Chapter 116: Distant Relatives
Three days later, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, a distant relative of the Ning family came over, and according to the seniority, Ning Jinyun should call her aunt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mrs. Ning asked people to call Ning Jinyun and Ning Jinyao over, and even Ning Jinhua, who was being grounded, was also called to Qixiang Courtyard, which shows that Mrs. Ning attaches great importance to the arrival of this distant relative.
After all, Ning Jinyun's aunt is well married, she is the wife of the largest salt merchant in Yanzhou, and everyone else calls her Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Ning is still a little afraid of this Mrs. Ye.
Ning Jinyun muttered reluctantly, "Grandmother also said that I don't have to come out to meet guests during the Chinese New Year, it seems that it is just talking, as soon as Mrs. Ye comes, don't I have to go." ā
Qingyun helped her put on her cloak, "Okay, miss, anyway, after you go to Qixiang Courtyard, just stand aside, just give Mrs. Ye a dignified and decent feeling, then the old lady can be satisfied, the slave has already ordered the kitchen to make your favorite radish cake, and you can eat it when you come back, don't be unhappy." ā
Ning Jinyun sighed softly, straightened out a little fold of the cloak on his shoulders, held a soup woman in his arms, and said to Qingyun, "Okay, let's go, the time is almost over, it's time to pass." ā
After arriving at Qixiang Courtyard, Ning Jinyun respectfully saluted Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye glanced at her, didn't say anything, and she silently retreated to the back.
Ning Jinyun had already heard about Mrs. Ye, she knew that although Mrs. Ye was a distant relative of the Ning family, she had never had much contact with the Ning family, how could this Mrs. Ye suddenly come to visit this year, it seemed a little strange.
Ning Jinyun looked at Mrs. Ye with her spare eyes, and peeked for a while, Mrs. Ye looked a little old, which made her already not good-looking appearance even inferior, and even a little ugly. However, although Mrs. Ye is not very good-looking, she is obviously a very arrogant person, not to mention Ning Jinyun, even when the old lady talks to her, she doesn't want to raise her eyelids, and she looks like no one in her eyes.
This Mrs. Ye is really annoying. This is the only thought in Ning Jinyun's heart at the moment.
After a while, Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinyao also came.
Mrs. Ye raised her arrogant chin, looked at Ning Jinhua, and immediately frowned, and asked, "You are the eldest lady of the Ning family?" ā
Ning Jinhua didn't expect Mrs. Ye to take the initiative to talk to her, and thought it was a good thing, so she replied flatteredly, "Yes, I am." ā
"What nonsense!" The next moment, Mrs. Ye let out a heavy cry in her throat.
Ning Jinyun and Ning Jinyao were taken aback, and Ning Jinhua was even more at a loss, she hadn't done anything yet, why was she messing around.
Mrs. Ye asked, "Didn't your sister just pass away this year, why did you wear a gorgeous dress?" I heard that she is still your own sister, and you should have dressed her in plain clothes, but instead of doing so, you still dressed up in a fancy way, which is really ignorant of the rules and is hopeless! ā
Ning Jinhua didn't realize this, she was indeed dressed too gorgeously today, and she even wore a bright red skirt. She has been grounded for so long, and she finally came out once, so she wanted to dress up beautifully, but she didn't expect to be picked by the rules, and she was really annoyed.
She had no choice but to look at Mrs. Ning for help.
Old Mrs. Ning waved her hand at her and asked her to retreat to the back, and then said to Mrs. Ye with a smile, "Hua'er, this kid just doesn't understand the rules, Mrs. Ye shouldn't be surprised, and don't be like her." ā
Ning Jinhua pouted, how could she not understand the rules, she endured this breath, so she did not argue with her grandmother.
Mrs. Ye was still unhappy, "Isn't she Tan'er's own sister, my sister is so bad, and my mother is a concubine, so shouldn't Tan'er be taught bad by them, it really shouldn't be!" ā
This time, it was Mrs. Ning's turn to be stunned, she was puzzled, this Mrs. Ye mentioned what Ning Haotian was doing, and said as if she cared about Ning Hao'er, was there any special reason?
Mrs. Ning has seen a lot, and she feels faintly uneasy in her heart, and the more she thinks about it, the more wrong she becomes.
Mrs. Ye commented on Ning Jinyun and Ning Jinyao again, although she didn't say too much, she could still see that she was picking thorns, to be precise, she was picking on the thorns of Ning Mansion, and both horizontal and vertical were alluding to the bad Ning Mansion.
In the face of her pickiness, Mrs. Ning could only smile awkwardly, and it was difficult to say anything else.
Time passed quickly, and seeing that it was about to be noon, Mrs. Ye suddenly proposed to see Ning Haotian.
Old Lady Ning paused before she smiled, "Qian'er is estimated to have fallen asleep now, and it shouldn't be convenient to call him over now." ā
Mrs. Ye nodded, "Okay, I'll wait here for a while, waiting for him to wake up." ā
"This ......" Old Lady Ning couldn't help it a little and asked, "Mrs. Ye." With all due respect, you seem to care a lot about Tan'er, but you haven't seen my family before, so why do you have to see him? ā
Mrs. Ye stared at the old lady, her eyes were a little complicated, she moved the corners of her mean lips, and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth, I came to visit Ningfu today just for your grandson." ā
"For the sake of the pour?" Old Mrs. Ning shook her head, expressing puzzlement.
Mrs. Ye explained in a deep voice, "Actually, I have not been married into the Ye Mansion for many years, we have checked with the doctor, my husband is infertile, and our Ye family cannot have a future." ā
Ning Jinyun was very surprised, Mrs. Ye was married to a rich and powerful salt merchant, but she didn't expect that she could not have children.
Hearing this, Mrs. Ning was also shocked, but soon she became alert, Mrs. Ye can tell this kind of ugly thing, why is this? Something to do with Tilt? Don't......
Mrs. Ye continued to take care of herself, "The Ye family only has my husband's single lineage, even if our husband and wife can't give birth to offspring for the Ye family, we must let the Ye family have successors, the Ye family has no relatives, and I only know about your family of relatives on the Ning family's side, so I came here to find a descendant for our Ye family." ā
Ning Jinyun covered her mouth, her eyes widened, this Mrs. Ye came to visit the Ning family, she actually wanted to adopt Ning Haotian to be the child of the Ye family? She knew that her grandmother would definitely not agree, and her father would not either.
Ning Jinhua next to him glanced at Ning Jinyun, saw that she was so surprised, and snorted, "What's wrong with you, you were bitten by insects?" Eyes so big? ā
Ning Jinyun lowered his voice, "Are you bored in the yard and stupid, can't you see it, Mrs. Ye wants to adopt your younger brother to inherit the Ye family!" (To be continued.) )
