Chapter 239: Ning Jiu
"Who is this Miss Ning Jiu, is she Miss Ning Wu's sister?" Jing Hu and Xie Chiying walked in the direction of the main hall together, gently shaking the palace fan painted with acacia flowers in their hands.
Xie Chiying nodded, "They are cousins, and they are both the nieces and granddaughters of Old Madam Ning. However, Miss Ning Jiu and I are the same age, so we can still talk. ”
Jinghu said: "Since it's still talking, why did your expression change?" Don't think I can't see it. ”
Xie Chiying smiled dignifiedly, and has always maintained her image of a beautiful lady and a famous lady, "This matter is a long story, let's wait until we go back." ”
Although Jinghu was very curious, he also knew that this was not a good time to speak, so he had to give up.
"Then don't forget, I'm a person who always wants to break the casserole and ask to the end for things I want to know, so don't you want to run away."
Xie Chiying just pressed her hand.
The main hall is full of female dependents, and at this time it is already a fragrant sideburns, and it is very lively. There are all young ladies or ladies who come to celebrate their birthdays, and today's scene is not much different from the Spring Festival banquet in Yanjing City.
If it was in Yanjing, Jinghu would naturally not feel any discomfort. After all, most of them are the ladies and young ladies she knows, and they always have to give her a little bit of thin noodles for the little county lord.
Today, Jinghu looked around the audience, except for the Xie sisters and Feng Yunqi, she didn't know anyone. It's just a meal, and it's a big deal that she can go back sooner.
Su Ling was about to take Xie Chiying to find Miss Ning Jiu, but he only walked a few steps, but saw a little lady greet her, "Sister Ying, I haven't seen you for a long time, I rarely came here today, but you are still avoiding me." ”
Su Ling saluted her, "I've seen Miss Ning Jiu." ”
It turned out to say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Jinghu looked at her quietly. This Miss Ning Jiu's appearance is not very outstanding, and it is almost unrelated to the word "beautiful".
She has a round face, and she looks a little plump when she stands among the women in the south of the Yangtze River who are weak and willow-supporting. But she's not an annoying look, and she's barely a little cute.
Xie Chiying said, "Where I am avoiding you." It's just that there is a distinguished guest at home today, so my mother asked me to spend more time with her. ”
Miss Ning Jiu grabbed her handle, "Oh, it turns out that I came from afar, and I can't be considered a distinguished guest here with you." ”
Her gaze fell on Jing Hu, she was stunned for a moment unconsciously, and then shook Xie Chiying's hand again, "Why don't you introduce me quickly." ”
Xie Chiying listened to her words, her expression was a little uncomfortable, and at this time she had a new mouth, so she introduced her, "This is the county lord of Jingling from the palace of Yongning County, who came to Jiangnan to visit relatives, and by chance he and I went all the way with my mother, so I came to be a guest." ”
Miss Ning Jiu's eyes were a little wrong when she saw Jinghu just now, and when she heard her identity at this time, she hurriedly bowed, "It turned out to be the little county lord, it's really rude to me." I've been at home for a long time, and I haven't heard anything from the outside world. ”
Jinghu also learned from Xie Chiying's dignified smile, "Sister Ning doesn't have to be so polite. "Just this sentence, and nothing else.
Miss Ning Jiu could naturally sense Jinghu's coldness and alienation, she had a good background, and she didn't have to grovel in front of Jinghu, so she still spoke to Xie Chiying, "No wonder you said that there are distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests from Yanjing are naturally more noble than me, a Jinling person." ”
Maybe Jing Hu had a preconceived prejudice against the Ning family, and her words were obviously a joke, but Jing Hu still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It's just that Xie Chiying said that Miss Ning Jiu had a good relationship with her, and specially asked her not to cause trouble, so she barely held back, and just stood aside with a smile.
Xie Chiying said: "When you say this, you refuse to let go of the mistakes and omissions in what I said just now, how can you be so unrelenting." Okay, don't stand and talk, go to the table. ”
Jinghu also felt strange. Xie Chiying doesn't care about it in private, on the surface, it is never possible to catch the mistakes. always looks dignified and humble, even Jinghu was deceived by her, and felt that she might not be able to get along with a woman like her.
Today, there is just a Miss Ning Jiu in front of her, and what she is doing is so flustered, it is simply out of normality. Besides, she said that Miss Ning Jiu talked to her, and people showed that they were very enthusiastic about her.
Could it be that she and Miss Ning Jiu are not really friends, just because she doesn't want to offend Old Madam Ning?
They made their way through the crowd to the table they had set up earlier. Today, Xie Chiying is the main family in the end, and everyone she sees has to say hello and say a few words. It's not far, but it's been a long walk, and Jinghu has to wait patiently.
It was the first time for her to appear in front of the wives and ladies of the Jiangnan family, and she was dressed up gorgeously today, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Some people got closer to the daughters of the Xie family and knew her identity, while many people didn't know who she was and whispered on the side.
She didn't care too much, after all, she was a clan girl and had the title of the county lord. No matter how good these wives are, they are just subordinates to her.
Jing Hu just said that he wanted Xie Chiying to secretly tell her which of the fifth Miss of the Ning family was, and it turned out that she was sitting with Miss Ning Jiu.
The fifth miss of the Ning family was born like the ninth miss of the Ning family, and she has the posture of a weak willow supporting the wind like a Jiangnan girl. The facial features are also very delicate and small.
The most rare thing is the temperament on her body, with a poetry and bookish temperament, which really separates her from the other little ladies around her who are a little noisy. However, in Jinghu's heart, she and Ke Mingxu naturally can't match.
I met the little ladies at the same table, and everyone sat down.
Miss Ning Jiu sat next to her sister, and on the other side was Xie Chiying, and Jinghu was naturally sitting next to Xie Chiying. Her attention was on Miss Ning Wu, but she also heard the conversation between Miss Ning Jiu and Xie Chiying.
“…… My brother recently got some calender paper by chance, and he is not good at dancing and writing, so it's a pity to get these. Knowing that I was going to follow my aunt and fifth sister to your house as guests, I thought you would like it, so I thought I would bring it to you. ”
"I also opened it and looked at it, it's still quite interesting, the patterns painted on it are "Red Cliff Fu", "Ge Scarf Wine" and "Lu Tong Cooking Tea", and there are also some peony patterns. You'll take a closer look later. ”
Xie Chiying smiled, "Calender paper is also rare, thank you Sixth Brother Ning for thinking about it." Just a few days ago, I went home to see my ninth brother, and he gave me a few pieces of Chengxintang paper, although our two families are world friends, it is not good to take advantage of your family in vain, so I will give it back. ”
Although calender paper is rare, it is not as precious as Chengxintang paper until death, so it is very polite to return the gift. What's more, listening to Miss Ning Jiu, her sixth brother is not good at reading and writing.
