Ning Jinyun's mother Lin left early, when she was less than three years old, Lin died of serious illness, and had to be separated from the young Ning Jinyun, and later, Ning Jinyun was taken by Aunt Wen, Aunt Wen treated her like a daughter, everything had to be considered for her, and even for her to swallow her anger and be bullied, so for Ning Jinyun, Aunt Wen was like her own mother, and she was the best person in the world to treat her.
Ning Shiyuan has a lot of wives and concubines, at least in Ning Jinyun's eyes, it is enough, in addition to the main room Lin who died early, he also married the strong Aunt Li, the weak Aunt Wen, and the drama Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Wen always looks gentle, treats everyone with a smile, treats each other with sincerity, is very gentle and virtuous, but Aunt Li is completely different, Li is a strong woman, her city is very deep, and her temperament is quite domineering, and she can always be ruthless at critical times, completely unsympathetic, to be precise, she only has her three children in her eyes, and she is indifferent to everyone else.
Sometimes, Ning Jinyun often thinks about how good it would be if the people in the Ning family were as kind as Aunt Wen, then her life would not have to be so difficult...... Now that she has returned to the Ning family, she has too many things to worry about and plan for.
Ning Jinyun stood in front of the bronze mirror, carefully looking at herself in the mirror, her fourteen-year-old body had not yet fully grown, she looked a little thin, and her chest was also flat, she was a lot smaller all of a sudden, and she couldn't fully adapt to it.
Even the clothes and makeup are a little difficult to start.
She originally wanted to wear only a light-colored dress with butterfly patterns, but after thinking about it for a while, she was afraid that her grandmother would feel that she was wearing less and catching a cold when she saw it, and in the end she would only blame Aunt Wen for not taking care of her carefully, so she had to wear an extra gold-threaded dark pattern cardigan gown, which looked a lot warmer.
Out of the door, the cool breeze was blowing slowly, Ning Jinyun retracted a pair of slender hands into her sleeves, and felt the coolness, it seemed that she had misestimated, although the weather was good at this time, but after all, it was still the middle of spring, and it was not yet time to wear only single clothes.
She didn't go out for three days, so naturally she didn't know what was going on outside.
Seeing this, Qingyun bent her eyes mischievously, looking proud, "Miss, you see that you are cold, you refuse to listen to the slave maid who asked you to put on a thick gown." ”
Indeed, before going out, Qingyun persuaded her not to wear the thin coat on her body, but she didn't care.
Ning Jinyun hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled shallowly, and replied jokingly, "If it weren't for the fear that my grandmother would care about what I was wearing, I wouldn't even want to wear this little coat on my body." ”
Qingyun stopped and sighed, "How can this work?" Your wind chill is just right, don't freeze anymore, the slave will go back and get you a coat. ”
With that, she lifted her feet and was about to walk back.
"Don't bother." Ning Jinyun called Qingyun softly, and shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, my hands are just a little cold, my body is not cold, let's go to my grandmother's place quickly, it's not too late, it's still too late to go and say goodbye." "She has to coax Mrs. Ning so that Aunt Wen will not be embarrassed.
Walk two steps forward, go out of the Red Peony Courtyard, pass through a delicate stone gate, and pass through a long verandah, and walk a long stone road to see the Qixiang Courtyard where Mrs. Ning lives.
Qixiang Courtyard is the largest and most magnificent courtyard in Ningfu, in addition to the main house, there are two sets of quite spacious wing rooms, twelve ear rooms, and two pavilions for enjoying the scenery and playing, the pavilion is built exquisitely, and it is deeply loved by Mrs. Ning. In the center of the courtyard, there is a quiet and beautiful pond water corridor, a large rockery with a unique style, a small flower garden, and a small stage in the southeast corner.
Ning Jinyun looked at the familiar Qixiang Palace in front of her, her nose couldn't help but be sour, she lowered her head and simply tidied up her clothes, wiped the moist corners of her eyes again, and then took Qingyun and walked in through the small door on the side.
There were two maids of the same height standing outside the door of the main room, and when they saw Ning Jinyun coming, they hurriedly saluted, and their voices were loud, "Second Miss!" ”
The breeze blew, and the green gourd-patterned bichicks on the two maids were gently blown up by the wind, revealing a dark gray lining.
Ning Jinyun looked ahead and walked straight in, ignoring them, if it was a change to the past, she would definitely smile and nod to them.
Maybe it's because she has always been too good that everyone has no fear of her, and even dares to help Aunt Li treat her badly, and now, she will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
When she walked into the Ming Hall, Ning Jinyun had already heard a lot of voices, all of which she was familiar with.
Soon, the brocade curtain was raised high by a little maid, Ning Jinyun paused, and then slowly walked into the inner room and saw the Ning family who had been separated for a long time.
Old Mrs. Ning was sitting in the inner corner of the big kang, talking and laughing with others, when she saw Ning Jinyun, the look on her face was momentarily stunned, but the next moment, she immediately put on a kind smile.
Ning Jinyun obediently stepped forward to greet him, and every action was done very standardly, in a proper manner, as if nothing had happened.
Old Mrs. Ning squinted her eyes kindly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were piled together, and she looked in a good mood, she said with a smile, "Yun'er, get up quickly, your body has not recovered yet, why rush to come over to say goodbye, looking at the grandmother is distressed." ”
Ning Jinyun got up slowly, lowered his eyes, and his attitude was very deferential, "Grandmother, my body is almost good, and it's not in the way." ”
She knows the old lady's temperament very well, if the old lady is happy, then everything will be done, but if the old lady has a temper, then it will inevitably be angry, and the Ning Mansion will have to be frightened.
Therefore, she had to follow the old lady's wishes, and go down little by little.
Ning Jinyun rolled her eyes, looked around, and saw the other people in the room clearly, Aunt Li and her two daughters, Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, were looking at it coldly, while the second wife was standing on the other side with a calm face.
Next to the second wife stood a girl with a bright smile, about twelve years old, wearing a pink ground makeup gauze python skirt, and a blue short coat on the upper body, when she smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, but she gave people a feeling of heartlessness, this person was her cousin, Ning Jinyao.
Ning Jinyun turned around and saluted the two elders again.
Old Mrs. Ning stroked the silver thread in front of her forehead and sighed softly, "Grandmother knows that you are a good child, you have always been the most sensible, even if you are sick, you don't forget to come to see your grandmother, good child." ”
Ning Jinyun smiled back.
"Grandmother has won the prize."
"Humph! I'm really good at pretending! Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded, and it sounded harsh, "What are you bringing illness to see the elders?" You're pretty good at pretending, and if you fall into the water, you can get a serious illness? As for being so squeamish! ”
You don't have to look at it, just listen to this mean voice and know that it is Aunt Li, Ning Jinyun's heart is filled with nausea.
She turned her head, her face turned cold, but her voice was extremely innocent, "Aunt Li, you can't say that, I have nothing to do pretending to be sick, this ...... You have wronged me, or you will fall into the river and try it, so that you will be frostbitten when you come back. ”
Her tone was a little helpless, and a little anxious, and she stammered to defend herself, and when she heard it, she was a wronged child.
Aunt Li's expression was grim, and she immediately rushed forward and raised her arm to slap her. There was a "pop", loud and crisp, and the room was quiet in an instant, Ning Jinyun watched the slap fall, but he didn't dodge, and the slap was solid.
"You dead girl, you dare to curse me to fall into the river, who gave you such guts!"
