Chapter 161: Gifts

Ning Xia Qing was half relieved and half relieved: "Grandma doesn't have to think too much, Mrs. Gu is just thinking about you, you can find time to meet her in the next few days." Besides, even if she is really for Zi'er's business, with her friendship with her grandmother, she will not embarrass us, but will only help us better understand this matter. ā€

Mrs. Ning was amused by Ning Ningqing, and said angrily: "You kid...... I've only played with her since childhood, and it's not a very deep friendship. Alas, every time you come back from the Gu Mansion, you tell me that she wants to see me, in fact, I always want to see her, but she is now a nobleman, if I always go to her, I am afraid that others will say that I am deliberately clinging to her, which is not to be heard. ā€

Ning Xia Qing comforted: "Grandma, why do you care what others say, you and Mrs. Gu are old friends, and now that they are in their old age, they are bored when they stay at home all day, if you can often get together to talk and relieve boredom, we will actually be relieved as younger generations." ā€

Even the Cao family persuaded: "Yes, the old lady will often go to see the old lady Gu." After all, it's not good for you to be bored at home all day, and if you go out and walk around a lot, it's also good for your body. ā€

Ningxia Qingdao: "Old Lady Gu is the same thing in the Gu Mansion, as long as the Old Lady Gu values you, no one in the entire Gu Mansion will dare to say that you don't say a word." And the Gu Mansion values you, and others dare not gossip about you. What are you worried about? ā€

Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "Moreover, as soon as you go, Mrs. Gu will be happy, and as soon as Mrs. Gu is happy, the rest of the Gu family will be relieved, and it will be too late to thank you." ā€

"This kid, clean nonsense." Old Mrs. Ning laughed completely now.

Ningxia Zixiang finished talking to the old lady and Cao, then went back to his room to tidy up, and then went to the shop, looking for Dong Zizhen while walking, and found Dong Zizhen and Ah Zheng who had just had lunch at the back door of the shop, and Ningxia Qing took the two of them to the front hall to talk about things.

Ning Xia Qing didn't mention Aunt Du's matter, but just described the shop that Aunt Du entered, and then whispered to Dong Zizhen: "You go and help me confirm whether that shop is Miao Laosan's." ā€

"Miao Laosan's shop? Miao Laosan still has such a shop? But I've never heard of it. Dong Zizhen was stunned: "Moreover, even if it is Miao Laosan's shop, it has nothing to do with us, what do we do with this......"

Ning Xia Qing said lightly: "I see that his shop is good, maybe it will be ours in the future." But even she was aware of it, and there was almost irrepressible joy in her final note.

"What?!" Dong Zizhen almost jumped up: "Can we do business on Ninety Percent Alley?!" ā€

Before Ning Ningqing could answer, Dong Zizhen paced back and forth in the room while rubbing his hands, and said happily: "It just so happens that I am going to run errands near Jiucheng Lane in the afternoon, so I will go to inquire by the way!" If this can really be done, our business will really be bigger and better! ā€

Dong Zizhen didn't even care about the lunch break, and said excitedly: "Is there anything else in charge?" If it's okay, I'll go to Jiucheng Lane now! After speaking, before Ningxia Qing could reply, Dong Zizhen ran out excitedly.

Ning Ningqing couldn't help but smile and said: "Shopkeeper Dong is really happy, he just ran out, he didn't even wear a hat, it's cold outside today, he just ran like this, and he will inevitably get cold." ā€

Ah Zheng said: "A man has rough skin and thick meat, and he is not so easy to feel cold, not to mention that the shopkeeper Dong is now in the prime of life, so don't worry about him." ā€

Ning Ningqing nodded, the more she thought about it, the more she felt cola, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, I was going to return that wolf tooth to you before, and I passed it when something happened, so I brought it to you today." As she spoke, she took the wolf tooth out of her cuff and held it up in front of Ah Zheng.

"But ......" Ningxia Qingguan smiled and said, "Before I give it back to you, I want to ask you what is engraved on your wolf teeth?" ā€

Ning Xia Qing had already noticed that there seemed to be a few things on the wolf's teeth that looked like words, but they were obviously not Chinese, she really couldn't recognize them, and she was really curious, so she made up her mind to take the opportunity to ask Ah Zheng, and said: "If you don't tell me, I won't pay you back." ā€

Ah Zheng smiled slightly, and said good-naturedly: "This is Khitanwen." This wolf tooth is a relic of my adoptive father, and after he died, he left it to me, and I engraved the words on it. ā€

Ah Zheng said flatly: "Later, someone owed me a favor, so he took the words I engraved on the wolf's tooth as my seal. ā€

Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "It turns out that this thing is equivalent to your seal, no wonder you never leave your body." She stretched out her hand to Ah Zheng and said, "That...... I'll give it back to you. ā€

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "Just let you go, you need it more than me." ā€

Ning Ningqing frowned puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ā€

Ah Zheng said: "When I was in Khitan before, there were some people who owed me favors. If you have something difficult to solve, write a letter and print the Khitan text on it, send the letter to the Khitan tribe, and someone will come to help you solve this matter. For example, if you need silver, a few hundred thousand taels should be fine. ā€

Ah Zheng said: "For example, if you need manpower, there will be tens of thousands of people coming, and they can help you regardless of the consequences." Anyway, I can solve my own affairs, so I don't need this, but you usually get into trouble, and you need this more than me, so you can keep it. ā€

Ningxia Qing was stunned......

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver...... Tens of thousands of people...... What kind of concept is this......

How much do those people owe Ah Zheng a lot of favors......

If it's just an important object, Ah Zheng is going to give it, she may really take it, but this thing seems to be more than just an object, this thing is too powerful......

She opened her mouth and hurriedly said, "This thing is too important, I'll give it back to you......"

Ah Zheng shook his head as if he didn't care, Ning Xia Qing hurriedly took Ah Zheng's hand and was about to stuff it to him, at this moment, Cuiyu's voice suddenly came from outside: "Girl, are you there?" Mrs. called you to ...... lunch" Before the words fell, Dong Zizhen, who had already walked in, had already walked in the door that was not closed when he left.

At the moment when Cuiyu came in, Cuiyu was stunned, and Ningxia Qing was also stunned. Only Ah Zheng looked calm, pulled out his hand and said, "You take it, Mrs. told you to go to lunch, you can hurry up." Then, Ah Zheng walked straight past Cuiyu's side and went back to the shop.

Cuiyu and Ningxia Qing stared widely, and Cuiyu murmured in disbelief: "Girl...... I—I didn't mean to...... The girl and Ah Zheng ......"

Ning Ningqing had regained his calm at this time, rubbed the wolf teeth in his hand, thought about it, but finally did not clarify anything, only said: "Since you have seen it, don't say it, no one can say it, especially not let the old lady and the wife know, remember?" ā€

Cuiyu nodded immediately, and at the same time subconsciously covered her mouth, but after reacting, she still asked curiously: "The girl is ...... with Ah Zheng" but when Ning Xia Qing looked at it, she instantly covered her mouth silently.

Looking at Cuiyu's appearance, Ning Xia Qing suddenly smiled and opened his mouth, but his heart turned a thousand times, and finally it only became a sentence: "Actually...... It's not what you think, anyway...... Don't talk about it yet. ā€

In the afternoon, the Ya woman who was looking for a maid for Zi'er had already come to the door, and even Zi'er was specially picked up from Gu's Academy.

Lan Ying came to call Ningxia Qing, and Ningxia Qing went to Cao's courtyard.

However, before Ningxia Qing entered the hospital, he heard a shrill voice from inside. Ning Xia Qing distinguished it for a moment, and asked Lan Ying in surprise: "Why is Aunt Du inside?" ā€

Lan Ying was also stunned, and said, "I don't know, when my wife asked me to call the eldest girl just now, Aunt Du wasn't here yet, maybe she just came over." ā€

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help frowning, and Cuiyu muttered in a low voice: "It's just past noon now, but she's coming back soon......"

Lan Ying whispered to Ning Xia Qing: "Big girl, Aunt Du seems to have been thinking about finding errands for her brother recently, and she comes to bother her wife from time to time......

Ning Xia Qing and Lan Ying glanced at each other, only to hear Aunt Du's voice coming from inside: "Mrs., don't dislike me, these are all specially selected by me, specially to honor my wife, although it is not precious, but it is also my heart, if Mrs. does not accept it, it will call me ......."

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing had already walked into the house.

Ningxia Qing saw that Aunt Du was spreading a burden on the table, and there were a lot of delicate things in the bag, either a pearl hairpin and a jade ring or a children's toy, and she was trying to give things to Cao and Ningxia Zi.

Ningxia Qing called Cao's name, and then asked Aunt Du: "Didn't Aunt go to pray for blessings?" Why did you bring all these goodies back? ā€

Aunt Du smiled and said, "Yes, I went to pray for the master, and by the way, I went to see my younger brother, who specially handed over this burden to me and asked me to use it to honor my wife." These are all treasures that my brother bought from a friend of his who sells small utensils, and my brother is reluctant to keep them, so I must bring them to my wife. ā€

Aunt Du affectionately introduced Ningxia Qing: "There are a lot of toys here, which my brother specially sent to our Zi'er girl, as well as this pearl hairpin and jade ring, the eldest girl can take whichever she likes." ā€

Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly and said, "Please Aunt Du thank your brother on my behalf." Aunt Du just came back from praying for blessings, she must be tired, so let's go back and rest, it's too late to pick these things later. ā€

Aunt Du was stunned for a moment, but she still smiled and said, "That...... That's fine, don't bother my wife to pick the maid, I'll go back. But he didn't forget to push the burden to Cao's side, and said affectionately: "These things sent by my brother are left with my wife." ā€

After speaking, Aunt Du glanced at Ning Ningqing, squeezed out a flattering smile, and then left Cao's house.
