Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter Seventy-Six: Fight
"I don't know what the second sister is calling her sister at night, but what's the matter?" Ning Wanran had already guessed in her heart that Ning Zhixuan must have something important to call her Yunxi Pavilion, but she was a little nervous because she couldn't guess what it was, and her slender fingers rubbed back and forth on the skirt in a nervous way.
"Thinking about it, my sister has already guessed in my heart that I have asked someone to invite my sister all night because there are some things to discuss with my sister." Ning Zhiwen saw that Ning Wanran was uneasy, so she deliberately softened her tone and said, "Although you and I are sisters, we rarely go to each other on weekdays, so it is rare for the fifth sister to stand up and protect each other in Fanying Pavilion last time, that incident has always been pressed in my heart, and now I have the opportunity to thank the fifth sister in person." ”
Every time Ning Zhiyun saw Ning Wanran, she only went to ask Ning Xiang and the Bai family together, you must know that Ning Zhiyun only used every morning and dusk to ask the Bai family for peace this year, and when she was trapped in Yunxi Pavilion a few years ago, she couldn't even see the faces of the sisters.
Ning Wanran seemed to think for a while after listening to Ning Zhiyun's words, and then she remembered that day when she protected Ning Zhiyun in Fanying Pavilion, she didn't expect that Ning Zhiyun would take it to heart because of the little things she had to do.
"The second sister doesn't need to say thank you, it just seems that the second sister treats me very kindly, and I can't bear to watch the second sister suffer." Ning Wanran may have heard the kindness in Ning Zhiyun's tone, and the whole person has slowly relaxed, "My sister is very grateful to the second sister for her hairpin that day. ”
Entering the palace that day to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, Ning Zhiyun only accidentally saw that Ning Wanran's clothes were slightly more elegant, so she gave her her Hundred Butterfly Silver Hairpin, but she never thought that she would always keep this friendship in her heart.
"A hairpin?" This time it was Ning Zhiyun's turn to be a little confused, she thought about it for a long time and reminded Su Xin on the side, "Miss once gave her Hundred Butterfly Silver Hairpin to Fifth Miss when she entered the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday. ”
After being reminded by Su Xinyi, Ning Zhixuan suddenly remembered that there was something going on, at that time, she just saw Ning Wanran hiding in the corner with her eyes shrunken, because she remembered herself in her previous life, so she walked over and inserted the Baidie silver hairpin into her hair. Now it seems that she really didn't see the wrong person, although Ning Wanran was a little cowardly, she was a person who knew how to be grateful.
"The fifth sister is also thirteen years old this year, and after two years of completion of the ceremony, it will be time to discuss the marriage." Although Ning Wanran is simple-minded and has never been harmless, how can she not know her difficult situation when she is a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ning Zhiyun looked at Ning Wanran's gradually dimming gaze, although she couldn't bear it, she still said: "The eldest sister has already married into the palace, the third sister has always been pleasing to her mother, the fourth sister has been favored by the fourth aunt, and she has been favored by her father, and the fifth sister should also make plans for herself this morning." ”
Since ancient times, the concubines of high-ranking nobles will be married into other noble families as concubines by their mothers, saying that they are married, but in fact, they are just a chess piece abandoned in order to maintain the interests of the powerful.
Ning Wanran saw the hardships of the fifth aunt as a concubine, how could she not know that it was not easy to be a concubine with others, the fifth aunt was the concubine of the official eunuch family, and this was used by the master mother to please Ning Fanzhi and sent to the Zuo Xiangfu as a concubine, their mother and son are the three of them, this huge prime minister's mansion is simply dispensable, if it is not for the fact that the Zuo Xiangfu does not have a concubine, I am afraid that Ning Wanran and the fifth aunt will have a more difficult life.
Ning Zhiyun saw that Ning Wanran lowered her head and wanted to cry, so she knew that she remembered the difficulties between herself and her mother, and she couldn't bear to reveal her scars again, but now that the spring hunt was imminent, no matter how much she wanted to plan for Ning Wanran, she still had to ask her first if she was willing to fight.
"The words of the parents are the matchmaker, but the sister is up to the father and mother." was anxious to be asked, and Ning Wanran said this sentence timidly.
What a familiar sentence, what a familiar look of cowardice, Ning Zhiyun in the previous life is like this now, Ning Zhiyun is like this, completely entrusting her fate to others, but in exchange for half a lifetime of regret and waste.
"If you obey the orders of your parents, you will only marry into that prominent family as a concubine in the future." Ning Zhiyun looked at Ning Wanran's already pale face and continued, "Father, for Yucheng's sake, it's just to add more dowry to you." ”
"My aunt told me since I was a child that I can't compete with others, and since I can't compete, I should keep my duty, so that I can keep Yucheng and grow up safely." Ning Wanran lowered her head, but her hands were folded at the hem of her skirt.
Ning Zhixuan closed her eyes helplessly, but after opening them, she still patiently persuaded: "There is no concubine in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yucheng will inherit the family business in the future, but do you think the eldest sister or the third sister will be willing to carry Yucheng sincerely in the future, Yucheng is a concubine, and the road ahead is difficult to walk, if you give someone a concubine, where can you protect him." ”
With a bang, the blue and white porcelain cup in Ning Wanran's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several petals, you must know that Ning Zhiyun said so much that she had never been so out of shape, but it was because Yucheng was the only hope for her and the fifth aunt, but they only thought about relying on Yucheng, but they never thought that Yucheng, who was a concubine, would rely on in the future, she knew that Ning Wanhua and Ning Xinyu would not really help her younger brother who was also from a humble background.
Once upon a time, Ning Zhiyun was also full of expectations for marrying into Sumen, but at that time, she was already tired of the lonely years in Yunxi Pavilion with no end in sight, so she pinned all her hopes on Sufu.
Because she had been so longing for it, Ning Zhiyun understood more and more how desperate it would be for a person in the dark to not even see the only hope.
"I want to take my sister to Yunwu Mountain together, so I invited my sister to me at night, I want to know what my sister thinks in her heart?" Ning Zhiyun didn't hide it, but directly said the purpose of going to Yunwu Mountain, "Now my sister and I can still talk a few words with the Ninth Princess, if my sister is willing, she can go to Yunwu Mountain to fight for a good future for herself." ”
Ning Wanran's face turned pale with fright when she heard that Ning Zhixuan was going to take him to Yunwu Mountain, but when she thought of the purpose of going to Yunwu Mountain, she couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and couldn't say a word.
If it was in her previous life, Ning Zhiwen would also feel that the idea of running to Yunwu Mountain like this and fighting for a good future for herself was too shocking, but after two lives, she understood the cruelty of reality. If you lose, it's a big deal to lose your life, and it's not in vain to come to this world to win.
"The idea of going to Yunwu Mountain is indeed a bit bold, but if my sister stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will marry into a noble family in the imperial capital as a concubine at most." Ning Zhiyun took Ning Wanran's hand and said, "The fifth sister is pure-hearted, and she can play the piano well, so she should ask for a match with her favorite lover." ”
"Second sister, I'm willing to follow you." Thinking that people must be forced to make a choice when they have no way out, or marry into a noble family as a concubine, just like the fifth aunt who has been trembling all her life and living carefully. Either go to Yunwu Mountain, although the future is unpredictable, but there is still hope in the end.
Ning Zhiyun and Ning Wanran explained the rules to be followed by the spring hunt, and took out a few sets of elegant skirts and gave them to Ning Wanran, and finally asked Su Xin to quietly send her back to Cuiwei Pavilion.
After Su Xin came back from Cuiwei Pavilion, she saw Ning Zhiyun looking out the window as if she was thinking about something, so she walked to her and sat down next to her, just watching the boundless night with her, letting her thoughts wander into the distance.
After a long time, Ning Zhixuan slowly spoke: "Su Xin, is it right or wrong for you to say that I took Ning Wanran to Yunwu Mountain?" ”
"Miss doesn't want the fifth lady to marry into a noble family as a concubine in the future, and she will lose a lifetime in vain." Ning Zhiwen suffered a catastrophe in her previous life, and although she hated Bai's mother and son after being reincarnated, she wanted to do her best to help those women who had suffered misfortunes like her in her previous life.
"It's just that her temperament is too weak, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Everyone has their own fate, although it is said that the success is in the sky, something is in the person." Su Xin saw that Ning Zhixuan was thinking about it again and hurriedly interrupted her, "Now the path that Miss is going to take is dangerous and dangerous, but although it is dangerous, it may not be completely dead, if you change others, I am afraid that you will not even dare to fight with the sky." ”
Ning Zhiyun, who is a person in two lives, is the best example, the same person, but because of the bullying and suffering in the previous life, his temperament has changed greatly, and this life can fight his way out of this crisis-ridden Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Su Xin still knows me best from you." Ning Zhixuan said and leaned her head on Su Xin's shoulder, "Su Xin, only you can understand my heart by my side." ”
"Su Xin will always be by Miss's side." Ning Zhiyun may not know that there is already a person in Su Xin's heart now, because that person Su Xin began to understand Ning Zhiyun, she went all the way from being ridiculed as an alien to the identity of the current pavilion owner, from being rejected by the Su family to now being favored by Shangguan Hanyue, if Ning Zhixin's change was not witnessed by Su Xin, she really wouldn't believe that a woman in this world could change her fate with her own efforts.
"Suxin?" Ning Zhixuan saw that Su Xin didn't speak for a long time, so she turned her head sideways to look at her, but saw that there was a soft smile on the corner of her lips, and the smile was so soft that it seemed to be a gentle ripple cast on the surface of the lake.
Ning Zhixuan thought that Su Xin was also fifteen years old this year, so she joked to her: "If Su Xin has a favorite man in the future, I don't know if he will change this stuffy gourd temperament for him." ”
Su Xin thought that Ning Zhixin knew something, so she was so frightened that she immediately smiled, and said with a straight face: "Does Miss dislike Su Xin?" I don't want to stay here to please Miss. ”
Ning Zhixuan was just making fun of Su Xin casually, she knew that Su Xin had always acted calmly, so she was not as uneasy about her as Su Rui.
"Miss...... Miss ......"
Su Xin watched Ning Zhiyun recline on the soft couch and fell asleep in a daze, then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ning Zhixuan, who she had always regarded as a relative, and said silently in her heart: "Miss, I accompanied you for our love since childhood, but now it is also for myself." ”
