Chapter 22 Go
Sure enough, after the cleaning of the portal of the Red Peony Courtyard, coupled with the publicity everywhere after Yun Wen went back, almost everyone in the Ning Mansion now knows Ning Jinyun's "bad temper". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Second Miss has changed, Second Miss has really changed." That's what people say.
The maids and ladies didn't have the courage to smile at Ning Jinyun anymore, and when they saw her, they would subconsciously become restrained, and salute her with low eyebrows, with a deferential look on their faces.
In the Red Peony Courtyard, there is no longer the slack and lazy atmosphere of the past, and the people have to be careful when they start working, and there are no longer lazy and slippery people.
Ning Jinyun was very satisfied with these changes, which was what she really wanted.
Of course, she also knows how to use both soft and hard, and occasionally, she will take out some broken silver or some gadgets to reward people, she wants everyone to know that she is a master with clear rewards and punishments, and not a really harsh person.
In this way, Ning Jinyun can let herself get the respect she deserves and establish her prestige.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the early morning, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the gate of Ningfu, the wheels of the carriage looked very clean, not contaminated with too much soil, obviously the carriage came from not far away, and it had not even left the city gate.
From the carriage, two young men in long clothes walked down, they were the two brothers of the Li family, Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian. The little maid at the door bent down to straighten the corners of their robes for them, and got up and respectfully invited them into the Hanging Flower Gate, where stood two mothers-in-law, their faces full of smiles, and the folds were much more obvious.
"Master Li, Second Prince Li, please come in, the old lady is waiting for you two in Qixiang Courtyard."
The mother-in-law took hurried and small steps, and led the two of them to Qixiang Courtyard to see Mrs. Ning.
The distinguished guests have arrived, and the ladies of the family naturally want to go to say hello, especially the four sisters of the Ning family, no one can be missing.
Ning Jinyun had already dressed up, she stood in the courtyard, staring straight at the mossy corner, a little stunned. The gentle sunlight shines through the scattered leaves, casting slightly swaying mottled shadows on the ground, and the birds also pass through the air from time to time, leaving a few crisp chirps, this should have been a leisurely and pleasant morning, and she should have sat quietly reading a book, or being a good female celebrity, and talking with Qingyun without a match.
It shouldn't be wearing a new dress that makes her uncomfortable, and she has to go to see the old person head-on.
"Miss, let's go over quickly, don't let the old lady wait."
Qing Yun stood behind her at some point and reminded softly.
Ning Jinyun put on a depressed look and smiled reluctantly, "Okay, let's go to grandmother." ”
Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and her steps were heavy, and she had to walk more and more slowly.
Just now, when she was dressing up in the mirror, Ning Jinyun deliberately asked Qingyun to comb her ingots, and the black green silk was pulled into two small hair buns, one left and one right, erected on her head. This made her look a little more immature than usual, a little more like a child, and her original temperament was hidden.
She has always liked to comb Lingyun's hair, but today, it is different from the past.
Among the newly made clothes, Ning Jinyun picked and chosen, and finally fell in love with a blue plain brocade robe, a blue dark pattern Luo skirt, and a pair of thick-soled ink-colored embroidered shoes at her feet. She wore a string of mahogany beads on her chest, a bunch of blessing bracelets from her grandmother on her wrist, and few jewelry in her hair, except for a short hairpin and a light-colored beaded hairpin.
Her outfit is too plain and too ordinary, if there is a girl standing next to her in a gorgeous dress, it will be difficult for her to attract attention.
After a while, we arrived at Keisho-in.
Ning Jinyun waited outside the gate for a while, and only then did they go inside together until Ning Jinhua, Ning Jinrao, and Ning Jinyao had all arrived.
In this case, it is customary for people of the same generation to go to meet guests together.
"Second sister, is this dress on your body old? The color looks like it was bought a few years ago, so why don't you wear a new dress? ”
Before she could take a few steps, Ning Jinrao's strange voice came from behind her, and Ning Jinyun could hear the mockery, but she didn't bother to argue with her.
She and Ning Jinyao walked a little ahead, and Ning Jinrao and Ning Jinhua walked behind.
Ning Jinyun didn't look back, but replied lightly, "The skirt was newly purchased this time, and the third sister's eyesight is a little poor." "The lotus color is not a bright color, it has nothing to do with the old and the new.
Hearing this, Ning Jinrao still continued to ask knowingly, "It's not that I have bad eyesight, but the second sister, why do you dress like this, you look like a maid." And the hairpin on your head, it looks really shabby, could it be that you borrowed this hairpin from Qingyun? ”
With that, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed deliberately.
Qing Yun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ning Jinyun, in her sight, Ning Jinyun's face gradually turned a little pale.
Suddenly, Ning Jinyun stopped, turned around, stared at Ning Jinrao, who was laughing, and snorted, "Third sister said that I laughed, this hairpin was not borrowed by me from Qingyun, it was given to me by my grandmother, what's wrong, do you think this hairpin sent by my grandmother is not good?" Like worthless objects? Only for maids? ”
Hearing that it was related to her grandmother, of course Ning Jinrao didn't dare to say anything more, she just wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Ning Jinyun, but she didn't want to offend her grandmother unintentionally. Her eyes blinked twice unnaturally, and her tone was a little awkward, "No...... I didn't mean that, if it was given by my grandmother, it must be the best, and I was blinded. ”
A disdainful smile flashed in Ning Jinyun's eyes, she set her eyes on Ning Jinrao's body, and looked at it for a while, the various clothes in front of her made her a little dazzled, it seems that the third sister is really attentive in order to see the Li brothers.
Ning Jinrao wore a Yunfei makeup satin brocade with gold silk brocade on her upper body, and wore a butterfly pattern baishui skirt under her waist, the skirt was sewn with silver wire, and there were a few round pearls on it, which was really gorgeous. She has a pair of purple jade hibiscus earrings hanging from her earlobes, an agate bracelet on her wrist, and a gold-inlaid jade bracelet.
It seems that she must be desperate for the limelight, and wants to make herself stand out from the other three sisters with a dress. It's a pity that although the clothes are beautiful and the jewelry is beautiful, these are all put together but lose their beauty, only a kind of flashy fancy. It's not very pretty.
Ning Jinyun pulled the corners of her mouth, and her tone was a little playful, "Third sister, in order to meet guests, your dress is really elaborate, at first glance, it looks like a butterfly." Look at you like this, where do you seem to want to meet your cousins, I don't know, you think you want to meet your unmarried husband?! ”
"I ......" Ning Jinrao's cheeks suddenly turned red, and there was a panic that the secret had been spied on, and she said shyly and anxiously, "Second sister, don't talk nonsense!" ”
