Chapter 55: Gift-giving

At night, it was difficult for Mrs. Ning to sleep, she thought about it repeatedly for a night, and finally made a decision. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Yuhuan has been by her side for many years, but in the final analysis, she is just a maid, and the maid can find someone else, but the interests and stability of the Ning Mansion will never allow anyone to destroy it.

After calming down, Mrs. Ning was not completely sure whether Yuhuan was really the mastermind behind the theft of the luminous cup, but just because she seized Aunt Zhao's things without authorization, and took the opportunity to bully Aunt Wen by searching her home, she lied and refused to admit the matter of the silver hairpin, and she was very eager to become the uncle's concubine, so she could already see her domineering and ambition. Such a maid can't stay, otherwise it is very likely to become a disaster for Ning Mansion in the future.

The next day, Mrs. Ning didn't see Yuhuan in person, she just told Mother Qian to give Yuhuan some silver, so that Yuhuan could leave Ningfu and fend for herself in the future.

Red Peony Temple.

In the morning, Ning Jinyun was still working on the Songling Crane Shou Diagram that had not been completed the day before, and not long after, Qingyun came back from outside and entered the inner room, her steps were much lighter than before.

Ning Jinyun stopped the paintbrush in his hand, turned his head to look at Qing Yun, and said, "What's the matter, what's the news from Qixiang Courtyard?" ”

Qing Yun smiled and bent her eyes, "Yes, and it's big news, it is estimated that everyone in the mansion will know soon." ”

Hearing this, Ning Jinyun became interested, she put down her pen and ink, and motioned for Qingyun to continue.

Earlier, the old lady had already kicked Yuhuan out, and Yuhuan was still crying and reluctant to leave, but then her brother and sister-in-law came, and Mother Qian gave her brother and sister-in-law a little money for dismissal, and her brother and sister-in-law took her home. I heard that Yuhuan's sister-in-law didn't want to add one more person to the family to eat rice, and she was going to find a mother-in-law for Yuhuan after returning home and marry her off. ”

Ning Jinyun let out a long breath, no matter if Yuhuan was married or what, as long as she could leave the Ning family, her eyes would be much quieter.

She asked curiously, "Qingyun, do you know what the Qixiang Courtyard used to drive away Yuhuan?" ”

With her understanding of her grandmother, she felt that her grandmother would not tell the truth for the sake of face, at most she would only make up other reasons to send away Yuhuan and block the mouth of the Ning Mansion.

Qingyun understood what the young lady meant, nodded and said, "Mother Qian said that it was because Yuhuan accidentally broke one of the old lady's jade ornaments, and the jade ornament was the dowry that the old lady brought when she got married, and it was very precious to the old lady, so the old lady threw the jade ring out in a fit of anger." ”

This reason is really far-fetched, Ning Jinyun knows that her grandmother's dowry is very rich, and a jade ornament is nothing at all, so it is worth making a big fuss about it. What's more, it is said that it is a jade ornament, but it is not clear what it is, which is obviously perfunctory.

But in the end, these don't matter anymore, as long as Yuhuan is sent away.

Ning Jinyun shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to drive away all his sorrows, and his mood was much better.

She turned her head to look at the painting on the table and asked Xiang Qingyun, "I'm almost done with this painting, can you help me take a look, how is the painting?" ”

Qingyun leaned over and took a look at it, although she didn't know how to paint, but she could also see that the scenery on this painting was atmospheric, the clouds and cranes were lifelike, and the color of the whole painting was also full and vivid, it should be a good painting.

"The young lady is really good at drawing, and the old lady will be very satisfied when she sees it, if it were the eldest lady or the third lady, they would definitely not be able to draw such a good picture." After Qingyun saw it, she was full of praise.

Ning Jinyun smiled lightly, "What are you doing with the two of them?" Anyway, the eldest sister and the third sister will not salute with paintings. ”

Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao are not good at painting, but the female celebrity is okay, and most of them will send their own embroidery pictures for Mrs. Ning's birthday gift this year.

"My grandmother said that a relative in her mother's family passed away this year, so she didn't want to have a grand birthday because she just had a family banquet, and she didn't plan to invite outsiders. I'm going to hurry up and get the painting done and send it the day before my grandmother's birthday, because there are no outsiders at the family banquet anyway, so there's no need to make a show in front of everyone, so there's nothing wrong with sending it in advance. Ning Jinyun said thoughtfully.

She did this because she didn't want to send the painting on her grandmother's birthday, in front of Aunt Li's mother and daughter, lest her painting be commented on by the three of them, and it would be ridiculed for nothing, which would also add to the trouble.

Qingyun understood Miss's intentions, and nodded approvingly.

Three days later, the picture of Songling Heshou had already been completed, Ning Jinyun rolled up the painting, tied it with a crimson silk ribbon, put it into a dark purple long box, and took it to Qixiang Temple.

At the gate of Qixiang Courtyard, Ning Jinyun met Mother Qian, who told her that the old lady was meeting guests in the Ming Hall, and she was also a distinguished guest, so I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to go in and disturb at this time.

So Ning Jinyun walked out of Qixiang Courtyard and wandered around a small peach forest behind Qixiang Courtyard for a while, she wanted to wait for the guests to leave, and then go in to give her birthday gift to her grandmother.

The peach grove is filled with the aroma of peaches, and there are many ripe peaches hanging from the branches of each peach tree. When Ning Jinyun was about to walk to the end of the peach forest, a strange man suddenly appeared in her sight, the man was facing away from her, holding a big peach in his hand, eating happily.

Ning Jinyun could see at a glance that the person in front of him was definitely not Li Yuanjing, nor Li Yuanqian, nor was he from the Ning family, but who could he be, and how did he come to Ning Mansion?

Just as she hesitated to ask, the man suddenly turned around and walked over to her. Ning Jinyun saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help but feel very surprised, wasn't this Shen Yunxuan, the son of the Shen family who quarreled with Li Yuanjing on the street that day? How could he be here.

As soon as Shen Yunxuan looked up, he also saw Ning Jinyun, he was also stunned for a moment, looking at the uneaten peaches in his hand, he stood a little embarrassed, remembering the scene on the street on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

At that time, Ning Jinyun also compensated him for a bunch of zongzi.

Now that she has seen it, she has to say hello out of politeness, Ning Jinyun opened her mouth first, she looked at Shen Yunxuan, who had not yet come back to her senses, and said softly, "I have seen Shen Gongzi, I don't know why Shen Gongzi came to Ning Mansion." ”

Shen Yunxuan coughed twice and replied, "It turned out to be Miss Ning Er, we have met before, but don't worry, I am not here for the last time, but to accompany my mother to give Mrs. Ning a birthday gift." ”

After the last incident, he also specially inquired about Ning Jinyun's identity from the little guy next to him, and only then did he learn that Ning Jinyun was the second lady of the Ning family.

Many years ago, the Shen family and the Ning family had dealings, and now that the Shen family has moved back to Qingzhou, Mrs. Shen also intends to continue to make friends with the Ning family and maintain contacts.
