586: Ning Yanqi
Nalan Jinxiu is a realistic person, no matter how the world says about this fourth son, she feels that it is a bit exaggerated. If it is really so godly, everyone can write eight strands of essays according to his ideas to be able to go to high school, then what are the examiners doing.
Although she didn't believe that the fourth prince had such great ability, she didn't deny that he must be an extremely talented person. Just from the point that the third brother asked Ji Boyan to study, the fourth son must have something extraordinary.
"Who accompanied the little young master?" asked Nalan Jinxiu sideways.
Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then took out a hairpin, and asked with a reluctant smile: "Madame, do you think we can bring this today?"
Nalan Jinxiu was silent, and glanced at her lightly. The wishful beast said the reproach in her eyes, and slowly lowered her head, looking dejected.
"Ruyi, let me ask you who accompanied the little master. Nalan Jinxiu repeated in a cold voice.
This time, Ruyi slowly raised his head, his eyes were a little evasive, and he whispered, "Yes, it's Miss Ning." ”
Miss Ning? Nalan Jinxiu really can't remember who this Ning girl is, looking at Ruyi's dodging appearance, this girl's identity must be different. And she vaguely felt that this difference must be related to the third brother.
"Who is Miss Ning?" asked Nalan Jinxiu.
Ruyi knew that she couldn't hide it, and Mrs. would know sooner or later, so she simply told it out.
This Ning girl's name is Ning Yanqi, she is nineteen years old, and she is the cousin and niece of the queen of the dynasty. The Ning family is a well-known family in Suzhou, and last year the queen was seriously ill, and the Ning family sent Ning Yanqi into the palace to serve the sick.
Ning Yanqi is gifted and intelligent, and she was already a famous figure in Suzhou before she was ten years old. When she became an adult, she founded a girls' school in Suzhou, but unfortunately, Daning was so popular that the school was finally forced to close.
After the failure, she was not discouraged, and wanted the school to reopen. It's a pity that the Ning family doesn't support her, she is limited in what a weak woman can do, and in the end she only has a bad reputation.
Originally, because of the good background and beautiful and intelligent, many people came to the door to propose marriage. But in the end, because she showed up outside all the year round, she was pointed at by the locals behind her back.
Say that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Regardless of whether what others said was true or not, Ning Yanqi's reputation was indeed bad. The son of a good family naturally refuses to marry her, and she doesn't look down on a poor family.
In this way, the marriage was delayed, and he turned eighteen years old last year and had not yet decided to marry, and his father had a headache, so he told the queen mother about the situation.
Of course, the queen is not an ordinary woman, and she has a lot of love for Ning Yanqi in her heart. Thinking that the ninth princess was bored in the palace, he used the excuse of letting Ning Yanqi enter the palace to serve her illness and recruited her into the palace.
The queen originally took a fancy to Ning Yanqi's beauty, good family background, and her vision was not comparable to that of ordinary women. Thinking of the noble families in Jinling City, there are always discerning people, so they want to give Ning Yanqi's marriage.
First, it can reassure Father Ning. Second, she can take the opportunity to win people's hearts. The queen failed to give birth to a boy, and if she wanted to establish a position in the harem, she must have strong foreign aid. She is also exhausted for this.
Who knows that Ning Yanqi is not easy to control, although she is alone in the palace and has to rely on the queen everywhere, she is still stubborn and refuses to do things for the queen.
She didn't look down on any of the sons of the family that the queen arranged for her, but she had a good eye for Ji Hongye. Ji Hongye himself not only does not get involved in party disputes, but also has no contact with the people in the harem.
If Ning Yanqi marries him, then the queen's calculations will be in vain. There are many harem methods, and it is definitely not something that Ning Yanqi can deal with, and she was finally drugged.
The queen chose a person who was most beneficial to herself, and wanted them to become husband and wife, and then, she could get the support of both families at once.
Ning Yanqi has been running around since she became an adult, and she has also practiced some self-defense skills, but in the end she still failed to protect herself. She is a person whose heart is higher than the sky, and after suffering such humiliation, it is difficult to accept it for a while, so she thinks of suicide.
Coincidentally, when she jumped down from the upstairs, she was just in time for Ji Hongye to pass by. He wasn't an eventful man, but he wasn't going to die without help. After knowing the whole story, he instructed Ning Yanqi.
Ning Yanqi gave up the idea of suicide because of this, but she refused to return to the palace. She didn't want to be a tool of the queen, and she didn't want to marry the one who had taken her possession.
Ji Hongye was thinking about helping her this time, and he moved casually, as if it hadn't happened. The queen's calculation failed, and she naturally hated it in her heart, but she didn't dare to openly be an enemy of him, so she had to give up.
Ning Yanqi was seriously injured and contracted a vicious disease, and there was nowhere else to go in Jinling, so she recuperated in Jifu. said that she would leave after she recovered from her injury, but who knew that her injury was repeated repeatedly, and it was a year of tossing.
During the year, she and the ladies of the Ji Mansion gradually became acquainted, and even the old lady liked her very much. Everyone didn't know where she came from, but they only knew that she must be a noble person and was very kind to her.
Ning Yanqi is very talented, and occasionally pointing out Ji Boyan can get twice the result with half the effort. Out of love for her son, Ji Hongye let her stay until now.
After listening to Ruyi's narration, Nalan Jinxiu also had a general understanding of Ning Yanqi. She should be an extremely smart person, and she will not be recognized by everyone in the Ji Mansion in just one year.
She is a woman with a foreign surname who has lived in the Ji family for a long time, and sooner or later she will be criticized. At that time, rumors will point to her, and the reputation of the third brother is not good, and the third brother will inevitably accept her for the sake of the overall situation.
She is so talented and loved by everyone, and the most important thing is that she is destined to be like a fish in water in the Ji family. With such scheming methods, I'm afraid that few people can catch up.
Nalan Jinxiu's eyes became deep, it is naturally good for people to be smart, but if they don't use these smarts in the right way, it will become a great disaster.
What kind of person Ning Yanqi is, and whether it will hurt Ji Boyan, these are all things that need to be verified. If she is a person worthy of trust, it is not impossible to hand over Ji Boyan to her.
"When will Miss Ning and the little young master come back?"
"Should be back before lunch. ”
"You let the kitchenette make lunch more sumptuous, and I'm going to invite Miss Ning. ”
The boss with Ruyi's eyes glaring, how did Miss Ning treat the third master, she saw it in her eyes. No matter how well she disguises it, it is difficult to escape her observation, which is also a woman.
Ruyi felt that he had two heads as big as one, and I couldn't help but blame me secretly, I couldn't help but blame myself for being too embarrassed.
The third master didn't say anything, why did she just tell Miss Ning? But if she didn't tell Madame, she would be uneasy, after all, the potential enemy was much more threatening than the one on the surface.
Especially Madame's attitude towards the third master, it couldn't be worse. She was just afraid that Madame would lose the heart of the third master, and she was afraid that Miss Ning would take advantage of it.
"What kind of eyes are you?" Nalan Jinxiu glanced at Ruyi and said lightly: "I just want to ask Miss Ning to have a meal, and I won't do anything to her." ”
"Madame doesn't know, almost no one in our house knows that Miss Ning is in love with the third master. It's only the second day of your wedding, if you ask Miss Ning to eat, I'm afraid that everyone will talk about it. ”
Nalan Jinxiu took a hairpin by herself and inserted it between her sideburns. The expression was very flat, so that people couldn't see the emotion: "Discussion, what are you discussing? Say that I don't have the capacity to tolerate people, or will I say that my meal is a Hongmen banquet?"
Ruyi didn't expect Mrs. to speak so bluntly now, so she shrunk her neck and whispered, "I guess there is something worse than this." ”
"My mouth is on other people's faces, and I don't care what they want to say. ”
"But doesn't Madame think that this is not right, and it will certainly be bad for your reputation. ”
Nalan Jinxiu didn't care about it, and she shouldn't stay in the Ji Mansion for long. It's just that she also has scruples now, if the third brother tells Jiming one day that she is his mother, she will be afraid that the child will hate her.
"Then forget about eating for the time being, you let the small kitchen stew some delicious tonic soup, and I'll go to visit the little master later." ”
Ruyi took the order to run errands, she took care of Ji Boyan for so long, and she knew his tastes very well. Although Ji Boyan is a boy, he loves sweets, especially sweet soups. This is very similar to Mrs.
After Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly had lunch, she took Ruyi to Ji Boyan's courtyard. After Ruyi was transferred to her, only Mo Yan and Mo Yu were the maids in charge of Ji Boyan's courtyard.
As soon as Mo Yan saw Nalan Jinxiu coming, he smiled and stepped forward to salute: "The little young master is boxing in the backyard, Mrs. will sit for a while, and the slave will call." ”
"No, I'll go see him box. ”
When Nalan Jinxiu arrived in the backyard, she saw Ning Yanqi, who was standing aside and watching Ji Boyan box. It's better to clap your hands from time to time, and it seems that the two of them should get along very easily.
Ji Boyan was originally boxing well, but he stopped when he saw Nalan Jinxiu. He stood a little restrained, and waited until Ning Yanqi reminded him to say hello to his mother, and then he bowed and called his mother.
Nalan Jinxiu was not very comfortable in her heart, her own child was so close to other women, but in front of her biological mother, she was so restrained. But she knew that the child was sensitive, and she couldn't force this matter, so as not to make him even more disgusted.
She smiled softly and asked, "What kind of punch did you just fight?"
Ji Boyan replied respectfully: "Back to my mother, it's Hong Boxing." ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "Hong Fist is a popular boxing method in the north, focusing on being fierce and domineering, I don't think you have enough strength." ”
Ji Boyan scratched his head a little shyly, and whispered, "Mr. said the same thing." ”
"You're still young, and the main thing to practice boxing is to strengthen your body, why don't you try other boxing techniques?" Nalan Jinxiu now has to be grateful to Xu Jince, if it weren't for his supervision, where would she know so much.
