The Ning family is a scholarly family, living in Qingzhou for generations, and there have been many officials above the third grade in their ancestors. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In its heyday, the Ning family once had a hussar general, a Ronglu doctor, and two senior doctors at the same time, which can be described as a great honor, and Ning Jinyun's great-grandfather was also the imperial history of the Ministry of Rites and was awarded the rank of good doctor.

However, when it came to the generation of the old lady of the Ning family, the Ning family began to go downhill, no longer the nobility of the past, the men in the family gradually became rare, and the outstanding ones were even rarer, Ning Jinyun's grandfather died of illness before the age of forty, and he only became a seven-grade sesame petty official, and failed to realize his lofty ambitions.

Among the three sons he left behind, only the youngest Ning Sanye became a five-grade civil official in the court, barely fighting for his breath, while the other two were ambitious but inactive, and lived all day long as the lord of a rich family.

Ning Shiyuan, the eldest master of Ning, that is, Ning Jinyun's father, is now messing around with the second master Ning in the capital, they have been away from home for nearly two months, saying that they want to go out to meet the world and make friends, and they can't stay in this narrow Qingzhou territory all day long, and they have no interest!

But the hearts of the family are like mirrors, knowing that even if the two of them go out, they won't have any ability, just see through it and don't say anything, let the two of them go out to make trouble, as long as they don't make trouble.

Fortunately, the Ning family has a deep foundation, and there is no problem in holding on for another 180 years, so it is still regarded as Zhong Mingding's food home, and it is a famous family that ordinary people can't even enter the threshold. It is precisely because of this that Ning Jinyun can still live in the deep mansion of this white-walled Zhu family's compound and live a rich life surrounded by green beads.

She can be regarded as thinking about it, and it is much better to be reborn into the Ning family without worrying about food and clothing than to be reincarnated as a poor girl with four walls, as long as she can grow a little bit in this life, and don't repeat the mistakes of her previous life, she can still be the second lady of the Ning family as she wishes.

After leaving Old Lady Ning's Qixiang Courtyard, Ning Jinyun didn't say a word, but there was a shallow smile on his face.

Qingyun on the side opened her mouth first, and she sighed proudly, "Miss, you didn't look carefully, after being reprimanded by the old lady, Aunt Li's face was even darker than the bottom of the pot, it seems that this time, the third lady has to be beaten." ”

Ning Jinyun replied in a low voice, "Whoever makes her unscrupulous and beaten is nothing to be wronged about." ”

Qingyun couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and said a few more words, "According to the slave maid, these three young ladies deserve it, who makes her unreasonable and ignorant of the rules, and dares to talk back to the old lady, there is really no lady who looks like a lady, if anyone marries her in the future, it will be really unlucky, but with her virtue, it is estimated that she will not be able to marry any good family." ”

In the past, Ning Jinrao often bullied Ning Jinyun, very arrogant, Qingyun has been dissatisfied with her for a long time, and she has long held back her resentment, but this time, watching Ning Jinrao being trained in front of the old lady undoubtedly made Qingyun breathe a bad breath, and her heart was very happy.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Jinyun's sudden voice stopped Qing Yun, a cloud of sadness floated between her eyebrows, and she said unhappily, "How can you talk nonsense about her marriage?" Haven't you heard the word "wall" has ears? What tongue base to chew outside? What if it was heard and spread. ”

Qing Yun was immediately silenced, and then realized that what she had just said was indeed inappropriate. Where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and sometimes a word may provoke serious incidents, and it is okay to go back and say two sentences about these words of chewing the root of the tongue, but if you go out of the Red Peony Courtyard, it is not appropriate to talk nonsense.

Her face flushed with shame, and she whispered, "Miss, don't be angry, the slave knows it's wrong." ”

Ning Jinyun glanced at her, and couldn't help sighing, and her voice was unconsciously gentle, "I don't mean to blame you, but you need to know that you must be cautious in your words and deeds at all times, as the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, what if your words are heard by someone with a heart and used to make a big fuss, you and I will inevitably suffer at that time." ”

Qingyun has always been cautious, this time it was just an unintentional mistake, although Ning Jinyun understood it in his heart, he was still relieved and gave two more instructions.

She lowered her voice, "Grandmother values our family affairs very much, and I wish we all married decently, so as to add glory to the Ning family, so even if Ning Jinrao is not worthy of marrying into a good family, you are not allowed to talk about it outside." If you have something to say, go back to our own yard and say it. ”

Qingyun understood the stakes, she nodded, her face was ashamed, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

"It's good to know, and you'll have to remember it later." Ning Jinyun brushed Qingyun's shoulder and said softly, "Okay, I'm also a little tired, let's go back quickly." ”

The spring breeze was blowing gently, and the air was silent, only the sound of two footsteps with the same rhythm could be clearly heard.

Ning Jinyun's light blue Xiangluo high-soled shoes stepped on the stone path, making a crisp sound of "click", while Qingyun was wearing a pair of plain flat shoes, and the footsteps were relatively muffled.

This kind of stone path can be seen everywhere in Ning's house, all of which are paved by smooth small pebbles, paved densely, not only not sloppy feet, but easier to walk, but also promote acupressure on the soles of the feet, which is conducive to the health of the whole body, which is particularly loved by Mrs. Ning.

If this kind of path is placed in ordinary people's homes, it may seem redundant and obstructive, but in Ningfu, it is not surprising, after all, the most important thing here is a variety of landscapes for enjoyment, compared to those cloud-like pavilions, these stone roads are really not worth mentioning.

Ning Mansion covers a wide area, built is also extremely luxurious, I think the ancestors of the Ning family spent a lot of money, and finally bought this Qingzhou's first feng shui treasure, so that there is now this rich and luxurious mansion.

The children and grandchildren of the Ning family, almost everyone has a spacious courtyard, and each courtyard is extremely carefully arranged, whether it is a verandah or a wing room, they are all arranged in a staggered and orderly manner. In addition, there are different pavilions and pavilions for the owners of the courtyard to rest and play.

Ning Jinyun lives in the Red Peony Courtyard in the northwest corner, which is the smallest and most remote courtyard of the Ning family, but despite this, she still feels that the Red Peony Courtyard is too empty. Fortunately, she has always been quiet, and her residence is comfortable.

Living with her is also Aunt Wen, who has taken care of her since she was a child.

Aunt Li and her two daughters live in the Peony Courtyard, while her son, Ning Haotian, enjoys a courtyard alone and does not have to spend all day with his troubled sisters.

And the Qixiang Courtyard, which is the most centered in Ningfu, is naturally lived by Mrs. Ning, the housekeeper of the family.

After Ning Jinyun walked back to the Red Peony Courtyard, she didn't go directly back to the main house where she lived, she turned a corner and went in the direction of the west wing, where Aunt Wen lived.
