CHAPTER XXXI

After talking to Ning Xia Qing, the Cao family went to find Mrs. Ning.

Ningxia Qing sent the Cao family to Mrs. Ning's courtyard and said, "Mother, I won't go in, you go and tell grandma." Ning Ningqing thought to himself, as a junior, it was still so difficult to advise Ning Yongda and the Cao family, if he went to advise Mrs. Ning, who had experienced a lifetime of ups and downs, I was afraid that Mrs. Ning would not believe it, and it would even backfire.

Cao Shi avoided Ning Ningqing's gaze and said, "I didn't plan for you to come with me to persuade the old lady, I went to tell the old lady that you take Zi'er to your room, don't let Zi'er be there." ”

Ningxia Qing was stunned, and the Cao family entered Mrs. Ning's house, and Ning Ningqing didn't think much about it, just called Zi'er and Shuangxi, and took Zi'er to practice calligraphy.

Cao Shi and Mrs. Ning talked for a long, long time, so long that Zi'er had written a few sheets, Zi'er proudly held up the one she had just written, and said happily: "Sister, look, am I writing well?" ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced at it and said quite lovingly: "Okay, Zi'er has improved a lot." ”

"Sister, do I have any rewards?"

"Have you learned to be rewarded? Okay, tell me, what reward do you want? ”

Zi'er tilted her little head: "I want to ...... Mung bean cake! ”

Ning Ningqing smiled and said, "I've already asked the kitchen to make mung bean cakes, you and Shuangxi will eat it in a while." However, before eating...... "Ningxia Qing held up the mirror in front of Zi'er and shook it, and said, "...... You've got to wash your face with ink first! Look at your face, really, it's for you to write on paper, not on your face. ”

Cuiyu had already come in with a basin of water, wiped Zi'er's face with a smile, and then called Shuangxi over, and when she saw Shuangxi, she couldn't help but "poof" Yile, and said, "Let you grind for the second girl, why did you get all over your face?" Did you play with the second girl? ”

Shuangxi's fat face turned red, and Jade wiped his face and hands. Seeing that Cuiyu had already packed up for Zi'er and Shuangxi, Ning Xia Qing whispered to Cuiyu: "You give Zi'er and Shuangxi to Ai Lu, and let Ai Lu take them to eat mung bean cake, and then you go to the old lady to have a look, my mother has been gone for so long, you go and see what the situation is?" ”

As soon as Cuiyu responded, she went out with Zi'er and Shuangxi, but it took a long time to come back, and her face was not very good when she came back.

Ningxia Qing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

Cuiyu whispered: "I waited for a long time at the gate of the old lady's courtyard, and I heard the sound of the old lady getting angry from inside, but I didn't hear what the old lady was saying. It was a long time before my wife came out, and when she came out, her eyes were red. ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where is Lan Ying?" Do you follow your mother? ”

Cuiyu shook her head and said, "Lan Ying and Chen Po have come out, and the old lady and Mrs. are talking alone." ”

Ning Xia Qing was very puzzled, and suddenly remembered that when he sent Cao to the old lady's yard, Cao said "I didn't plan for you to persuade the old lady with me", Ning Xia Qing felt a little strange when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it, and in retrospect at this moment, Cao's expression at that time seemed to be a little strange, and it seemed that he didn't dare to look at Ning Xia Qing.

Could it be that the Cao family planned to say something to the old lady that Ning Xia Qing couldn't hear, so he didn't plan to let Ning Xia Qing follow to persuade the old lady from the beginning?

What could it be? Ningxia Qing didn't know.

Ningxia Qing is the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and she is one of the few people who can talk to the Cao family, and it is almost impossible for the Cao family to hide from Ningxia Qing about the Cao family. Don't...... Is it something about Ning Yongda, and it is inconvenient for Cao to say it in front of Ning Ningqing?

Ning Ningqing was worried, so she had to quietly observe the movement outside the house.

That night, the food sent into Mrs. Ning's house was delivered almost untouched, obviously, what Cao and Mrs. Ning said was very serious, which would make Mrs. Ning anxious.

And Ningxia Qingzu waited for a day, Ning Yongda didn't go home until the evening, and as soon as Ning Yongda arrived home, he was called by Mrs. Chen's wife.

After a long time, Ning Yongda came out of Mrs. Ning's house, his face was dark, as if there was a cloud of sorrow lingering on Ning Yongda's head, Ning Yongda frowned, his eyebrows and eyes drooped.

Ning Ningqing watched as the sad Ning Yongda walked into Cao's room, his fingers slicing across the table in front of him, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and his temples rubbed.

Seeing Mrs. Ning, Ning Yongda and Cao's so worried, and Ning Ningqing couldn't share their worries for them, this made her scratch her heart and liver than all the difficulties in business.

Ning Xia Qing sniffled, rubbed her red eyes, wiped her face, calmed herself, and told herself that now was not the time to be sad. Then he picked up the pen and wrote the names of several yarns on the paper.

After the work of the court in the spring, Meigong County will follow the trend and raise a few yarn materials, if it is purchased now, it will be able to sell at a high price at that time, and several kinds of yarn materials will rise in a few years, since Ning Yongda wants to turn to mainly sell medium and inferior yarn materials, Ningxia Qing will definitely do his best to help Ning Yongda.

The next morning, when Ning Ningqing went to Cao's house, Ning Yongda had already gone to the shop.

Cao Shi sighed and whispered, "Your father has promised that he will not follow the ship." ”

Ningxia Qing saw that Cao's eyes were still a little red and swollen, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Mother, what's wrong?" Did Grandma lose her temper with you? Isn't Dad upset? ”

"It's fine, just a few ...... Some things that are not very good, Qing'er, don't ask, don't worry, my mother is fine, and my mother doesn't want you to worry about this matter. ”

Ningxia Qing was speechless.

Cao Shi smiled faintly and said, "But ah, it's okay if your father doesn't go." If he went, I would really be in suspense day and night. I know that your father wants to make the business in the shop better, but ah, I just hope that the family will be reunited and safe, even if the business is a little worse and the days are tighter, it doesn't matter. ”

Ningxia Qing lowered her eyes and pondered, in fact, why shouldn't she? She is a person who has died once, how can she still put wealth and glory in her eyes? For Ningxia Qing, nothing is more important than the safety of her family.

But it was precisely because Ning Xia Qing was a person who had died once, and because she had walked through the ghost gate, that she understood that if she only had compassion in her heart, she would not be able to escape the rain of swords and swords outside. If you can't hold power firmly in your own hands, you can only be slaughtered by others. Therefore, even if you can't bear it, you must take the steps that you should take.

Although Ning Yongda has been prevented from following the ship at the moment, it has not yet reached the time when Ning Yongda died in his previous life, as long as it is not that time, Ning Ningqing's heart will never be stable.

Put this matter aside for the time being, there is still something imminent at the moment, Ningxia Qing waited for a few days without moving, and finally waited for the east wind she wanted-Du Qiutong said that Du Zhengshuo was going out to follow the boat, and he might not be able to come back for a while, Du Qiutong wanted to go back to Du's house to see Du Zhengshuo off-Ningxia Qing immediately asked Ah Zheng to follow Du Qiutong quietly.

Ah Zhengtan heard that Du Qiutong didn't go to see Du Zhengshuo at all, and he didn't even enter the door of Du's house at all, so he directly got into Tan Wenshi's carriage waiting there, Tan Wenshi's carriage pulled Du Qiutong to wander on the street, and then sent Du Qiutong back to Du's house.

After that, Ah Zheng followed Tan Wenshi's carriage and followed him to Deputy Lieutenant Xue's mansion, Tan Wenshi entered Xue's mansion, and came out after a long time, and when he came out, he happened to meet Deputy Lieutenant Xue's daughter, and Tan Wenshi also chatted with the Xue girl.

Ning Xia Qing sneered slightly, Vice Lieutenant Xue's daughter ...... It must be Xue Qianqian.

Xue Qianqian is the daughter of Deputy Lieutenant Xue. Back then, after Tan Wenshi accumulated the initial capital with the help of Ningxia Qing, he turned to Vice Lieutenant Xue and carried Xue Qianqian into the door, because Xue Qianqian was the daughter of Deputy Lieutenant Xue, so Xue Qianqian's status was higher than that of other concubines, almost equal to his wife Ning Ningqing.

This Xue Qianqian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Xue Qianqian relies on her good background and is not willing to be a concubine, so she either provokes Ningxia Qing, or squeezes out other concubines to show that her identity is higher than them, among Tan Wenshi's concubines, this Xue Qianqian is the most headache for Ningxia Qing.

But what's interesting is that Tan Wenshi has a lot of concubines, and among these concubines, not only Xue Qianqian is restless, but Du Qiutong is also restless. Back then, Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong competed for favor in the dark, and Ningxia Qing was only responsible for the balance between the two parties, but he was never targeted by the war. It was precisely because of this that she didn't expect that Du Qiutong would suddenly attack her.

Ningxia Qing sneered, Tan Wenshi, Tan Wenshi, in the past, there were a group of wives and concubines, Ningxia Qing in the previous life never complained because she was grateful to Tan Wenshi, but now, she can sigh without burden, Tan Wenshi is really a blessing, and he is quite good at using women to achieve his goals.

Use Du Qiutong to balance Ningxia Qing, use Xue Qianqian to catch up with Deputy Lieutenant Xue, get the shade of Deputy Lieutenant Xue, use Grandma Qian to catch up with the Shen family, promote the Shen family and the Ning family to retreat, use Ningxia Qing to steal the Ning family, and then enter the house to steal the Ning family, and use Ningxia Qing to get the Gu Mansion, so as to obtain official resources and more business contacts...... Tan Wenshi is really good at chess!

"What do you think?" Ah Zheng saw that she was silent for a long time, and asked.

Ning Xia Qing shook his head and whispered, "Don't talk about today's matter." "Anyway, Du Qiutong is her cousin, and now she lives in the Ning family, if Du Qiutong and Tan Wenshi's private meeting is known by others, the Ning family will have to be embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I understand." Ah Zheng looked at Ning Xia Qing and said: "She cares about you very much, she once intended to ask me about your whereabouts, I think she has bad intentions, and the time when Aunt Du fell down before, Du Qiutong also appeared inexplicably, in short, you have to be careful." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

"I still have to work, so I'll go first. There are too many bad people around you, I know you are smart, but you fight alone, there will always be times when you are tired of coping, so, you must tell me if you have anything, if you are inconvenient, let Cuiyu tell me, in short, you don't carry it yourself, one more person to help you, you have a better chance of winning. ”

After Ah Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Ah Zheng's words stunned Ning Xia Qing.

Although Ah Zheng is not a man of words, he never reveals half of his heart, which can be regarded as a "taciturn" in a sense, and it is really strange that he would say such a thing today. She only felt that Ah Zheng never seemed to have ever said such a long paragraph to her, and it was such a heart-wrenching word.

This passage was not profound, even extremely superficial, and practical, but this confused her, she couldn't understand why Ah Zheng suddenly said these words, was this what he had been thinking all along, or did he rush out of sympathy for himself?

What kind of person is Ah Zheng who said this?

If you talk about hospitality, a hundred Ah Zheng is less than half of Tan Wenshi, and Ah Zheng has never expressed his kindness to Ningxia Qing on his face, and even sometimes seems too informal. But Ningxia Qing can feel that under Ah Zheng's skin, the bones are hard and the blood is hot, which makes Ningxia Qing feel safe and even excited.

In this world of decay, Ah Zheng's sincerity made her see the light of hope and aroused the blood of Akagi hidden in her heart.

More than ten days have passed, Du Qiutong has always stayed in the house peacefully, while Ningxia Qing has always waited quietly. Ning Xia Qing suddenly found that she actually enjoyed the process of waiting for her prey to take the bait.

The Ning family didn't give news for more than ten days, and the Gu family waited for these days without asking a word, I have to say that the Gu family is really a wealthy family, and it is indeed very calm. When it was almost the end of the month, the Gu family sent an invitation, and the Gu family was going to hold a birthday banquet again, so the Ning family was invited to the banquet.

The protagonists of this birthday banquet are Gu San and Gu San's grandmother, the couple were born on the same day and month, plus Gu San's official fortune has been prosperous in recent years, so Gu Fu naturally has to hold a big deal.

After learning that the invitation was delivered, Du Qiutong had a movement and began to find various reasons to run to Ningxia Qing's house.

Ningxia Qing understood that Du Qiutong was hinting at Ningxia Qing and asked Ningxia Qing to take Du Qiutong with him.

I still remember the time when Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet, Du Qiutong also hinted at Ningxia Qing, and asked Ningxia Qing to take Du Qiutong with him to give Du Qiutong a chance to tie up with the powerful, Ningxia Qing decisively refused, that was almost the first time Ningxia Qing rejected Du Qiutong's hint, because Ningxia Qing would never condone Du Qiutong like in his previous life.

Now that Gu Fu is holding another birthday banquet, Du Qiutong has hinted at Ningxia Qing again, and Ningxia Qing happily agreed.

The good cousin is going to destroy the cousin's marriage this time, how can the cousin not agree?

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but want to laugh, and at the same time was very curious, how did Du Qiutong plan to destroy the family relationship between Ning Xia Qing and Gu Huaiteng? With Du Qiutong's little ability, it is just some unpopular means, could it be that Du Qiutong wants to rush to dedicate himself to Gu Huaiteng, just like what Shen Zhiyuan did to Gu Yimeng?

Ningxia Qing is not sure, anyway, Du Qiutong is busy with all this, Ningxia Qing just needs to watch the play with peace of mind and wait for Du Qiutong to help him achieve his goal.
