Volume 1: The Palace's Storm Chapter 55: Tranquility and Glory (2)
Ning Guogong's courtyard above this is very large, although it is not as good as the ones they live in now, but compared with ordinary people, it is already extraordinary.
Xu Qinghan walked in front with her stomach in hand, and her personal maid held her hand and said, "Miss, let's go to Ning Guogong and don't notify him, will it be rude?" β
"They don't need to be polite over there, and there's no need for us to be so polite." Xu Qinghan snorted coldly, she pointed to the gate of the courtyard in front of her, "You go knock on the door now, say that the little seventh girl is coming to send them an invitation again, and see what kind of attitude our arrogant and domineering county lord should have at this moment." β
The maid nodded, and finally asked with some puzzlement: "Then do you need to tell those servants that the princess and wife are also there?" β
Xu Qinghan shook his head: "There is no need for these, if she knows that we are here, then she will not be able to see the true face of the county lord, this palace does not want to come in vain, so since she is here, she wants to see something interesting." β
The maid understood the meaning of Xu Qinghan's words, and then motioned for them to wait under the porch, and she bowed up and knocked on the door.
Xu Qinghan and they were all standing under this corridor, Ying Zhirou saw that her face was much better now than just now, and then she smiled and grabbed her hand and looked at Lu Ziyue: "This is all said to find others not to be happy, but to give yourself pleasure, I used to think that this method is to build your own happiness on the pain of others, not a means to see the light, but today, if that person is not a refreshing thing, this method is really different." β
Lu Ziyue raised his eyebrows: "That's it, the granddaughter of the Ningguo Mansion is not arrogant for a day or two, presumably many people can't get used to her, let's come out to find her today and the bad luck can be regarded as a bad breath for those who can't get used to her together." β
After she finished speaking, Xiao Qi also said: "Actually, Xiao Qi doesn't feel how embarrassed he is to be rejected, although the Regent Mansion is now infinitely beautiful, not everyone has to sell our face, but no matter what, we have to do some work on the face, and we can't just come to the door and reject people." β
"That's what I said, not to mention Xiao Qi, your identity is not low, Ning Jingrong is a spoiled little girl who doesn't know how to be high, in fact, there is another way to rectify her in addition to coming to the door to raise her personally, which is to find a family affair for her."
Ying Zhirou rolled her eyes slyly: "Na Ning Guogong has been trying to find a good family for this granddaughter, but the family has a low eye, and now they have not found a suitable one, and I heard that the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites wanted to ask to marry her, but was directly rejected by Ning Jingrong, and said that this second son was a straw bag before the public, so, it really didn't give people a little face." β
"And what was the result?" Lu Ziyue was very curious, if he remembered correctly, this Ministry of Rites Shangshu has two sons and a daughter, and this youngest son was born last, I don't know how much love he has in the family, Ning Jingrong said this without saving face at all, and it can be regarded as directly offending the Ministry of Rites Shangshu.
Xu Qinghan knows these things very well, she smiled and said: "Isn't it just offending people ruthlessly, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu later did not give face to the Ningguo Mansion at all in the court, but originally, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is the head of the literati, and everyone in the world is a respected figure, and he is not afraid of offending a Ning Guogong who has gradually declined." β
After listening to this, Ying Zhirou remembered something interesting, she lowered her voice and said to the other three women: "There is an even more interesting thing, the youngest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites has been married last year, and he is the daughter of the military family, I forgot what it is called, but I heard that she has a very bad temper, but she is very good at pretending to be next to her man, like a little woman, and it is very interesting that the couple is also on the Lingshan." β
As soon as she said this, the other women were not good people, so they naturally understood the meaning of her words in an instant, Xu Qinghan hesitated slightly: "Although Ning Jingrong is domineering, but the identity is here after all, if she goes to be a concubine for that man, it is not reasonable, and she is not really offended us, it is better to do this, let's take a step and see one step at a time, if she really doesn't give us a good face later, we will calculate her." β
Lu Ziyue also thinks this is very good, although calculating a Tranquility Rong can't waste any effort, but it also needs to be famous, as long as this Tranquility Rong is really arrogant and domineering for a while, she will be the master of marriage, nothing to look at, if you don't deal with it for a while, you can't keep it for the New Year!
After a few people had made up their minds, they waited here for the maid's reply.
The maid came forward and knocked on the door, looking very respectful.
It didn't take long for someone to come forward and open the door after she knocked on the door, and it was a girl with a second bun who opened the door, she rolled her eyes when she saw that it was a maid who knocked on the door, and said angrily: "I don't know where a wild girl came from actually dared to knock on the door of our Ningguo Mansion, and I don't see what your identity is, can you come here?" β
The maid who knocked on the door is called Yunxiang, Xu Qinghan's personal girl, although she is serving people, but she has also been held by the girls since she was a child, and she has not suffered any hardships and suffered any white eyes, she never expected to be bullied by a milky little girl here today, she just didn't have a good face, and said with an angry face: "No matter how beautiful your young lady is, she is also a small county lord, and when she sees our princess, she also has to salute and greet her, and the guards at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not something ordinary people can afford, What's more, I'm still the dowry girl of our princess. β
Yun Xiang spoke politely, and the little maid did not lose face. She directly inserted her waist and said, "Where are there so many princesses here?" A little seven girls came before and said what kind of invitation to send, but I looked at it as just a little girl who didn't have any hair, and what could I say on behalf of the Regent's Mansion, hum, is there really no one in the Regent's Palace, and I need her to support the faΓ§ade. β
The little girl snorted coldly, her face was sufficient, she was going to close the door after she finished speaking, Yun Xiang didn't report her door, she looked at this appearance very angry, and directly put her hand against the door: "I don't talk to you, a person who doesn't know the height of the sky, call out the person who can take care of things in your family, I want to see if the whole Ningguo Mansion doesn't know the rules like you!" β
Yun Xiang used the strength on her hands and body, and the maid was very angry that she couldn't close the door, so she said: "Since you want to meet the person in charge of our family, I will go and invite our county lord, hmph, the county lord's temper is not as good as mine, you are so angry, and the county lord will definitely let you go around without eating." β
She just turned around and left, and Yun Xiang saw that there was no one anymore and went to Xu Qinghan and them.
She went to the porch, the old man with a sled face, and said quite reluctantly: "Miss, don't ask me to do this kind of thing in the future, I look at the face of the person just now and feel that I can't eat for a few days, you say I don't know how arrogant she is, what to say that their county lord has a bad temper, we came to provoke their county lord, and their county lord will definitely not let us go." β
Yun Xiang was dissatisfied in and out of her words, Xu Qinghan's face was not good after hearing it, she took Yun Xiang's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you, that little maid spoke so politely, and praised their county lord so much, I want to see how great the county lord of their family is, dare to give us so many people at once." β
At this moment, there is a girl in a big red shirt dancing among the flowers in the courtyard where the Ningguo Mansion temporarily lives, her wide water sleeves are brushing over one flower after another in the dance, the movement is very gentle and powerful, after turning round and round, the flowers on the flower branches are still blooming, and a petal has not fallen.
She didn't feel tired after dancing for a long time, but when she saw her personal maid running in, she took a few steps forward with her hands on her waist and looked at the puffing maid, and asked curiously: "What is it that makes our little man unhappy?" Come, you tell your county lord that your county lord has no other skills, but he can get justice for you, which is absolutely possible. β
The maid called Xiaoman saw that Ning Jingrong was like this, so she stomped her feet even more angrily: "County Lord, don't you know, just now there was a girl who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth came to knock on the door of our house, saying that she was the girl next to the princess, and said that she would let someone who could talk to our Ningguo Mansion go out to see her, Xiaoman looked at her dress carefully, although it was good, but the brocade used to make clothes was also from last year, and it didn't look like a glamorous one, if it was really a personal girl around the princess, it couldn't be so downcast, right?" β
"Even so, it's a little weird." Ning Jingrong thought for a while when he heard this, and then said, "In the morning, Xiao Qi from the Regent Mansion's family came to send us an invitation to the evening banquet, but I didn't answer it, but in a blink of an eye, a personal girl from the princess's side came to trouble us, did you say that Xiao Qi girl went back to complain." β
The more Jing Jingrong thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, it was not that she had not heard the woman named Xiao Qi in the capital, but she really didn't look down on this kind of woman who was left and right, so she didn't give her a good look.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Qi would turn her head and go to sue, and she was looking for the princess regent, but it was also very interesting, she often followed the prince to do things, and it can be said that she was a powerful assistant by the prince's side, but she was a woman, and she was not unsympathetic for a long time, why did this princess regent never think about guarding against her, but now she came out to make decisions for her?
