Ningxia Qing took Cuiyu and Shuangxi into the carriage, Ningxia Qing raised Shuangxi's fat face, looked left and right carefully, and asked seriously: "Does the wound still hurt?" ”

Shuangxi shook his head and said humbly: "It's just a small injury, I have thick skin, and I used to scrape and rub when I was at home, and this little injury doesn't hurt." ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed, looked at Shuangxi's face again, and then looked at the white porcelain bottle with landscape paintings in Shuangxi's hand, and said, "You have to apply the medicine well, otherwise, if you fall into a scar, it will be broken." ”

Shuangxi blinked and said, "It's okay, I'm ugly anyway." ”

"Silly boy, where are you ugly...... Ningxia Qing said angrily, and flicked Shuangxi's messy hair, thinking that children just love to move, Zi'er is the same as Shuangxi, her hair is always messy. However, if you remove the messy hair that Shuangxi is blocking her face, you can see that Shuangxi will be a good-looking girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes when she grows up.

Shuangxi didn't want to think about it and said: "Compared with the second girl, I will be ugly, so I will be fine if I break my appearance, fortunately, Miss Li did not scratch the second girl......"

Ningxia Qingzheng said: "You are not allowed to say such things, and you can't scratch them." You still have to apply this medicine well, and you can't be lazy and don't apply it, do you hear it? ”

Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, nodded stupidly, looked at the hexagonal square bag in his hand, as well as the glass bracelet and brocade silk flower in the square bag, suddenly thought of something, handed the whole square bag to Cuiyu, and said: "This is for Sister Cuiyu, this silk flower is beautiful, Sister Jade is just right to wear." ”

Cuiyu hurriedly waved her hand, half funny and half jokingly said to Shuangxi: "This is specially rewarded to you by Mrs. Gu, it is a reward for your courage to protect the second girl, if I take it, the eldest girl will definitely pick my skin ......."

Shuangxi was really frightened, looked at Ning Xia Qing, and whispered: "Big girl, I want to give this to Sister Cuiyu, I want to give it, not Sister Cuiyu robbed it, don't blame Sister Cuiyu, okay?" ”

Glancing at Cuiyu who was smiling and bending over, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but say angrily to Cuiyu: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll pick your skin now!" ”

Ning Xia Qing touched Shuangxi's hand and said comfortingly: "This is a reward for you, you must keep it yourself." This glass bracelet, you keep it to play. As for this silk flower, you don't need it now, wait for two years to wear it, or later, when you need help from others, it's okay to give this silk flower to others as a favor, understand? ”

"Hmm." Shuangxi nodded a little as if he didn't understand, thought about it and said, "Then I'll keep it as a favor." ”

Cuiyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you want to wear it yourself, kid?" ”

Shuangxi didn't think about it, so he smiled and said, "I'm not good-looking, what are you doing with silk flowers?" ”

Ningxia Qing said angrily: "Who said you are not good-looking." ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced at the clothes on Shuangxi's body, and said to herself: "In order to hold a funeral for my father, my grandmother, mother, me and Zi'er did not add new clothes during the Chinese New Year. The three of us adults don't care, it's just that Zi'er is still young, and it is the time to grow in size, if we don't add new clothes, I'm afraid we won't have to wear them in a few months. ”

Ning Xia Qing said to Cuiyu: "You remember to remind me that when you have time, go pick up materials and cut new clothes for Zi'er." He looked at Shuangxi again and said, "When you cut new clothes for Zi'er, by the way, you can also cut a few clothes for Shuangxi." ”

Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "I'...... I don't use it...... I have enough clothes to wear......"

Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "When a girl grows up to a certain age, she should know that she loves beauty, and you have to be almost old enough to learn to dress up." ”

Shuangxi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly coughed to cover up the past, and said, "Big girl...... It's so nice to treat me...... None of my parents at home treated me like that......"

Ning Xia Qing touched Shuangxi's head distressedly and said, "You can recuperate at home in the next few days, and the second girl has Cuizhi with her, so you don't have to worry about it." Ningxia Qing said to Cuiyu again: "Also, remember to remind me that when I have time, call Ya Po to come over, and then pick a few little maids for Zi'er, so that Shuangxi will not be so tired in the future." ”

Shuangxi was stupid, Cuiyu hurriedly poked Shuangxi's arm and said, "Look how good our eldest girl is to you." ”

"Thank you, big girl......" Shuangxi said silly, bowing her head shyly.

Ning Xia Qing touched Shuangxi's head melon seeds lovingly, and was glad that she still had some ability, so that Zi'er could live her current life without having to work as hard as Shuangxi, perhaps out of the natural protection of children, Ningxia Qing only wanted to take good care of Shuangxi in the future.

It was here that the carriage turned, the curtain naturally shook slightly, and a familiar smell wafted in.

"Stop." Ning Xia Qing suddenly spoke, and Ah Zheng immediately took the reins.

Ningxia Qing lifted the curtain and looked out, and the signboard that read "Tong's Pickle Shop" came into view.

In an instant, Ningxia Qing had mixed feelings.

In the previous life, it was probably at this time that Tong's pickle shop opened here.

Tong's pickle shop has a very good taste, and business has been booming since the beginning of its opening, with groups of people lining up here every day, and no matter what time of year you come here, there is always a long queue in front of the small shop.

In the beginning, people often had to come early in order to buy things from Tong's pickle shop, otherwise there would often be a long queue and they would be sold out before it was their turn.

Later, Tong's pickle shop had to stipulate that each person could only buy one catty, and if you wanted to buy more, you need to queue up again, so as to avoid some customers queuing hard and returning empty-handed.

Because there is always a long queue in front of this small shop, no matter who passes by here, they can't help but be attracted by this spectacular procession, and therefore remember this particularly popular shop.

Later, Tong's pickle shop even became an iconic location, so that many people who don't like pickled products and have never bought anything here will directly ask for "the shop with a long queue every day" when they make an appointment with someone.

Candied golden jujube is one of the signboards of Tong's pickle shop.

Even Tan Wenshi's picky mouth likes this family's candied golden dates.

So in her previous life, she had tried her best to make friends in every possible way, and only then did she ask the owner of the pickle shop to learn the recipe for candied golden dates that was not passed down.

Cuiyu helped Ningxia Qing get out of the car, standing at the door of the pickle shop at the same time, Cuiyu sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen this shop before, it should be newly opened, but this business is so good, it seems that it must taste great." ”

Ning Ningqing stood here calmly and said softly, "Yes, it must taste good." ”

Cuiyu asked, "Girl, do we want to buy some?" ”

Ning Xia Qing pondered for a moment, remembering that he had been too busy to cook with Zi'er recently, and it would be good if he bought some candied golden dates and went back to Zi'er, so he nodded and joined the long line in front of the pickle shop.

When it came to her, she asked the guy to weigh a pound of candied golden dates, and asked, "Is Boss Tong here?" "She had a good relationship with Boss Tong in her previous life, and now that she meets again, she naturally wants to meet her.

The young man replied, "Our boss is not here, and we are going to buy goods today." Does the girl know our boss? Is there something to do with our boss? ”

Ning Xia Qing was slightly disappointed, so she had to smile and say calmly: "Actually...... I don't know your boss. Just because it smells good, I know that the boss must be a clever person, so I want to meet him. Since the boss is not here, I will come back another day. ”

The guy smiled and said, "The boss is my sister, the girl can like my sister's handiwork, I ...... I thank you on behalf of my sister! ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled silently, paid the money, turned around and left the shop, Cuiyu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why does the girl care so much about the owner of this pickle shop?" Yes...... It's a little weird. ”

Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "What's so strange, I admire the boss's craftsmanship in my heart, so I just want to get to know him." Suddenly, she felt Jade's footsteps stop.

Ning Xia Qing turned his head and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Why didn't you leave all of a sudden? ”

Cuiyu rubbed her eyes and stumbled and said, "Girl, I'm ...... I seem to see it...... Girl, look over there......"

Looking at the jade with her gaze, it was the direction of Jiucheng Lane.

The reason why Jiucheng Lane is called "Lane" is mainly derived from the old name of the previous dynasty, and then in the past 100 years, Jiucheng Lane has long been expanded into a street that runs through the east and west and stretches for half a mile.

Here in Jiucheng Lane, there are many horse material shops, most of the dozens of shops under the hands of Master Ning San are opened here, and the shops under the hands of the patriarch of the Ning clan are also standing in half of Jiucheng Lane.

Because there are many material shops here in Jiucheng Lane, many people who buy materials will go straight here, and there are many styles here, which is convenient to shop around.

And because the guests like to come here, it attracts more traders who want to have their own foothold in Jiucheng Lane, and these merchants who are eager to enter Jiucheng Lane also include Ningxia Qing.

However, how can the businessmen who are already entrenched here want to see others take root here and take away their own business? As a result, the rent here has been speculated higher and higher, and with Ningxia Qing's current financial resources, he really can't afford the shops here in Jiucheng Lane.

Jade whispered, "Did the girl see it?" Is that Aunt Du? Am I mistaken? ”

Aunt Du had already entered the shop, looking at the door of the store where there was no longer Aunt Du's figure, Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "You read it right, it's Aunt Du." ”

Cuiyu frowned and asked, "Why did Aunt Du appear here?" I remember that Aunt Du was not going to offer incense to pray for the lord today? How did you get to Jiucheng Lane? ”

Cuiyu looked at it again and said, "Seeing that Aunt Du entered the material shop, could it be that she is here to buy materials?" Isn't it okay to buy materials directly in our shop? We're going to make her cheaper. She came here to buy materials, not only to run a little more, but also to spend more money, what is this picture? ”

Ning Xia Qing said softly: "Let's get into the carriage first and find a hidden place to see." ”

This is half an hour.

Ningxia Qing was not surprised. In her previous life, she had heard Tan Wenshi mention it as a joke that Miao Laosan was treated to death by his wife and brother-in-law, so he could only hide from his wife in fear to save private money, and used the money he saved to secretly buy some farm houses and shops outside.

She remembered that the shop that Aunt Du went into just now was one of Miao Laosan's shops.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the shop. Cuiyu looked at the man and suddenly said, "I remember that this person is not Aunt Du's younger brother?" ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and the door of the shop also opened from the inside, and Aunt Du welcomed her younger brother in, looking from this corner, she could see that there was a corner of the man's robe in the shop. Ning Ningqing knew that there was no need to watch it anymore, so he softly instructed Ah Zheng: "Go home." ”

The carriage began to drive away from Jiucheng Lane steadily, and Ning Xia Qing whispered to the puzzled Jade and the confused and ignorant Shuangxi: "None of you are allowed to say anything about today's incident in Jiucheng Lane, and you can't leak any rumors, do you know?" ”

Shuangxi nodded stupidly, and Jade looked unwilling and confused at any time, but she also nodded obediently.

The carriage returned to Xu Ning Street, and the first thing Ning Xia Qing did after returning home was to go to the old lady and talk back to Cao.

Ningxia Qing told the old lady and the Cao family about the matter in the Gu Mansion, and the two elders put their minds at ease, and the old lady couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the old woman felt so sorry for Zi'er, not only did she blame Zi'er, but she also raised her double happiness like this, alas, I am really grateful to her this time......

Ning Ningqing poured the pound of candied golden dates into a big bowl and stored them, and said: "By the way, grandma, Mrs. Gu also said that you should go to Gu Mansion to see her when you are free, and said that you must go, I asked her what was the matter, and she didn't tell me." ”

Old Mrs. Ning couldn't help but be stunned: "She has something to find me?" Won't tell you what's going on? ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and Cao couldn't help but worry about it: "Could it be Zi'er's business...... Old lady Gu was worried about the face of the Ning family, and she was embarrassed to blame Zi'er in person, but she wanted to ask the old lady to come over and talk about it again? ”

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly said: "I don't think it will be like this. If Mrs. Gu really felt that there was still a need to talk about this matter, she would directly erase this matter, and then invite her grandmother to come over to see her, why would she be so happy in front of so many people? She really didn't have to. ”

Cao's face softened at this time, and the old lady nodded and said, "Qing'er is reasonable. However, then I don't understand, apart from Zi'er's matter, what else can make the old woman have to rush to see me? ”

Cao Shi said to Mrs. Ning from the side, "Maybe Mrs. Gu just misses you." ”

Ning Xia Qing also nodded, and said to Mrs. Ning while thinking, "I also think it may be so." Every time I saw Mrs. Gu these few times, she said that you don't go to her or anything, and you just want to see you too much. ”
