Chapter Eighty-Four: Meeting
Ning Jinyun stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath of fresh air, and then couldn't help but shiver, she wrapped the cloud pattern Shu brocade coat on her body, thinking that it was so cold, it was time to take out the thick coat and wear it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, Mrs. Ning invited Mrs. Shen to come and sit down, and she sent people to each courtyard to inform Ning Jinyun, Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinyao to come over to meet the guests.
Ning Jinyun guessed that Shen Yunxuan would probably come with Mrs. Shen as well, and with his grandmother's temperament, he might start matching his granddaughter and the son of the Shen family again.
In the afternoon, Ning Jinyun wore a tender purple butterfly pattern cotton skirt, a moon-white brocade dress on the upper body, a generous and elegant cloud bun, a long and flat hosta, and a little powder, and went to Qixiang Courtyard.
After arriving at Qixiang Courtyard, it happened that Aunt Li and Ning Jinhua also came over, Aunt Li took her daughter to salute the old lady respectfully, and met Mrs. Shen again.
Ning Jinyao had already arrived, and when she saw Ning Jinyun coming, she hurriedly grabbed Ning Jinyun's arm and said childishly, "Second sister, I was able to play a complete song yesterday, and I will play it to you when I have time." ”
Ning Jinyun smiled, "You learn quite quickly, with your mother's supervision, you can't be lazy." ”
Sometimes she is quite envious of her cousin, in addition to eating, sleeping and sleeping all day long, she just plays the piano and learns to learn words, and her life is relaxed and comfortable, and she doesn't have to worry about those adult things at all.
At this time, Mrs. Shen had already noticed her, and Mrs. Shen said to the old lady with a smile, "You are really blessed, you have such three Peugeot lovely granddaughters under Chenghuan's knees, which others can't think of." ”
Ning Jinyun raised her head and looked at Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen was dressed dignified and decent, both elegant and not luxurious, but extraordinarily noble, she was the same as Shen Yunxuan, she had a pair of bright eyes, and she looked very clear.
"I've seen Mrs. Shen." Ning Jinyun said softly, blessed Mrs. Shen, and blessed Shen Yunxuan on the side.
Shen Yunxuan, who was dressed in white, looked at her with a smile and nodded in response.
After listening to Mrs. Shen's words, Ning Jinyao, who was beside her, said without thinking too much, "Grandmother not only has three granddaughters, but four, and I also have a third sister." ”
Hearing this, everyone knew that she was talking about Ning Jinrao.
Aunt Li and Ning Jinhua's faces turned cold, and this sentence poked at their weakness, making them think of Ning Jinrao, who was in the palace and didn't know how to live, their hearts throbbed and hurt, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
Old Mrs. Ning smiled, "Indeed, I also have a granddaughter, she was taken by King Lu and accepted as a concubine, and she was the first child of our Ning family to marry. ”
Mrs. Shen knew this situation and felt that it was better to talk less about this, so she diverted the topic, "By the way, I just heard from the fourth lady that she has learned to play the piano, and the young ladies of the Mo Fei Ning family have all learned the piano at a young age?" ”
For this, Mrs. Ning is still quite proud.
Generally, large families will let girls learn the talent of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but due to talent and personality, most people can only learn one or two of them, and her two granddaughters Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinyun are very proficient in everything, although they are not yet proficient, but among the rich ladies of the same age, they are already considered to be the best.
Mrs. Ning was happy and said to Mrs. Shen, "I invited female gentlemen for my granddaughters to learn piano, painting, poetry, literacy, and female popularity, etc., and let them choose to study. ”
Mrs. Shen praised, "It is already very rare to be able to learn so many talents, and it seems that the young lady of the Ning family really deserves her reputation." ”
What he said was all kind words, not interesting, Ning Jinyun sighed softly, it seems that today is nothing more than to accompany his grandmother to make a show.
After Mrs. Ning finished talking about her granddaughter, she fell on Shen Yunxuan again, "Shen Gongzi is the only son of the Shen family, I think Mrs. Shen must have spent a lot of effort to cultivate Shen Gongzi, I don't know what books Shen Gongzi usually reads, but I have the idea of planning to participate in the scientific examination." ”
Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Yunxuan, turned back to the old lady and said, "Yunxuan is a child with ideas, and his temperament is relatively stubborn, I didn't come to cultivate him with my heart, just let him go by himself, as for participating in the scientific examination, I don't think he has this plan yet." ”
Shen Yunxuan was not interested in the rigid knowledge of the scientific examination, and he did not have any thoughts of becoming an official, he had already told Mrs. Shen that he would never participate in the scientific examination in this life, and Mrs. Shen also agreed with his idea.
Mrs. Shen was born in a wealthy family, and she has a deep understanding of the struggles and filthiness of the government and the opposition, and she does not want her son to embark on this road in the future.
Aunt Li interjected after hearing this, "Why don't you participate in the scientific examination?" My two nephews are ready to pass the imperial examination to gain fame and glory. ”
But after that, she regretted it again, those two nephews are the Li family, and the glory of the ancestors is also to the Li family, what is the matter with her, her brother has already deceived her like that, and she has long not regarded her as a family, why should she be so concerned about the affairs of the Li family.
"What's the use of just participating, it's not necessarily whether you can pass the test or not." Old Mrs. Ning glanced at Li, obviously dissatisfied with her being too talkative.
In the final analysis, the old lady just doesn't look down on the Li family, even if someone in the Li family has gained fame, she never regards the Li family as a real family.
Aunt Li had no choice but to silence and say no more.
Old Mrs. Ning picked up Mrs. Shen's words just now and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to have your own ideas, Shen Gongzi is not different from ordinary Gongzi at first glance, and he will definitely become a great weapon in the future." ”
For this kind of flattery, Shen Yunxuan naturally didn't take it to heart, he raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he didn't hear it, but Mrs. Shen politely responded to the old lady a few words.
Old Mrs. Ning glanced at Mother Qian and ordered, "Go and get some snacks, and then bring some kumquat juice from Boss Feng yesterday." ”
Qian's mother went immediately.
Now the Shen family is all decided by Mrs. Shen, and the Shen family also has an unmarried son, so Mrs. Ning hopes to have a good relationship with Mrs. Shen, so that the Ning and Shen families can maintain contacts and friendship from generation to generation. (To be continued.) )
