The ridicule in his ears did not stop, although Xie Ning was indifferent on his face, he couldn't help but care in his heart. Unlike this group of pampered noblewomen, she was born in Shudi, grew up in the military camp, faced sergeant drills every day, worried and fearful of the Miao people attacking the city, when survival has become a problem, who has the heart to think about what tricks?

Since she was sensible, she has followed her father to practice martial arts, as for these things, she has never learned them, so naturally she will not.

"It's not funny at all."

The sleeve was gently pulled, Xie Ning turned his head to look, and standing beside him was Wei Tingcheng with a small face on his back. Knowing that this little girl was comforting herself, Xie Ning suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, her tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed, and the unpleasantness that had accumulated day by day was gone.

"yes," Shainin grinned, "they're boring, so they think it's ridiculous." ”

"Hmm." Wei Qingcheng whispered, afraid that Xie Ning wouldn't see it, so he nodded deliberately.

The noise in front lasted for a quarter of an hour before slowly subsided, Gao Yiyan was still dissatisfied, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xie Ning and Wei Qingcheng, her heart was even more angry, her eyes rolled, she held the paper presented by Xie Ning in her hand, and asked in a loud voice from a long distance: "I don't know what my cousin is drawing on the paper?" Forgive me for being so clumsy that I can't tell the difference. ”

Everyone's eyes focused for a moment, falling on the figure in the red shirt and green dress in the hall. This cousin Xie Ning of the Jingyang Marquis Mansion is incompatible with these noble ladies in Beijing. The unaesthetic dress, the shoddy clothing, the unstriking face, and the appearance of no ink on the chest really make people despise.

I heard that he came from Shudi, and his father was still a five-grade official, so he taught his daughter to look like this. I don't know how those people survived that kind of desolate place.

Disdain to disdain, but their words of ridicule for Xie Ning have not diminished at all, don't you see that Gao Yiyan of her own family has spoken, everyone has no scruples, and they speak out one after another.

"I thought Miss Xie had a lot of ability, and she was embarrassed to take it out when she painted it like this."

"It's just, not ashamed."

"If I were her, I would definitely have no face to lie here, and I would have run home a long time ago."

Xie Ning had already moved forward without a trace, because she didn't want Wei Qingcheng, a little girl, to be implicated by her and despised by others. When the hall returned to silence, she responded with a look of good drama on everyone's face, her words were humble, but there was no contempt in her words.

"That's what I painted. The little girl is not good at painting, which makes everyone laugh. ”

She landed with a word, in exchange for two or three puzzled, two or three rolled eyes, and two or three were impressed.

Gao Yiyan saw that everyone's expressions changed, and she became bored for no reason. This dirt bun will find an excuse to cover up, the two families are related, she knows best that Xie Ning is fine, not only is her painting skills not good, but she obviously doesn't know everything.

"Heh," Gao Yiyan let out a sneer, and was about to expose Xie Ning's old bottom. There was a rush of footsteps at the door, drawing everyone's attention.

Pushing the door into was Gao Yiyao, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang, she walked in a hurry, didn't bother to greet everyone, her eyes first scanned in a room of warblers and swallows, as if she was not looking for anyone, and frowned.

"Second sister," Gao Yiyan walked over slowly, in stark contrast to her sister. I saw her greet her with a smile and lightly hold Gao Yiyao's arm, "Didn't you play chess with your eldest brother in the front yard, why did you run back after such a long time." Could it be that the eldest brother's chess skills have grown again? ”

I don't know what others think, Xie Ning looked at the scene in front of him, and felt that it was ridiculous. Her cousin is a sharp character, and it's just an outsider to herself, how can she be pressed against her own sister?

Xie Ning raised his spirit and looked at it intently, wondering how she, Cousin Yao, would deal with it.

Staying with Gao Yiyan every day, if there is a way to cure her preference for comparison, Xie Ning's ears can be much quieter, which is more conducive to her doing her own thing.

"The fourth sister is talking nonsense again," Gao Yiyao smiled gently, stretched out her hand and touched her sister's head, looking like an ignorant child, avoiding answering her questions, and said to herself:

"There is a guest in the front yard, it is Miss Wei's brother, and the eldest brother specially ordered me to take Miss Wei over."

Listening to her explanation, everyone couldn't help but have a few different thoughts, but they were guests at another house at the moment, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to go.

Wei Tingcheng was named, knowing that he was going to see her brother, and immediately walked towards Gao Yiyao. The latter found the main owner from a remote corner, only to see that the smile on her face did not fade but increased, and with a glance from the corner of her eye, she swept to Xie Ning who was standing nearby, and her heart moved, and she added, "Cousin Xie should go with her." ”

This cousin has always ignored Shainin, and it seems that there are not many people in the family who have nothing to do with her. At this time, she was suddenly asked to go to the front yard, it was impossible to say that Xie Ning was not strange in his heart. When she looked up, the first thing she touched was not Gao Yiyao's cold eyes, but Wei Tingcheng's slightly happy gaze.

couldn't guess her intentions, Xie Ning had to secretly comfort herself, her cousin's appearance, but she wouldn't stay here and be ridiculed anymore.

Without being distracted to listen to the discussion of the people in the room, she silently followed the two out of the flower hall.

The three of them walked all the way from Yanxin Courtyard, through the inner courtyard garden, and then through a nine-song corridor, they arrived at the outer courtyard. Gao Yiyao didn't need anyone to lead the way, turned left and right, and led them to a pavilion.

Wei Tingcheng's eyes lit up, he crossed Gao Yiyao in front of him, approached the pavilion first, and shouted in a rare voice, "Brother! ”

Seeing this situation, Xie Ning couldn't help but smile helplessly. Wei Qingcheng is obviously a very standard official lady, but those small actions on her body always give her illusions, so that she can't help but want to get close to this cute and shy little girl.

The man sitting at the stone table in the pavilion got up when he heard the sound, and looked at his sister who was almost rushing over, his eyes were full of pampering, and he did not have the slightest reproach.

Wei Tingcheng was held by her brother's hand, and as soon as she stood still, she turned around seriously and introduced softly:

"Brother, these are the two sisters I have met today. Sister Gao—"

"The little woman Gao Yiyao has seen Wei Gongzi." This voice was as delicate as a hundred spirits, as graceful as a yellow bird, it was Gao Yiyao who took Wei Qingcheng's words without abruptness, and Ying Ying bent her knees and saluted the man. After the sound falls, it is all at the same time.

Isn't it enough to nod your head? Her move was clearly deliberate, Wei Tingcheng couldn't help but feel depressed, and his tone unconsciously took a little heaviness, "This is Sister Xie." ”

Xie Ning didn't see the doorway, she was new to the city, and she didn't know the etiquette in Beijing, but she had already paid attention to Gao Yiyao's behavior, and when Wei Xiaomei mentioned her to her brother, she spontaneously followed her cousin's example and bowed.

"Little girl Xie Ning, I've seen Wei Gongzi."

"Flutter-"

A short but slight laugh came, Xie Ning looked at Wei Qingcheng inexplicably, the latter's mood had already turned cloudy, and said happily: "Sister Xie, hurry up." ”
