Chapter 31: Encounter
The turmoil of this matter gradually passed, and Mrs. Ning's mood calmed down a lot, she sent someone to send a box of kumquat and a box of longan to the Red Peony Academy, and privately gave Ning Jinyun two pairs of golden hairpins and some personal money, and also said a good word of comfort to appease Ning Jinyun.

After all, Ning Jinyun suffered a lot of grievances because of Zhang Fulai's troubles, and Mrs. Ning was more or less responsible, how could she do something to make up for her granddaughter and maintain her image as a good grandmother.
Ning Jinyun was naturally disdainful of these, and after she returned to the Red Peony Courtyard, she gave all the kumquat and longan sent by her grandmother to her subordinates, and she didn't even look at it.
After Qing Yun found out, she couldn't help muttering a few more words, and asked, "Miss, these fruits are not available on the market now, why did you divide them out and not leave a little to eat?" ”
Ning Jinyun replied, "There is nothing to keep, kumquat and longan are not supposed to be in this season, of course they are not sold on the market, these fruits are carefully preserved last year, although they can be eaten, but they are not fresh after all, who wants them?" She paused, and then continued, "By the way, you put the golden hairpin given by your grandmother into the warehouse for a while, this golden hairpin is bright and dazzling, ugly and cheesy, I won't wear it anyway, and I will use it to give it away later." ”
Qingyun saw her thoughts, so she immediately took the hairpin out, so as not to upset her by putting it in the house again.
What made Ning Jinyun even more upset was one more thing. Now that everyone knows that her wind and cold have healed, then she can no longer pretend to be sick and not leave the house, so it is inevitable that she will meet Li Yuanjing in the future, which is too difficult for her.
As the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, and it's not a way to hide all the time, Ning Jinyun knows that he always has to take this step.
Two days later.
Early in the morning, Ning Jinyun went to Qixiang Courtyard to greet his grandmother. The Ning family has always paid attention to the rules, and it is indispensable to save money in the morning and dusk, unless they are unwell or not at home, otherwise all the juniors must ask Mrs. Ning for peace on time.
After asking for peace, Ning Jinyun saw two tall figures in the distance on the way back. Looking at this figure, who else could there be besides Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian?
Ning Jinyun's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid them, she looked around, and the surroundings were empty, only an apricot tree stood alone next to the stone road.
She couldn't care so much, so she could only walk quickly and hide behind the almond tree.
After a while, the two brothers of the Li family walked over, the two of them side by side, their steps were not fast or slow, and occasionally they would talk in a low voice, looking at the direction they were walking, it was obvious that they were also going to Qixiang Temple.
The breeze blew gently, the leaves on the apricot trees rustled by the wind, and the corners of Li Yuanjing's navy blue clothes were also blown up, revealing the extremely delicate gold thread embroidered on his trouser legs.
When they walked to the corner in front of the verandah, Li Yuanjing patted Li Yuanqian's shoulder and asked his younger brother to take a step first, while he himself turned back, stared at the apricot tree with a smile, and walked straight over.
Seeing this, Ning Jinyun was a little surprised, she hurriedly put away the blue skirt on her body, turned sideways, and stood motionless, not daring to come out.
Li Yuanjing took two more steps forward, then stopped, and said, "Is it Miss Ning Er in front?" ”
Still seen by him! Ning Jinyun sighed in his heart, eager to find a hole in the ground and get into it immediately!
After Li Yuanjing asked twice, Ning Jinyun reluctantly moved his steps and walked out from behind the tree in embarrassment.
As soon as she saw Li Yuanjing, Ning Jinyun's eyes couldn't help but dodge a little, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "I've seen Li Gongzi...... I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Li Yuanjing didn't care about her embarrassment, approached her kindly, and said with a smile, "Yuan Qian and I were about to meet the old lady, and we happened to pass by here, what about you, the second miss, why are you standing behind the tree, but who are you waiting for?" ”
"I ...... I had just come out of Kaisho-in, but as soon as I touched my wrist, I noticed that my bracelet was missing, so I thought that it might have fallen on the road, so I planned to look for it around here. Ning Jinyun hurriedly made up a nonsense and fooled the past.
Li Yuanjing nodded thoughtfully, "So that's the case, I don't know if the bracelet that the second lady lost is a silver bracelet or a jade bracelet, can there be a unique pattern on it?" Or I'll help you find it here, maybe you'll find it. ”
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun was stunned for a moment, it was too late to hide from him, how could he ask him to help him find a bracelet that didn't exist in the first place?
She hurriedly waved her hand and politely refused, "Don't bother, I've been looking for it for a while and haven't found it, maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I didn't lose it here." Actually, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary silver bracelet, and if it's gone, it's gone. ”
Without waiting for Li Yuanjing to reply, Ning Jinyun continued: "Li Gongzi, you came here so early to greet your grandmother, then you better go quickly, I won't delay your time here, go slowly." ”
After saying that, she turned around with her head down, anxious to leave the place.
"Second Miss, wait a minute."
But Li Yuanjing, who was behind her, stopped her again uninterestingly.
Ning Jinyun's feet froze, and he had to turn around, "Is there anything else?" ”
Li Yuanjing hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly, and said softly, "It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you, you don't have to always call me "Li Gongzi Li Gongzi" in the future, it sounds weird, since you and my two cousins are sisters, then you can also call me cousin like them." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ning Jinyun's face suddenly darkened. In his previous life, Li Yuanjing used this way to get close to her, and now when they meet again, he still uses the same method, but she will not be fooled again.
Who rarely wants a cousin who doesn't have a good heart?
She didn't think about it, and immediately refused: "There is no cousin relationship between me and Li Gongzi, so it's not in accordance with the rules to call me cousin." Although I am half-sisters with my eldest sister and third sister, they are still different, they are them, I am me, and I naturally don't need to follow them to recognize relatives. Her tone was very cold, vaguely mixed with a bit of displeasure.
Li Yuanjing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed after hearing this, he laughed dryly twice, and replied, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want you to be too polite, but if you don't want to, that's fine." ”
He heard the unhappiness in Ning Jinyun's words, but he didn't think much about it, only because he mentioned Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, which made Ning Jinyun unhappy.
He knew that the second Miss Ning in front of him had a very bad relationship with his aunt and cousin.
