At night, Ning Jinyun really didn't sleep well, she tossed and turned all night, sleeping very unsteadily, and when she woke up the next morning, she didn't have much energy, and she always kept yawning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was noon in a flash, and after Qingyun reminded and urged three more times, Ning Jinyun was willing to prepare to go to Qilan Courtyard.

Qingyun looked at Ning Jinyun, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "Miss, today is a family banquet, why don't you re-comb your hair and the clothes on your body, do you want to change it too?" The slave maid felt ...... You're dressed a little too casually. ”

Ning Jinyun shook his head weakly, sighed, and said, "What is there to dress up, grandmother won't come for a while, and don't be afraid that she will make a mistake." No matter what I dress, the second wife and Yao'er won't mind, as for the rest of the people, they are all things I don't like, so I don't need to clean them up carefully. ”

Hearing this, Qingyun smiled dumbly, although Miss's words were all crooked, she really had no way to refute them, so she had to go with Miss.

At today's luncheon, except for Mrs. Ning and Aunt Wen, everyone else will be there. Mrs. Ning has always liked to be quiet, and rarely joins in this kind of excitement, and Aunt Wen accidentally sprained her foot two days ago, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she would not go, so she sent someone to inform the second wife early, and she paid for it.

The second wife is a reasonable person, so naturally she will not be surprised.

Before going out, Ning Jinyun specially went to the west wing room and instructed the eldest girl to pick Ling, "The small kitchen has already made lunch, and when my aunt wakes up, I will serve my aunt to eat, if the food is cold after a long time, I must remember to reheat it again, and then bring it over." ”

"Yes, Second Miss, please rest assured."

Cai Ling did things safely, and lived up to Ning Jinyun's trust, since she came to serve Aunt Wen, she took care of everything in the West Wing in an orderly manner, and served Aunt Wen very carefully, never slacking off.

Cai Ling stayed by Aunt Wen's side, Ning Jinyun felt relieved, after she explained all the instructions in the courtyard, she took Qingyun and went to Qilan Courtyard, this time, she also brought a jar of homemade sour plum soup over.

Although Ning Jinyun is not very proficient in cooking and has no intention of learning, she is very good at making and drinking, and there are many fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables in the Red Peony Courtyard all year round, which are used to make drinks for her.

After a while, Ning Jinyun and Qingyun walked to the gate of Qilan Courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Ning Jinyao happily running towards them.

Ning Jinyao pulled Ning Jinyun's sleeve and walked into the house, saying proudly, "Second sister, I'm happy today, do you know why?" ”

"Because it's lively today, there can be a lot of people to play with you, right?" Ning Jinyun guessed with a smile.

Ning Jinyao shook her head vigorously and muttered, "No, it's because today my mother is the boss and holds a family banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Li Dagongzi and Li Ergongzi, so my mother will allow me to take a day off, and I don't have to go to Huilantang to learn the piano with Yuan Niangzi." ”

After hearing this, Ning Jinyun burst out laughing.

She lightly tapped the tip of Ning Jinyao's nose and teased, "You are happy to be like this just for such a trivial matter?" It's really unproductive. Now you're just learning the piano, and in the second half of the year, you're going to start learning to be a female celebrity, and next year, you'll have to learn to paint. ”

Ning Jinyao lowered her eyes and let out a long sigh like an adult, "Alas, let's talk about it later, anyway, you don't need to learn the piano today, second sister, you don't know, for me, being able to rest for a day is equivalent to an amnesty in the world." ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, come in, don't keep your mother waiting too long." Ning Jinyun said with a smile.

The two sisters walked into the Ming Hall with arms in hand, talking and laughing.

There was a big yellow rosewood table in the Ming Hall, everyone had arrived, and they had already sat down around this table, Ning Jinyun glanced at the people in the room, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he became serious unconsciously.

When the second wife saw her coming, she hurriedly came over and beckoned her to sit down, saying that the meal would be ready immediately.

Ning Jinyun found his place and sat down, sitting firmly, but it was also like sitting on pins and needles. Opposite her sat Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian, and on the left hand side sat Ning Jinrao and the two sisters, how could she eat this meal smoothly.

Soon, a few maids brought the dishes, a total of sixteen dishes, plus two soups, these dishes smell fragrant and look good, all from the hands of Chef Xu of Qilan Courtyard, since it is made by Chef Xu, it must taste very good.

In front of Ning Jinyun was a plate of braised prawns in oil and a plate of fried bamboo shoots. It was inconvenient for her to stretch out her arms to eat vegetables in front of others, and she was embarrassed to keep staring at the prawns, so she had to keep holding the bamboo shoots closest to her.

She thought that even if this dish was tasteless, it would be better than talking useless gossip with everyone, as long as she lowered her head and just ate it, and didn't look at the people she didn't want to see, this meal would be able to survive smoothly.

However, halfway through the meal, Ning Jinhua didn't know when he was eyeing her.

Ning Jinhua suddenly sandwiched two pieces of braised pork and put them in a small porcelain plate, handed them to Ning Jinyun, and said skillfully, "Second sister, why don't you eat vegetarian dishes?" Come, I've got some meat for you, eat it." ”

Well? Ning Jinyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised her head, she saw Ning Jinhua smiling faintly at her, only then did she realize that she was talking to herself. But when did Ning Jinhua ever have such a gentle tone towards her? Not to mention having food for her.

Ning Jinyun thought of Li Yuanjing, who was sitting at the same table, and immediately understood, it turned out that Ning Jinhua wanted to show his virtuous and gentle side in front of his sweetheart, and pretend to be a good sister.

Not only her, but Ning Jinrao and Ning Jinyao on the side, as well as the second wife, were also stunned when they heard the voice. The dinner table immediately fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Ning Jinyun lowered his eyes, looked at the meat on the plate, and squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, but he couldn't get the chopsticks down. Ning Jinhua really deserves to be her good sister, the meat she sandwiches is the fattest and greasy, looking at this whole piece of oily fat meat, how do you want her to eat it.

But the people at the table had all looked at her at this time, if she didn't eat, it seemed that she would not give Ning Jinhua face.

She thought about it, but still pushed the porcelain plate away with her index finger, and said in a muffled voice, "Sister Lao bother, I don't want to eat meat." ”

Since you deliberately picked fat to embarrass me, don't blame me for not giving you face.
