Chapter Twenty-Three: First Sight

A hint of nervousness wafted through the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ning Jinyun didn't say more, but she kept staring at Ning Jinrao meaningfully, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she was smiling.

Her gaze was like a strong flame, making Ning Jinrao's cheeks burn.

Ning Jinrao kneaded the corners of her beautiful clothes with her hands, her breathing was a little short, she pursed a pair of lips unconvinced, and her face became redder and redder. Indeed, after listening to her mother's words, she intended to get acquainted with the two cousins, but she really wanted to marry them before she was sure, why did Ning Jinyun say such a thing?

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go inside, grandmother has been waiting for a while, we have something to rub into." At this time, Ning Jinhua suddenly spoke out to break the deadlock. She kept a calm face, glanced at Ning Jinyun, who had the upper hand, and then turned her head to look at her extremely embarrassed sister, and reached out to push it.

She leaned into Ning Jinrao's ear and whispered, "She's just joking, why are you blushing?" The more you do this, the more she wants to laugh at you. Hurry up and stop being stupid, lest you have to be embarrassed when you see your grandmother and cousin! ”

Ning Jinrao came back to her senses at this time, and no longer paid attention to Ning Jinyun, she lowered her eyes, sorted out her clothes and accessories a little, and then walked inside with Ning Jinhua. Her footsteps were hurried and heavy, and her mood was still unstable.

Ning Jinyun shook his head and smiled indifferently, and whispered to Ning Jinyao beside him, "Let's go in too." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as I entered the Ming Hall, I saw that Mrs. Ning was wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting upright on the upper seat, her waist was straight, and there was a kind smile on her face, like an elder who was not angry and arrogant.

On her left hand were a few cups of freshly brewed tea, and several steaming hot gases floated up from the mouths of the cups, forming a white gas in the air, with a hazy fog feeling. On her right, there are two tall and tall figures, and the identities of the two of them are already very clear to everyone.

Seeing that her granddaughters were coming, Mrs. Ning raised her right hand and gestured, and said with a smile, "These are the two sons of the Li family, and they are going to stay in the mansion for a long time, a few of you come over to say hello, Yuan Jing, Yuan Qian and you are the same generation, you don't have to be too restrained." ”

So, Ning Jinhua took his three younger sisters forward and first saluted his grandmother, and then turned sideways to greet Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian, and said in unison, "I've seen two sons." ”

Ning Jinyun raised his head and glanced at it quickly, then hurriedly lowered his head again, his heart beating extremely fast. She pursed her lips subconsciously and clenched her fists in her sleeves, her eyelashes trembling in panic with unease.

In her memory, the scene when she first met the Li brothers was still exactly the same as now, without the slightest change, but her impression of these two people had already changed drastically.

Li Yuanjing stood tall in front of a hanging screen, his figure was long, wearing a dark narrow sleeve cloud pattern robe, the cuffs were embroidered with gold thread auspicious cloud patterns, and he wore a white jade exquisite waist around his waist. His face is well-defined, his eyebrows are thick and dark, his lips are thin, and his countenance can be called very handsome.

It's just that he kept his face slightly up, and he didn't smile too much, and the arrogance in his eyes was obvious.

Behind him, standing was his younger brother, Li Yuanqian.

Li Yuanqian's posture is not inferior to Li Yuanjing, although his appearance is not exquisite, but his eyebrows and eyes are as warm as jade, and with a white elegant robe, it makes people feel good.

Seeing the Ning sisters coming to salute, he raised a pair of deep eyes and smiled back at them.

Ning Jinyun was apprehensive, but also did not forget to complain to herself, how bad her eyesight was in the past, so that she would fall in love with Li Yuanjing, who was just a vain appearance, obviously Li Yuanqian on the side was a polite and modest gentleman, even if she liked Li Yuanqian, she was much more reliable than Li Yuanjing.

But why couldn't she see through it at the beginning, and didn't regard Li Yuanjing as a beloved person worthy of being entrusted for life......

Maybe it's because the authorities are obsessed......

The room was a little cold, no one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ning pointed to Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, and introduced to the two brothers of the Li family, "This is your cousin Hua'er and Rao'er, you met when you were children, but I don't know if you still remember." Now that many years have passed, the two of them have grown from small children to big girls, you are not familiar with Ning Mansion, let them take you around in a while. ”

After hearing this, Li Yuanjing finally put away his arrogant chin, nodded twice, his gaze hastily swept over Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, and then looked away.

"Thank you for the old lady's careful arrangement, my brother and I often think about the two cousins, and it is really rare to have the opportunity to meet again today, but I never thought that the two sisters would be so good in the blink of an eye, it is really valuable to have everyone's demeanor." Li Yuanqian took Mrs. Ning's words and said politely.

After that, he smiled faintly at Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was just right, otherwise, one more point would be a little frivolous, and one less point would inevitably be cold.

After introducing their cousin, Mrs. Ning fell on Ning Jinyun again, and when she looked at Ning Jinyun, who was dressed in a plain and elegant manner, she couldn't help frowning, as if she was a little puzzled.

But soon, the suspicion on Mrs. Ning's face disappeared, replaced by a satisfied look, she spoke, "Next to Hua'er is Yun'er, Yun'er is one year older than Rao'er, the second lady in the family, and the one on Yun'er's right is the youngest Yao'er, the four sisters are very gentle and approachable, I think you will get along very well with each other, especially with Hua'er and Rao'er." ”

Then, Old Lady Ning smiled again, "Yuan Jing, Yuan Qian, you two are new to the city, if you feel that there is something inappropriate, and it is inconvenient to talk to the elders, you can go to Hua'er and Rao'er, you are cousins, you are very close, there is nothing you can't say." Also, there are no boys of the same age as the two of you in Ningfu, if you are bored, you can also go to Hua'er and Rao'er to chat and play chess, you haven't seen each other for many years, and it's time to catch up more. ”

Li Yuanqian was respectful and replied in a low voice, "Our two brothers have come to your mansion as guests, and we have your hospitality, and everything is at your disposal." ”

After listening to her grandmother's words, Ning Jinyun couldn't help but feel panicked, and her grandmother's tone was eager, one "Hua'er" and one "Rao'er", it seemed that she wanted the two sons of the Li family and their two sisters to get together more. This sounds not only like a careful and thoughtful instruction to the guests, but rather a little anxious to introduce the granddaughter to be married.

She shook her head helplessly, sighed, and inadvertently raised her eyes, but unexpectedly met Li Yuanjing's blazing gaze. He had noticed her since she had begun to look down in contemplation, but she had not been aware of it.

Looking at Li Yuanjing's eyes with a slight smile, Ning Jinyun's heart suddenly sank, and he had an ominous premonition. All the misfortunes that happened to her in her previous life began with this ambiguous gaze......
