Verse 131 is a blessing in disguise
Ning Cao and his entourage returned to Yiyanhou's Mansion.
When I arrived at the main courtyard, the kang was warm.
Mrs. Ning and other guards carried Ning Cao to the kang, so she came over in person, covered him with a thin quilt, and asked, "After passing through the snow all the way, does your leg hurt?" ”
As he spoke, he was going to cry again.
Ning Cao used to annoy her like this.
I cry at every turn, and I don't have any opinions.
Nowadays, there are so many favored concubines, but only this old wife has the most sincere tears.
"Sitting...... The sedan chair goes back and forth...... Where is the snow? Ning Cao's tongue was astringent, and he spoke hard, but he still answered his wife.
Mrs. Ning wiped her tears with a joyful smile.
Ning Cheng also stayed.
The others dispersed.
After a while, the maid came in and said that several aunts and several other young ladies and young masters had come to see Master Hou.
Ning Yuan's eyes widened, and she said, "Daddy just came back from outside, resting." Let them all go back, filial piety is not on this. ”
After speaking, I remembered that my father was still sitting on the kang, and when I turned around, I was going to scold her for being arrogant and presumptuous.
But now, can he still scold?
Ning Yuan smiled in her heart.
She turned around and asked Ning Cao, "Daddy, I went out to get them." Although I knew that Ning Cao was no longer terrible, I was a little apprehensive in my heart.
If she dared to speak in front of Ning Cao like this in the past, Ning Cao's teacup would have smashed over.
Ning Cao nodded slightly.
Ning Cheng was slightly surprised, and then ecstatic.
She went out and scolded her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, just treating them as subordinates.
Ning Cheng never thought they were family.
If it weren't for the fact that his father was deceived by them, and his mother was cowardly and useless, Ning Cheng would have driven out all these dry food things.
It's an eyesore to look at!
Everyone knew that she was ordered to come out and scold, and they didn't dare to talk back when they were angry, so they kowtowed to Ning Cao outside. He got up and took his leave.
Ning Cheng let out a big sigh and returned to the back room a little triumphantly.
Seeing his father on the kang, he hurriedly took it away proudly and said, "Daddy, I let them all disperse." ”
Ning Cao was inside, and she could hear Ning Yuan's scolding.
His tongue is astringent, but his ears are not deaf.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded.
Since he was ill, the family's favorite concubines and children. Except for his old wife, they all pretended to visit the sick. In fact, he was thinking about how to divide the property after he died.
Ning Cao's illness suddenly opened up a little more in his heart, and he understood people better.
Even Ning Cheng's filial piety has a bit of purpose.
She didn't want her father to die, she just wanted his father to be okay. She is a good person to regulate her brothers and sisters in the family fiercely, and make up for the old qi.
And the aunts all wanted to know what Ning Cao had left behind for them and their children.
“…… Return...... Let's go back. Ning Cao said to Ning Xu.
Ning Cheng also wanted to be closer to her father, so that she could take advantage of the situation to oppress others.
She was a little reluctant.
She stood still and said, "Daddy, let your daughter serve you here." He said. Tears also fell.
Ning Cao closed his eyes slightly.
Mrs. Ning hurriedly said, "You go quickly!" Your dad is tired and needs to rest for a while! Your filial piety is not above all this! ”
Ning Cheng sighed in her heart.
She's a mother, and she can't help at all.
Ning Cheng didn't dare to be stubborn any longer. Get up and salute your father, and go out.
"Sister Ming'er......" Ning Cao said suddenly.
Ning Yuan hurriedly turned around, said yes softly, and called Daddy.
“…… You...... You go and call the third ...... The third aunt and ...... and Luo Steward to ......" Ning Cao said very slowly.
Ning Cheng's face changed slightly.
In this house, she is most afraid of the third aunt.
Her brother Ning Xi is the eldest son. The third aunt gave birth to two sons, and she was more favored than Mrs. Ning when she was young. There's a lot going on in this house. Mrs. Ning can't control it, it's all the help of the third aunt.
I heard that Ning Cao's seals were handed over to the third aunt for safekeeping.
And the third aunt always looks elegant and light, and she is a little more graceful than Ning Cheng's mother, Mrs. Ning. Every time she saw the third aunt, Ning Cheng always had to find something, but the people were still calm.
Now the third aunt is almost forty.
Ning Cao didn't rest in Mrs. Ning's room for several years ago, but she had to go to the third aunt for three or five days every month.
This weight has already covered Mrs. Ning.
What are you looking for her to do at the moment?
Ning Cheng's hands were a little tight.
Ning Cao stared at her closely.
She didn't dare say anything and turned away.
After a while, the third aunt and Steward Luo came.
Steward Luo is the chief steward of the outer court of Yiyan Hou Mansion. Ning Cao didn't care about anything, so he handed over all the general affairs to Manager Luo.
Mr. Luo is a prostitute, I don't know who my biological father is, she has been in brothel casinos since she was a child, eating hundreds of meals, and wearing hundreds of clothes. I once stole something and was almost beaten to death by a street bully.
Ning Cao picked him up, changed his household registration for him, changed his name, and took him with him as a small servant.
Then, when Ning Cao was in charge, Manager Luo became the chief steward of the Ning family's outer courtyard.
He was most loyal.
And the third aunt, a person in her forties, has a skin that deceives frost and snow, although her eyes are a little crow's feet, her demeanor has not diminished back then.
As soon as she entered, her eyes were wet, and her bean-sized eyes fell.
Ning Cao looked at it, but she couldn't feel the sourness in her eyes. It's like her tears, which are not worth much.
And Mrs. Ning's crying always made his heart very sour.
Maybe it's because of my own life, I love the third aunt very much, and I don't feel ashamed; And feel guilty about your old wife, right?
“…… My Seal...... You take it out and give it to Madame......" Ning Cao said, and then looked at Manager Luo, "You go and get it." ”
When Ning Cheng heard this, she only cried with joy.
Originally...... It turned out that my father had come to his senses, and he was no longer bewitched by this woman, and he wanted to take the seal back and give it to his mother.
Even if her father went suddenly, the third aunt could only be at the disposal of her mother like other aunts.
When the time comes, Ning Cheng wants them to look good one by one.
When the third aunt heard this, she cried slightly.
Then, the tears could not fall again.
She glanced at Ning Cao.
Ning Cao's eyes widened, and there was a warning in his eyes.
The third aunt knelt down and said yes.
Mr. Luo also said yes. followed the third aunt out of the door of the main courtyard.
Only then did the third aunt cry and said to Mr. Luo: "Master Hou is sick like this, I'm just afraid that I will be delirious." The slave remembered that the Hou Ye always said that the lady was timid and soft-eared, and wherever the seal was put in her, she was afraid that the people in the family would be able to deceive her. You are the first person next to Hou Ye, you should persuade Hou Ye to be ......"
Manager Luo said lukewarmly: "What does Master Hou order, my aunt and grandmother just copy it!" ”
blocked the words of the third aunt back.
In this mansion, Manager Luo is only sincere to Ning Cao alone, and he doesn't care about anyone else. It's a cold-faced and cold-hearted one.
The third aunt tried it, but it didn't work, so she didn't say anything more.
Wait for Hou Ye to recuperate for another three or five months. All of them are better, and naturally they can't leave her body. When the time comes, if you say a few good words, the things will come back, why make trouble in Hou Ye's illness and chill Hou Ye's heart?
This time. The more others jump, the more docile and virtuous the third aunt should be.
She didn't say a word, and handed the seal to Manager Luo.
Mr. Luo took it home and handed it to Mrs. Ning.
Ning Cao's hand trembled, and he took Mrs. Ning's hand: "...... You keep it...... I...... If I went...... In this family, you and Xi Ge'er are in charge......"
Mrs. Ning threw away the seal. cried: "If Master Hou goes, I will go too!" I don't want this Rausch! ”
Ning Cheng was beside her, only to vomit blood in anger.
Mother. Don't you have a time in your life when you understand?
You should not do it for yourself, but also for the eldest brother, me and the sixth brother!
Mr. Luo watched from the side, this cold-faced and cold-hearted man, his eyes flashed slightly.
He was very touched by Mrs. Ning.
Marquis Ning's wives and concubines were in groups, and only Mrs. Ning did not ask for it.
Why wasn't Ning Cao moved?
He saw Mrs. Ning crying again. Then he said to his daughter, who was standing on the ground, "...... Help your mother collect ...... Put it away..."
Ning Cheng was ecstatic in her heart, but she also understood her father's thoughts.
She also knelt down. He cried and said, "Daddy, if you go, we'll go with you." What do you want this thing for? ”
Mother and daughter cried.
In the end, it was Ning Cheng who helped Mrs. Ning put it away.
The next day, Ning Cao remembered that there were four aunts in the house who had never given birth, and it was an eyesore to keep them at home, so it was better to simply send them out.
Mrs. Ning naturally disagreed: "Yuqing's house has a group of wives and concubines. How do you get people up? If this is against you, what is good? It's not that I can't afford to raise ......."
Ning Cao felt more and more that this wife was of high quality.
She is not only cowardly, but has a clean and loving heart.
Ning Cao should be damned, he can pick up this half life, who knows if God is looking at Mrs. Ning?
The more he respected Mrs. Ning in his heart.
I used to like the weakness and uselessness of her character, but now I think it's commendable.
I also remembered that the cause of my illness was indulgence.
Those aunts in the house are the objects of his indulgence.
And so those people became more and more hateful.
When his aunt and concubines came to say goodbye, he was gone. My heart also calmed down, and I listened to Mrs. Ning tell him some trivial things every day, sometimes reciting a Buddhist scripture, sometimes reading some books.
Ning Cao felt that in his life, it was really quiet and peaceful at this moment.
He would rather have this leg wasted, like this all day long, quietly mixed to death.
The flowers on the outside are red and willow green, and suddenly they become meaningless.
Ning Cheng then heard what her mother had done, and she vomited blood again.
What a good opportunity, to get rid of all the witches, why do you leave them to eat and drink spicy food in the house?
But her mother is a first-class virtuous person in this world!
Ning Cheng felt that her mother was hopeless, and she could only rely on herself.
The days went by slowly, and it was October 20.
Ning Cao's right leg couldn't move, but his hand was becoming more and more flexible, and his tongue was becoming more and more flexible.
He can speak normally, and he can walk slowly around the house with a cane.
When she got up early in the morning, Mrs. Ning supported him, walked from the back room to the east room, and then to the main hall.
The little guy in the outer courtyard suddenly came in and said, "Master Hou, the eldest young master has come back from Luzhou!" ”
Ning Cao was slightly surprised.
The son was a commander in the Luyang Palace in Luzhou, Anhui Province, why did he suddenly come back?
The king of Luyang is still in Beijing, what about the military affairs of Luzhou?
Ning Cao faintly felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Mrs. Ning burst into tears: "Quick, please come in!" ”
She hadn't seen her son for almost five years, and her eyes were glazed with anticipation!
