Chapter 13~14 Shallow Love | A good wife and a beautiful concubine
After solving Miaoya's matter, Ning Xiang finally had time to take a breath.
It's also because the doctor is back, she always feels that the things at hand are much smoother.
For a long time, the shops in the capital have been selling well with Ning Xiang's recipes, but recently, the response of the guests has been a little cold, and there is nothing in the house that she has to cook, and she just has free up her hands to study something new.
Su Jingchen has also been idle recently, running to her every day, but Ouyang Shaoqian is busy, he doesn't know what he is doing, and he hasn't shown up for a long time.
"What are you doing here?" Su Jingchen is like a wisp of ghost, wandering around Ning Xiang whenever he is free.
Ning Xiang was worried about how to remove the impurities in the makeup powder and make the fragrance more refined, when she was suddenly interrupted and pouted dissatisfied.
"Why are you always here?"
"Aren't you afraid you'll be able to use me for something?" Su Jingchen accompanied the smiling face, quite flattering, "It's a good teacher to go out of the same house, I should be worried about you." ”
"You're thinking about something!" The house doctor knocked on Su Jingchen's ass with a cane.
"Ouch!" Su Jingchen exhaled in pain, covered his buttocks and said, "You are very sharp in your legs and feet, what are you doing with crutches all day long?" ”
"Isn't it easy to use?" Li Yingzhong flipped a sword flower with a small turn, and he was indeed very flexible, "And it seems to be a teacher immortal, right?" ”
Ning Xiang was amused by Li Yingzhong, and said in her heart that he had finally lived out his true temperament, as long as the master was doing well, she would be satisfied.
Su Jingchen knew that Li Yingzhong was just trying to make Ning Xiang happy, and the crutches just now didn't hurt, just looking at Ning Xiang always frowning, he didn't have the innocence of the little girl's family at all, he was very distressed.
"Girl, doesn't your young lady need you at this time?" Su Jingchen was afraid that Ning Xiang would be trained, so he cared.
Ning Xiang glanced at Su Jingchen, and then spit out the tip of her tongue: "I gave her some morning tea to calm her nerves, she is sleepy." I learned it all from my master. ”
"Just learn from me!" Li Yingzhong's beard was curled.
Ning Xiang laughed and said, "Didn't you also drug the eldest lady, I heard that she is always tired and sleepy today." ”
"Well, who are they?" Su Jingchen pretended to be sad and shook his head, "It's over, the Zhizhou Mansion is over." ”
As soon as the words fell, a bird fell from the window outside Ning Xiang's house, with a small bamboo tube tied to its legs.
Seeing this, Su Jingchen said helplessly: "I'm going back again, King Xiao doesn't know what to do again." ”
"Who are you working for?" Ning Xiang stopped what she was doing and looked at Su Jingchen puzzled, "If you don't want to go, you can deal with him." ”
"King Xiao is suspicious, I must do it without leakage, otherwise I will put the whole family in it."
Su Jingchen stretched out his hand and patted Ning Xiang's shoulder: "I probably know why Master doesn't agree with me thinking about you, but I can't let go of it in my heart." ”
When Ning Xiang heard this, her movements froze, not knowing how to react.
"Ouyang's kid is a good one, but this road is too hard, if you can't stand it, come to me." Su Jingchen took a deep breath, as if he wanted to say something goodbye, "If he bullies you, wait for me to come back and stand up for you." ”
Li Yingzhong didn't pick up the crutches this time, but waited for Su Jingchen to finish speaking.
Over the years, he can also see that Su Jingchen, this kid, is really interested in Ning Xiang, not to mention that the spices that Ning Xiang needs can be bought no matter how far away they are, and even Ning Xiang used the fake identity to open the shop in the capital, Su Jingchen didn't know how much effort he had made.
Su Jingchen is also a thoughtful person who knows what to do and what not to do.
Maybe the fate of the two people is not enough, so they can't go together, it's better to be like this, it's better than being awkward in their hearts.
After Su Jingchen opened the window and left, Ning Xiang remained silent.
Li Yingzhong didn't talk rashly, and only Ning Xiang figured it out about this matter.
After a while, Ning Xiang prepared the recipe at hand and wrote it down with pen and ink, everything was the dosage after trial and error, and it was very fine.
"Grandpa." Ning Xiang suddenly shouted Li Yingzhong.
Li Yingzhong was also thinking about things, and when he heard her call himself, he turned his head.
"I guess I figured it out." Ning Xiang's tone was very flat, "Just now, when Senior Brother said those words to me, I was sad, but I was not reluctant. But when I thought about Ouyang Gongzi before, I thought to myself, why can't I. ”
Li Yingzhong was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ning Xiang to think about this matter so carefully, and he didn't expect her to be able to say it to herself.
Since Ning Xiang was by his side when she was a child, this little girl was like a mute when she had something in her heart, no matter how much he asked, Ning Xiang always said lightly "It's okay".
In the face of such a Ning Xiang, Li Yingzhong was both worry-free and distressed.
But now that she is willing to take the initiative to confess her heart to herself, Li Yingzhong said that it is impossible not to be moved.
"Grandpa was also young, and the way you look at that kid is different from what others look at." Li Yingzhong touched Ning Xiang's little head melon with satisfaction, looked at the little girl in front of him who was as delicate as a flower, and felt very uneasy, "If you don't know that his family's family style has always been strict, no matter how much he asks me, I don't want to." ”
"If you don't want to, I won't agree." Ning Xiang sat beside Li Yingzhong obediently, this was the first person who let himself off his guard and give himself a way to live, Ning Xiang cared about him the most.
Li Yingzhong knew what Ning Xiang meant, and said with a slight smile: "I know that you girl has done more than she said, I understand." ”
"That senior brother's ...... over there"
"He doesn't have to worry about us, he understands it very well." Li Yingzhong waved his hand nonchalantly, "The others haven't gone back yet, and the old man has already picked four or five girls for him." ”
Ning Xiang couldn't help but think of the picture of Su Jingchen being chased by a group of girls all over the yard, which felt very spectacular. But when he thought that Ouyang Shaoqian was also the only son in the family, he couldn't help but retreat a little.
Li Yingzhong didn't find Ning Xiang's thoughts, and muttered that it was time to leave the house, and left after a few words.
Ning Xiang habitually wiped the window frame after he left.
I don't know what's wrong with these two or two, I have to go through the window if I don't leave the door.
Jiang Yueyue woke up at night, and for some reason she had nightmares all day. is also the things hidden in her heart are infinitely magnified, and this nightmare haunts her so that she is not in pain.
"Miss is awake?" Ning Xiang counted the time to enter the house, knowing that the effect of the medicine had almost passed.
Jiang Yueyue called her in, rubbed her forehead and said, "You came just in time, make a cup of tea." ”
"Hey." Ning Xiang answered, turned her head and went out and came back, but her hands were empty.
"Where's the tea?" Jiang Yueyue glared at her dissatisfied.
"This ...... There are no fresh tea leaves in our yard anymore, just some old tea, which has changed its taste a little. ”
Jiang Yue happily threw the pillow on the ground: "It's really too deceitful, let's go, let's find our mother!" ”
Ning Xiang saw that Jiang Yueyue was really angry, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she followed her to Mrs. Jiang.
Who knew that before he could go in, he was stopped in the way.
"Madame is resting, please come back to the eldest lady." Bi'er stopped the two at the door with an expressionless face.
She thought simply, but Jiang Yan said that she didn't like this sister, so she didn't hesitate to stop people.
"When will you, a slave, be able to stop the master in the yard?" Jiang Yueyue was angry, and it happened that Bi'er bumped into her, so she naturally couldn't please her.
Ning Xiang felt that she was only afraid of making trouble today, Bi'er often served by Jiang Yan's side, and now that she was here, she was only afraid of the inside......
Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Yan stepped out, and just as he bumped into Jiang Yueyue, he raised his hand and slapped Bi'er in the face.
Jiang Yan was a half-grown boy, and when he saw Jiang Yueyue treating Bi'er like this, he didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed over and pushed Jiang Yueyue directly.
Jiang Yueyue didn't expect her younger brother to be a maid
With such a big tantrum with her, he was pushed to the ground all of a sudden.
"Yan'er!" Mrs. Jiang was coming out of the courtyard when she saw Bi'er covering her face and crying, while her daughter was pushed by her son and fell to the ground.
Ning Xiang only felt that she might not be able to be good today, and she clearly saw that Mrs. Jiang's eyes became cold when she looked at Bi'er.
When Jiang Yueyue saw her mother come out, she immediately cried aggrievedly, but she couldn't bear it and didn't cry out in pain, but it made people feel wronged.
How do you know that Jiang Yan took a step forward first, bowed his head in a proper manner, and said: "Fang is the son who is reckless, and I ask my mother to punish him." ”
"You're smart." Mrs. Jiang glanced at him lightly, how can a mother not know the child's mind? Jiang Yan didn't mention why Bi'er was crying, obviously because she didn't want to notice her, as for why......
Mrs. Jiang instructed Ling'er to move the Taishi chair out and sat outside, and Ling'er also thoughtfully held up an umbrella to shield Mrs. Jiang from the sun.
Everyone didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to make such a move, and they were a little overwhelmed, but she didn't speak, and the rest of the people didn't dare to make a move.
Ning Xiang helped Jiang Yueyue to stand up, helped her pat her dusty dress, and asked in a low voice if it hurt.
Jiang Yueyue wiped her tears and stood aside, leaning on Ning Xiang's side, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Bi'er didn't know what the eldest lady meant, so she didn't dare to speak, so she covered her swollen cheeks and stood aside alone.
"Mother's ......"
Jiang Yan saw that Mrs. Jiang didn't say what she was going to do, so she was about to ask, but was glared back by Mrs. Jiang.
"You're grown up." Seeing that her son was so breathless, Mrs. Jiang sighed, "Even if your sister provokes you, you have to do it, which shows that you are really a man." ”
The yin and yang weirdness of these words made Jiang Yan sigh in his heart, after all, he was still young, and he immediately panicked.
"Mother, I was wrong." He didn't hesitate, and knelt down when he said to kneel.
Seeing that he was so simple, Mrs. Jiang became even more angry, slapped the armrest of the chair, and scolded angrily: "Just for a slave!" Can you do that? The man has gold under his knees, but I don't see that you have such a backbone, I'm afraid it's all worn out, right? ”
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Bi'er: "I didn't see that there was such a person like you around me!" Do you know shame? How old are you? How old is Yan'er? ”
Jiang Yan and Bi'er were so frightened when they heard this that their legs went limp. They have always been hidden, how can Mrs. Jiang know about it?
Ning Xiang didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to suddenly find out about Jiang Yan at this time, and it was said that she would have to cover it for a while.
Jiang Yueyue didn't understand Mrs. Jiang's words at all, but she was so frightened by her anger that she didn't dare to squeak, and even held back her crying.
"You say, what's going on?" Madame Jiang calmed down a little, pointed at Ning Xiang with her hand, and was not even ready to listen to Jiang Yueyue's explanation.
Ning Xiang was ordered, so she could only bite the bullet and try to say things plainly.
"There was no tea in Miss's room, so she brought me to ask Mrs. if she was rich, but when she arrived at the door, she was stopped by Sister Bi'er, Miss was angry for a while, and hit Sister Bi'er, and then Childe pushed Miss."
"Is everything she said true?" Madame Jiang asked.
"Mother, I ......"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yan was about to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Jiang.
Bi'er didn't know whether to nod or shake her head at the moment, and she was stupidly stunned.
"Mother and brother are also unintentional." Jiang Yueyue saw some clues, and felt a little happy in her heart.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's newly extinguished heart fire was provoked by this sentence again.
"Heartless?! Go, drag that down and beat her to death! ”
"Mother!" Jiang Yan didn't know that Mrs. Jiang was just trying to test it, so she suddenly hooked, "I really love Bi'er, and I ask my mother to fulfill it!" ”
Originally, there was only a little suspicion in my heart, but now I was sitting down, not only Mrs. Jiang was angry enough, but even Jiang Yueyue almost pointed at Jiang Yan's nose and scolded.
But Mrs. Jiang stroked her chest and eased, her attitude changed, and she said to Bi'er: "Originally, I also had affection for you, since this is the case, I have nothing to say, Yan'er has affection for you, if I don't do it, but my mother is ruthless." ”
Everyone present was stunned. Ning Xiang looked at Jiang Yan's eyes full of gratitude, and immediately understood. In her previous life, Bi'er got married, and Mrs. Jiang was still resolute, but now this Bi'er has obviously become Jiang Yan's favorite, if she is tough, I'm afraid that she will be separated from her son.
Jiang Yan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, his forehead slammed on the ground, and he could hear the sound.
Seeing Jiang Yan like this, Ning Xiang knew that this Bi'er would not be able to die well.
"You haven't reached the age of marrying a wife and taking a concubine, you still study hard, when you get ahead, marry a good wife, and then accept Bi'er as a beautiful concubine, you can rest assured for your mother." Mrs. Jiang suppressed the nausea in her chest, and tried her best to treat the vixen in front of her with kindness, "Bi'er has also served me for a long time, she will follow you, and she will ...... me after a hundred years."
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yueyue saw Mrs. Jiang raise it high and put it down gently, and immediately became dissatisfied, but Ning Xiang pulled her sleeve with one hand, and saw Mrs. Jiang looking at her indifferently, as if she was blaming her for speaking rashly, and she could only stop her voice.
Ning Xiang looked at the two people who were kneeling happily in front of Mrs. Jiang, and sighed for a while, not knowing whether to sympathize with their dreams.
