After Aunt Zhao left, Ning Jinyun put her hands on her cheeks and lay on the table in a daze, she hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she naturally missed it very much. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If she remembered correctly, Ning Shiyuan would not be able to return to Qingzhou until half a year later, and in this half a year, there would be enough for many changes. She wanted her father to return sooner, but she still endured her thoughts, and wrote in the letter that everything was fine, and her father didn't need to worry, it was best to stay in the capital for a while, and then return to Qingzhou with her third uncle after the New Year.

The eldest and second masters of the Ning family, Ning Shiyuan and Ning Shibing, are now living in the capital, and they say that they are going to see the world and make friends with nobles, but in fact, they are nothing more than meeting some friends with wine and meat. In the end, it will not be of any benefit to Ning Mansion. Fortunately, Ning Shiyi, the third master of Ning, is an official in the court, and he can usually take care of his two elder brothers, so they will not lose their proportions too much, and in the end they are just scattered with silver, nothing serious.

What really worried Ning Jinyun was Ning Shiyuan's safety. In the memory of her previous life, Ning Shiyuan accidentally encountered a tragedy on the way home, and the whole person fell out of the carriage and was seriously injured before losing his vitality. And then within a few years, Ning Shiyuan couldn't stand it anymore and finally passed away.

Now Ning Jinyun's top priority is to stop Ning Shiyuan's original plan to return to Qingzhou in half a year, as long as he does not come back on the same day in his previous life, then this disaster can be avoided, Ning Shiyuan will not be injured, and his life will not be shortened because of this.

She wants her father to live safe and sound, as long as she can live safely, what does it matter if she meets later?

It just so happened that the third uncle Ning Shiyi was an official in the capital, and he could only go home during the Chinese New Year every year, so Ning Jinyun wrote most of the pages of paper under the pretext of coming back with the third uncle to have a good care, and asked Ning Shiyuan to come back later, and he must come back later.

Ning Shiyuan's temperament is a bit complicated and abnormal, he is an indecisive and slightly cowardly person, but occasionally he is more stubborn than anyone else and does some ridiculous things. He has always been unconcerned about family affairs, and he doesn't care much about his wife, concubines and children, but he is still attentive to Ning Jinyun, and he will listen to some of Ning Jinyun's words.

Since Ning Jinyun has sent a letter thousands of miles to tell him, presumably Ning Shiyuan will also listen to her, anyway, he is also infatuated with the bustling and lively life in the capital, and it is estimated that he will not be too anxious to return on time.

As for Mrs. Ning's side, it will not be too difficult to say, she has always doted on her youngest son Ning Shiyi the most, if she heard that the other two sons were going to accompany Ning Shiyi back home, so they would come back later, she would gladly accept it.

Ning Jinyun carefully sorted out the letters, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, now that she has the opportunity to protect her father, this is really a great thing, and it is also one of the greatest comforts for her to be reborn.

After lunch, Ning Jinyun asked Qingyun to send the letter to the outer courtyard, and the little maid there would send it properly to the capital. The outer courtyard and the inner courtyard are separated by a hanging flower door, but the errands that the people are responsible for are very different, the maids and women in the inner courtyard can serve the master closely, but the people in the outer courtyard are not allowed to step over the hanging flower door half a step, and can only do some work without too much oil and water.

Not long after Qingyun left, a maid came to Qixiang Courtyard to invite Ning Jinyun to come over, and this time Mrs. Ning called several of their sisters together, saying that there was something important to say.

Ning Jinyun could think with his toes that what his grandmother wanted to say this time must be related to the two brothers of the Li family.

It is estimated that the two of them are about to leave for Ningfu.

Ning Jinyun wore a blue and white cloud goose fine-grained brocade dress, as well as a flower-sprinkled plain pleated skirt, wore a string of red beads made of agate on her chest, and straightened her sideburns in front of the mirror.

Mrs. Ning pays attention to the women's dress, if anyone's outfit is a little sloppy, or the dress is not careful enough, then it will inevitably be reprimanded by her, after a long time, Ning Jinyun and they have learned to be well-behaved, and they all try to avoid making Mrs. Ning unhappy in this matter.

When they arrived at Qixiang Courtyard, the two maids outside the door blessed themselves as usual, and saluted her, "Second Miss, please come in." ”

It's just that there was a surprise in the eyes of the two maids, as if she had done something wrong, which made her a little puzzled.

It wasn't until after entering the house that Ning Jinyun knew that he was the last to arrive. Ning Jinyao didn't come over because she was so cold that she didn't want to go out, and Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao arrived a quarter of an hour ago, that is to say, everyone was waiting for her now, and they had been waiting for a while.

No wonder the maids at the door looked at her like that, it turned out that she was late, and she was a long time late.

After seeing Ning Jinyun, Mrs. Ning's face was a little unhappy, obviously because she came too late, and even after she said hello, Mrs. Ning didn't say anything, so she left her aside.

Ning Jinyun was secretly surprised, although she took a little time to dress up, but it was not so late, the Red Peony Courtyard and the Peony Courtyard were relatively close, it stands to reason that she should have been almost here with Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao. Could it be that someone deliberately delayed the time and came to inform her a little late?

She glanced back, and her eyes fell on the body of a maid beside the screen, this maid's name was Yunwen, who had just come to pass on the orders of her grandmother, she was wearing a purple-gray gown, and was standing with her eyebrows bowed, as if nothing had happened.

In a corner of the house, there is a red sandalwood carved inlaid luodian embroidered longevity word screen, the front of the screen is decorated with gold entwined branches and lotus patterns, the top is decorated with openwork dragon pattern bead pattern, the two sides of the lower skirt board are also embossed with double dragon longevity pattern, and the whole screen is inlaid with a circle of gilding, which looks both atmospheric and rich and exquisite. And the four girls standing in a row next to the screen are the envoys and maids who serve Mrs. Ning close by, and they have been waiting by Mrs. Ning's side for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will fight against people, thinking that they are a little noble.

After all, the complexity of people's hearts has nothing to do with the nobility of identity.

Ning Jinyun silently clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter accidentally spilled the tea and had to change her clothes again, so it was too late to delay and make grandmother wait for a long time, which really shouldn't be." ”

Hearing that she had admitted her mistake, Mrs. Ning said in a deep voice, "Don't get in the way, my old bones are still very tough, and you juniors won't have any problems after a while." ”

This is clearly not a good word.

Ning Jinyun couldn't say more, so he had to take two steps back and stand with the other two sisters. Ning Jinrao saw that she was ridiculed by her grandmother, she couldn't help but gloat, stared at her triumphantly, with a smile on her face, and almost said "I really deserve it". Ning Jinyun naturally didn't care about Ning Jinrao's provocation, she just lowered her head and thought about something.

Old Lady Ning cleared her throat and got down to business.

"I summoned you here today to tell you that the two sons of the Li family will come to be guests in two days, Hua Er Rao'er, the two of them are your cousins, and you also met when you were young. As a young lady of the Ning family, you must treat guests with courtesy, and you must not lose your courtesy, remember? ”
