At noon, according to the custom, they were going to Qixiang Courtyard for dinner, and by the time Ning Jinyun and Aunt Wen passed, everyone else had basically arrived, only Ning Shiyi, the third master, had not yet come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Aunt Li saw them coming, she snorted sharply, "Yo, you can be regarded as coming, you are the latest to come to every family banquet, and it is really late for Shanshan, I don't know what kind of distinguished guest I thought." ”

Ning Jinyun glanced at the Li family, but did not reply, today is the Chinese New Year, she doesn't want to quarrel with the Li family, so as not to affect the mood and get bad luck.

But because she doesn't speak doesn't mean that others don't speak up.

The first person he couldn't get used to was Ning Shiyuan, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Jing, if you don't say a word, can you not be angry during the New Year, can't you let us stop having a meal." ”

Aunt Li looked at Ning Shiyuan, rolled her eyes, and turned her face away.

At this time, Mrs. Ning was also unhappy, she shouted in a low voice, "You have a lot of things to do every day, Li Jing, if you go out like this again, don't come to my yard to eat." ”

If it were usual, Aunt Li might have endured the scolding of Mrs. Ning, but today is different, when she thinks of Ning Jinhua, who is still eating alone in the Peony Courtyard, Aunt Li is angry.

She retorted, "Old lady, you said I could, and it was okay if you didn't let me come, but Hua'er is your granddaughter, how can you not let her participate in this banquet today, just because she was grounded, but this is also the New Year, can't you let her come out first?" ”

During the New Year, including Chinese New Year's Eve, Ning Jinhua was still grounded, and the old lady did not give her any affection, and she was still not allowed to go out of the yard and could not go anywhere.

Aunt Li begged many times, but was rejected by the old lady, and Aunt Li originally planned to take Ning Jinhua to Li's house to play for two days after the New Year, but the old lady did not allow it, which made Ning Jinhua feel sad.

Old Mrs. Ning glanced at Li, "Hua'er should be punished if she does something wrong, this is to make her remember it for a long time, so as not to do it again next time!" If you feel sorry for your daughter, go back to the Peony Courtyard to accompany Hua'er, I won't keep you. ”

Aunt Li's face was flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything more, she knew the old lady's temper, and she also saw the old lady's impatience with her, she didn't want to really offend the old lady, then their mother and daughter would not be able to gain a foothold in Ning Mansion in the future.

Seeing that she didn't dare to squeak anymore, Mrs. Ning said to Mother Qian, "Let the kitchen be ready, and we will have dinner when the third child comes." ”

After a while, Ning Shiyi's figure finally appeared in Qixiang Courtyard, as soon as the old lady saw him, her face was full of joy, although her little son didn't listen to her the most, but she still liked this little son the most.

Before eating, a table was set up in the Ming Hall, and a table was set up in the east room, men and women were to eat separately, and Mrs. Ning and the ladies sat down to eat in the east room.

Everyone sat down, but Ning Jinyao was standing on the ground, she looked at the second wife, "Mother, there is no seat." ”

It turned out that there were not enough seats, and there was just one missing.

The wife hurriedly said to the servant, "Go and add another chair." ”

Old Lady Ning waved her hand and stopped, "Don't add it, won't you squeeze here if you bring another chair?" Otherwise, Li Jing, you stand up and give Yao'er a seat, you can stand and eat for a while. ”

Aunt Li was very surprised and asked her to give Ning Jinyao a seat? What is this called, is it possible to let her eat standing during the New Year?

The second wife was a little embarrassed, she stood up, "No need, mother, Yao'er is still young, and it's okay to stand." ”

Old Mrs. Ning shook her head, "How can I let my child stand up and eat on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I am her own grandmother, I can't bear it, do you want Yao'er to see me in this house?" ”

As she spoke, she threw her gaze at Li, her eyes a little displeased.

Ning Jinyun saw that her grandmother was deliberately fixing Aunt Li, and it was probably also ordered by her grandmother to let the subordinates put one less chair and wait for this one.

Aunt Li was very unhappy, she had accumulated a lot of grievances and resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to attack, these bad emotions were staggered in her chest, making her more and more depressed and frustrated day by day.

She sneered, then stood up, "Yao'er, sit down, you can't let the old lady feel sorry for you, I'm an adult, standing for a while won't get in the way." ”

Seeing this, Old Lady Ning nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li with a smile. The second lady had no choice but to pull Ning Jinyao to sit down, anyone could see that the old lady was targeting the Li family, but she couldn't go against the old lady's thoughts.

During the banquet, Mrs. Ning either fed Ning Hao to eat, teased him to laugh and play, or chatted with Ning Jinyun for a few words, now in her heart, it is the little grandson who is the most painful, and among these granddaughters, only Ning Jinyun is obedient and sensible.

Xu was disgusted with Aunt Li, maybe because of Ning Jinyun, Mrs. Ning also gave Aunt Wen a good face for the first time, and said a few words to her, Aunt Wen felt flattered and behaved extremely respectfully, which made the old lady very satisfied.

Aunt Li watched the itching of hatred from the sidelines, when would even Aunt Wen's status be able to suppress her! This meal was simply difficult for her every minute, until her legs were sore, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks and said that she was full, found a small stool next to her and sat down, and rested for a while.

After eating, everyone dispersed, only Ning Shiyi was left by the old lady to talk for a while.

Ning Jinyun and Aunt Wen snuggled up to each other and returned to the Red Peony Courtyard, and on the way, the two of them whispered quietly.

"I was shocked by the old lady's attitude towards Aunt Li who was suddenly so bad." Aunt Wen muttered quietly.

Ning Jinyun smiled, "Maybe it's because of the third sister, I heard that for the sake of the third sister, Aunt Li and the eldest sister have a lot of complaints about their grandmother, anyway, don't care why, I'm happy to see Aunt Li's angry look." ”

Aunt Wen nodded Ning Jinyun's nose and quipped, "You, you know that it's useless to say this, and you're happy to see her angry?" Look at your little bit of talent. ”

Ning Jinyun muttered with a smile, "I'm just happy, but I'm not productive!" Just laugh at me. ”

When the two of them returned to the yard, a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping was being staged in the yard.

The maid Chun'e was holding a broom in her hand, glaring at Hong Ying angrily, and scolded, "You little cheap hoof, this is what the young lady and aunt want to eat at night, you dare to eat it secretly, see how I clean you up." ”

There was a circle around to watch the lively maids, and Hong Ying was hiding aggrievedly and retorted, "Sister Chun'e, I didn't steal food." ”

"You still don't admit it, it's really timid!" Chun'e said and waved the broom in her hand. (To be continued.) )
