned when he heard this, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing.
After a while, Yu said goodbye and left, Ning Xi also returned to the courtyard, and Ning Miao followed Xu to Xu's courtyard.
"What's the matter, why do I think that cousin is weird, today my grandmother seems to be too enthusiastic about the third sister."
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Xu's mouth, then he looked at Ning Miao, and said: "Miao'er, you must remember that no matter how high your status is in the future, you must recognize your position, and you must not be confused because of a moment of pride, and be provoked to meddle in things that should not be interfered with." ”
Ning Miao nodded, and then suddenly reacted: "Grandmother, is she going to do something foolish again?" Is it still related to the third sister? ”
Xu patted Ning Miao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with your grandfather here, she can't do it." ”
Sure enough, just as Xu expected, that night, after the Great Qin clan mentioned what the Yu family said during the day to his grandfather, he was reprimanded by the British public, telling her not to meddle in her affairs and to have less dealings with people in the Lin'an Mansion.
Da Qin's felt a little aggrieved, she was the master of this British mansion, how could it be nosy to care about the marriage of the juniors, but she only dared to mumble two words in her heart, so she sent someone to return the letter to Yu's family, not wanting to visit Yu again a few days later.
Knowing why the Yu clan came here, before she could speak, the Da Qin clan said: "This matter is not something I can say, and your uncle can't agree with me, so forget it." ”
Yu Shi was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "If you want me to say, it is best for this child to see the right eye for this child's marriage, if you let the third lady and my nephew meet, maybe you will see the right eye, and even if you don't see it, it is not a big deal if everyone is a relative to see each other." ”
"This." Da Qin's face hesitated, remembering the roar of the British Duke last night, she was still a little afraid.
Seeing this, Yu's words changed sharply, and he continued to persuade: "Actually, aunt, it is also of great benefit to you that this Pingle County Lord marries my nephew. ”
The Great Qin Clan looked at the Yu clan suspiciously, obviously attracted by the Yu clan's words.
Yu Shi made persistent efforts and said: "Do you think, isn't this Pingle County Lord marrying my nephew a relative of our Lin'anhou Mansion, will she dare not help you, the aunt of Lin'anhou Mansion, when the time comes?" If you ask her to do something, does she dare to push back, no matter how high her status is, she is afraid of offending her husband's family. ”
The Great Qin clan was a little shaken, it sounded really good, and she also understood that Ning Xi was not willing to bring Ning Yan at all, and asked Ning Xi to take Ning Yan into the palace by the way, but she refused, if Ning Xi married Yu's nephew, then Ning Xi's husband's family and Lin'anbo Mansion would be closely linked to her own interests, and it would be seen if she dared to refuse her request when the time came.
The Great Qin Clan, who thought that he had figured out the connection, became positive: "Then how can we let them meet?" ”
The corners of Yu's mouth rose: "That's simple, in a few days"
Soon Yu Shi came out of the main courtyard, and the grandmother who followed her asked a little uneasily, "Do you really want to do this?" If it is discovered, what should it be to blame it? ”
Hearing this, Yu's face became gloomy: "Do you think I want to take this risky move, these years, I have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for my uncle, I can only watch one by one concubines pop up, my mother's eldest brother is not angry, can not support the door, watching my mother's family decay day by day, how can I bear it, if my mother's family falls, how can I gain a foothold in Lin'anbo Mansion, the uncle for the position of the son, bent on a son-in-law, has long been born to abandon my thoughts, if I don't plan early, one day I will become a cousin." ”
Yu's maiden family is Yongningbofu, Yongningbo's title is the last generation to her brother, her nephew and her brother are all out of tune, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal, just when she was anxious for the future of her mother's family, at the birthday banquet of the British Duke, she suddenly saw the legendary Pingle County Lord, thinking that her aunt in the British Mansion was a big stupid person, so she unknowingly hit the idea on Ning Xi's head, and when Ning Xi was fourteen years old, the time was ripe, so she did not hesitate to come to the door to say goodbye, Regardless of whether the British public agrees or not, this matter must be successful, even if some unsightly means are used, thinking of this, Yu's eyes became gloomy.
After he left, a thin, ordinary-looking maid walked out of the shade of a tree beside him, carrying a birdcage with a gray pigeon in the cage. This maid is a little beggar that the housekeeper picked up in the alley outside the British Mansion two days ago, because her age is similar to the housekeeper's granddaughter, the housekeeper is a little unbearable, and after checking that the girl's identity is not suspicious, he took her back to the British Mansion and let her be responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the front yard.
"Little Ash, sure enough, just like Brother Qi said, the women in these big mansions are all with bad stomachs." The little girl patted the cage with a smile, opened the cage, and the pigeon, named Little Gray, fluttered twice and flew into the sky.
The little girl looked up and squinted at the pigeon flying away, and then left satisfied.
A few days later, on Mrs. Amber's birthday, the Great Qin clan brought the female dependents of the British Mansion to pay their respects.
After talking to Mrs. Lin Anbo for a while, the Great Qin clan proposed to go to the maple leaf forest behind, saying that he liked to go there very much when he was in the boudoir before, and refused to be accompanied by the Xu family, but let his four granddaughters accompany him.
Ning Xi only called his four granddaughters when the Great Qin Clan was not good in front of outsiders and was too partial to Ning Yan.
But before she arrived at the maple leaf forest, the Da Qin clan broke her foot, and looked at the Da Qin clan who was sitting on the stone, frowning, Ning Xi was speechless, seeing that her energy was so good when she was angry before, she didn't expect to be able to break her foot in a few steps.
Sighing, Ning Xi said, "My second sister and I went to find someone to help, and my grandmother's foot injury can't be delayed." ”
Hearing this, the Da Qin clan hurriedly said: "Passing through the maple leaf forest in front is the courtyard where I used to live, just in case, Xi'er, you go over there to find someone to help, as for Miao'er, go to Mrs. Lin'anbo's side to find someone to come over." ”
Ning Xi frowned, was it really appropriate to let her an outsider wander around the backyard of Lin'anbo Mansion?
Ning Miao thought of the previous incident of Yu's visit, and was also a little worried about Ning Xi, and said: "It's better to let the fifth sister accompany the third sister, lest the third sister get lost and delay the hour." ”
Hearing this, the Great Qin clan glared at Ning Miao: "Lin'an Bo Mansion is so big, it's so easy to get lost, don't you go quickly, don't you take my grandmother in your eyes?" ”
Ning Miao bit her lower lip, still a little uneasy, Ning Xi looked at Ning Miao, shook her head slightly, and walked towards the maple leaf forest.
Ning Miao couldn't do it, so she had to walk back quickly.
Ning Xi also felt that the attitude of the Great Qin Clan was not quite right, but she couldn't figure out what the Great Qin Clan could calculate herself, and she came out with the Great Qin Clan, if something happened to her, this is the maiden family of the Great Qin Clan, and the Great Qin Clan can't get rid of it, and the Great Qin Clan should not be stupid enough to calculate himself in the Lin'an Mansion, so Ning Xi felt a little relieved.
However, Ning Xi didn't expect that the Great Qin Clan could really be so stupid, so sometimes the IQ was not at the same level, which was really painful.
Just when Ning Xi was about to walk into the maple leaf forest, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pulled Ning Xi into the rockery next to him, and before Ning Xi could shout, he was covered by the man's generous palm.
"Shut up, stupid woman." A slightly angry man's voice came from behind Ning Xi.
Hearing the man's voice, Ning Xi's originally suspended heart relaxed, and then slowly raised his right foot and kicked the calf of the man behind him fiercely.
The man behind him let out a muffled snort, his hand loosened a little, and he looked at the woman who turned around while he let go of his hand, and she actually kicked him!
"I didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhongyi had a preference for captivating the women of the Liang family." Ning Xi made no secret of his sarcasm.
Shu Heng's forehead jumped, thinking that if he hadn't appeared, now Ning Xi had walked into the maple leaf forest unsuspectingly, and there was a fire in his heart, and his words unconsciously carried some sarcasm: "If I hadn't kidnapped you, a woman from a good family, I'm afraid you would be able to marry in a few days." ”
Ning Xi frowned, looked at Shu Heng with some suspicion, and thought about the meaning of his words. Before I could sort out the situation, I heard the sound of conversation outside. Ning Xi glanced out, and saw Yu Shi walking over with a few noble ladies, and said as he walked: "Although the maple leaf forest in my house is a little smaller, the maple leaves are as red and beautiful as the sunset, I hope you ladies don't dislike it." ”
Seeing them enter the maple leaf forest, Ning Xi's eyes were a little more thoughtful, would it be too coincidental for the Yu family to come over at this time.
Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, with a seemingly absent smile on his lips: "Now I believe it." ”
Seeing Ning Xi's annoyed look, Shu Heng's tone couldn't help but soothe a little: "Do you want to go to the theater?" ”
"What did you do?"
A gloomy smile appeared at the corner of Shu Heng's mouth: "Just go and see." With that, he walked towards the maple forest.
Thinking of Shu Heng's smile just now, Ning Xi felt a chill down his spine, rubbed his arm, and followed.
"It's not appropriate for you to come here as a foreign man."
"It's okay, just stay away."
"Oh." Anyway, it wasn't her who was found embarrassed, so Ning Xi didn't bother to care about Shu Heng.
