Chapter XVII. Intent

Everything is because of the two guests that the Ning Mansion is about to welcome, that is, the two brothers of the Li family, Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Li family is Aunt Li's maiden family, and it is a well-known big merchant in Qingzhou, as early as many years ago, the Ning family and the Li family had dealings, and then gradually became friends, which is one of the reasons why the Li family married into the Ning Mansion.

The two brothers of the Li family are the only two children of the eldest master of the Li family, and they are also the nephews of Aunt Li. I heard that they are still preparing for the imperial examination and want to gain fame, if they can really get their wish, then they will have to show off their ancestors to Li Jiaguangzong.

Li Yuanjing is seventeen years old this year, and Li Yuanqian has just passed his sixteenth birthday, and in a few days, they will come to Ningjiafu as guests and stay for a long time. This was arranged by Mrs. Ning, from the beginning the two families are good, they should move around more, it is not convenient for the girls to show their heads, it is better to stay in the boudoir, then let the sons come to be guests, it can also help to pull in the relationship between the Ning and Li families.

In this regard, Aunt Li also gladly accepted it. She even wrote a letter to her brother in person, inviting her two nephews to come over, and the eldest master of the Li family naturally wouldn't brush her face, so he agreed without hesitation.

After all, there are some things that adults don't need to say explicitly, they already know it.

The Li family has two sons who are not young and in their prime, and the Ning family has four young ladies who are decent and ready to be married.

Now, Ning Jinyun already knows her grandmother's intentions, and she understands why her grandmother wants to invite Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian to come to the house, isn't it because she wants to marry her granddaughter!

However, Mrs. Ning is a high-minded and arrogant person, she values her family the most, and she is also proud of the Ning family's century-old foundation and innocent reputation, she will not easily look down on a businessman like the Li family. What Mrs. Ning really likes is just the gold and silver mountains that the Li family has never spent in their lifetimes, and the Li family is indeed very rich, even many times richer than the Ning family in the splendid clouds.

In front of money, Mrs. Ning had to let go of her arrogance a little, but she refused to completely let go of her stubbornness, so after weighing it repeatedly, she planned to marry Ning Jinhua or Ning Jinrao to the Li family, preferably to marry her eldest son Li Yuanjing, so that the Ning family could also get a lot of benefits in the future, and maybe they would be able to make money.

Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao were born to the Li family, just concubines, even if they don't marry the two brothers, they may not be able to marry into a better family, compared to marrying in a place far away from the mountains and rivers, Mrs. Ning still hopes that they can stay in Qingzhou, at least know the roots, and it is more conducive to the continued control of them.

But as for Ning Jinyun, the concubine from the main house, Mrs. Ning has more ideas, she has already made plans, she wants to marry Ning Jinyun to the dignitaries in the capital, or send it to the palace of the local vassal king, anyway, no matter what, this family must be decent, and there will be more returns.

However, Mrs. Ning would not have expected that a few years later, her wishful thinking would not only fail, but also make her good granddaughter be forced to marry a scumbag and have to commit suicide. But of course, these are all later words, and now Ning Jinyun is reborn, and he will definitely not repeat the tragedy of his previous life, so the lives of the women of the Ning family have not yet been determined.

As for Ning Jinyao, she is only more than eleven years old, she is too young to think about marriage for the time being, and Mrs. Ning doesn't have the energy to put too much thought on her.

In short, no matter which granddaughter she wants to marry, Mrs. Ning has only one purpose, which is to make this family affair more beneficial and conducive to the prosperity of the Ning family for generations.

And whether her granddaughters will be happy or not is the least thing she cares about. Sometimes, in the face of interests, the so-called blood relatives are not worth mentioning, and Mrs. Ning treats her descendants as puppets, hoping that they can bring glory and wealth to the family, but she never cares about their true feelings.

This is also why Ning Jinyun is so disappointed in her grandmother, she has long regarded this love for her grandmother as an ethereal cloud, and no longer has any illusions. In this life, she will never give any sincerity to her grandmother who is different from the outside.

Out of Qixiang Courtyard, when she was on the road, Ning Jinyao kept muttering, dancing very happily.

"The day before yesterday, I asked my mother to make me a few new clothes, but my mother just refused, not to say that I had enough clothes, but now it's okay, my grandmother is in charge of buying us new clothes, and I have a new dress to wear, which is really good! Second sister, did you say? ”

Ning Jinyun frowned slightly, just gave a perfunctory "um", and said nothing else. At this time, her mood was at the bottom, her mood was slumped, and she had no intention of paying attention to Ning Jinyao's painless words.

"Grandmother just loves us, and I guess it will cost a lot of money this time." A distressed look flashed on Ning Jinyao's face, but the next moment, she immediately put on a bright smile again, and said with a smile: "But the thought of being able to have a new dress makes me feel happy." ”

She only knew that she could add a few more beautiful clothes, but she didn't know her grandmother's true intentions, in fact, the good grandmother she said was nothing more than wanting their sisters to dress up and show off to seduce the two sons of the Li family. With a little money to buy clothes, to promote a good family affair, this transaction is really not a loss.

What's more, the money for the purchase of clothes is just a drop in the bucket for the Ning family, and it is very small.

Ning Jinyun teased in a low voice, "Okay, okay, then you can go happily, you will know the stinky beauty." Hurry up and wait for you to get married, but you have to take it easy, don't use all the money in the family to buy beautiful clothes. ”

After hearing this, Ning Jinyao raised her little face and raised her pink and round chin, "I don't want to get married, I want to stay at home and go anywhere with my mother." ”

Silly girl, even talking is so childish, how can she be the master of such a thing as marriage. Ning Jinyun shook his head gently, and his eyes dimmed.

After returning to the Red Peony Courtyard, Ning Jinyun went to bed early uncharacteristically, the blue-gray sky was still very bright, and Qingyun didn't have time to make the bed for her, and she hadn't even served dinner yet, but she just lay down, and even the peach-colored gown on her body was still wearing. Her eyes were closed, and her warm breathing was a little rapid, as if trying to force herself to fall asleep quickly.

Ning Jinyun just wants to sleep, as long as she falls into a deep sleep and lasts until dawn, then she can temporarily get rid of the crankiness in her mind and not recall her past with Li Yuanjing.

In her previous life, there were too many emotional entanglements between her and Li Yuanjing......
