Ning Jinyun had heard of Yan Qiushui and knew that she was the second lady of the Yan family, a concubine, and she had neither talent nor outstanding appearance, people would often compare her with Yan Ruyu, saying that she was too far behind her sister. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Jinyao pointed to the ribs on the table and asked, "Sister Qiushui, did you make this dish?" It's delicious. ”

Yan Qiushui nodded, "I made it, I usually like to cook, and I often cook it for myself, but although I cook well, it's useless, except for satisfying my appetite." My dad used to say that girls should learn how to play the piano or dance, and they shouldn't always stay in the kitchen. ”

"What's wrong with being able to cook, I still want to learn it." Ning Jinyao said innocently, "But Sister Qiushui, do you often cook and eat by yourself, shouldn't these things be done by subordinates." ”

Hearing this, Yan Qiushui paused, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't answer the words.

Ning Jinyun diverted the topic, "By the way, Miss Yan Er, I heard that your family has only returned to Qingzhou not long ago, are you still used to everything?" ”

"For me, it's no different whether it's in Qingzhou or Beijing." Yan Qiushui said indifferently, "Anyway, I stay at home most of the time, and I don't have anything to do, this is the case in the capital, and it is the same in Qingzhou." So I'm very happy to be able to come to the Hundred Food Banquet today, and to be able to come out and have fun. ”

The Yan family has some industries in the capital, and the Yan family also has clansmen who are big officials in the court, and they should be very rich people.

It's just that when Ning Jinyun saw Yan Qiushui, she couldn't help but sigh, the treatment of the Yan sisters is too bad, Yan Qiushui's clothes are not gorgeous, and the jewelry and makeup are also very ordinary, it is difficult to associate her with Yan Ruyu.

Ning Jinyun guessed that the status and favor of the second lady of the Yan family in the Yan family must be much worse than Yan Ruyu, after all, there is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, and Yan Qiushui is an extremely ordinary woman, so she is indeed not as popular as Yan Ruyu.

Ning Jinyao asked, "Sister Qiushui, that beautiful young lady is also from the Yan family, are you sisters, then why don't you sit together." ”

Yan Qiushui nodded, "That's right, she is my sister, but we were not born to the same mother, and the relationship is also very ordinary, you also saw it just now, my eldest sister is very concerned by everyone, and has also been valued by Mrs. Shen, she has to sit in front with Mrs. Shen and Shen Gongzi, and I am not suitable to sit with them, so don't go to annoy people." ”

She spoke very calmly, and her tone was as usual, without too many emotional changes, and she couldn't hear any dissatisfaction or jealousy.

After hearing this, Ning Jinyun admired Yan Qiushui's calmness very much, if it was her, it would be difficult to say such things to someone he just met.

Ning Jinyao said whatever she thought of, "Oh, that's the case, I also understand this." Just like Sister Qiushui and Miss Yan didn't play well, my second sister and I didn't have a good relationship with the other two sisters in our family, and I don't know why, anyway, they just couldn't get used to us and refused to get along with us. ”

"Yao'er." Ning Jinyun stopped the fourth sister and glanced at her again.

After all, it's not good to talk about your own family when you just got acquainted.

Yan Qiushui didn't take it to heart, but asked, "By the way, do you two usually stay in your own house, are the elders of your family strict?" If I can, I don't know if I can go to Ningfu to find you, I have something I want to ask you for help. ”

Ning Jinyun thought for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing, in return, I can cook sweet and sour pork ribs for you to eat, in addition to pork ribs, I will cook a lot of dishes, I can cook whatever you want."

Hearing this, Ning Jinyao's eyes lit up.

Ning Jinyun felt strange, what did this young lady of the Yan family want.

"Miss Yan Er, but it doesn't matter, if we can help you, we will do our best." Ning Jinyun said politely.

Yan Qiushui was very happy when they agreed, "I heard many people in the city say that the young ladies of the Ning family are versatile, I think you must have a lot of books to read, I wonder if you can borrow me a few books to read, and I can only read books from you, and I can't bring the books back to the Yan Mansion." ”

Ning Jinyun raised his eyebrows, doesn't the Yan family have books, this is impossible.

She wondered, "Why can't you read in your own home?" ”

Yan Qiushui lowered his head and explained: "My room is actually very small, and the elders are very strict with me, so I can't hide his books in my own room. My father didn't let me study, he said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and I was not allowed to study, but my mother secretly taught me to read. If I want to read more books, I'll have to think for myself. ”

After that, she looked at Ning Jinyun and begged, "Second Miss Ning, can you help me, I can cook for you every time I finish reading the book, okay?" ”

Seeing that she just wanted to study, Ning Jinyun felt that it was okay to agree, so she agreed.

"Yes, you can come to the Red Peony Courtyard in Ning Mansion to find me."

Yan Qiushui was very grateful after hearing this, and hurriedly got up to thank you, "Thank you, I will read with peace of mind and will not disturb you." ”

Ning Jinyun was a little strange, why this second lady of the Yan family was so obsessed with reading, but at this time, there was another question in her mind.

She asked tentatively, "Isn't your father not allowing your sister Miss Yan to study?" ”

Although a woman doesn't have to be full of money, but as a famous lady, she doesn't know anything about reading and writing, which is inevitably a little too much, if Yan Ruyu can't read like Yan Qiushui, then she is not as attractive as the outside world says.

However, Yan Qiushui's answer was not like this.

"No, my sister can read, and my dad often encourages her to read." Yan Qiushui's voice became smaller and smaller, and she had a somewhat depressed look, "My father has different requirements for me and my sister, and what my eldest sister can do doesn't mean that I can too." ”

Seeing this, Ning Jinyun understood a little in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Yan Qiushui, this Yan Qiushui was even worse than her situation. At least she is still the daughter of the Ning family, and she can do whatever she wants, but Yan Qiushui has to be pressed by her sister, and she is not valued by her father, and her life is too hard.

"It's okay, as long as you want to read in the future, you can come to Ningfu to find me, this little thing doesn't have to be polite." Ning Jinyun said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
