Chapter 425: Ning Zhiyun's Hard Years

is also the concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the second lady Ning Zhiyun always eats and drinks spicy food by herself, but she can't take out the silver to reward the people who are waiting around her, and over time, those who serve Ning Zhiyun because of their resentment, they will naturally deliberately be lazy and slack.

It's just a little trick played by the Bai family, but it made the young Ning Zhiyun suffer a lot, if it weren't for Su Xin and Su Rui's two girls by his side, Ning Zhiwen at that time was afraid that she would have to wash her clothes and clean her room herself.

For the sake of his virtuous stepmother's reputation, the Bai family would not embarrass Ning Zhiwen in terms of food and clothing, although they gave out all the monthly silver and what Ning Zhiyin deserved, but it was because the people below were deliberately lazy and could not implement it.

There are only two young ladies in the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, Ning Banghua and Ning Zhixuan, and the rest are all young ladies and sons, and because Ning Zhijun is born from the original wife, her identity should be more noble than Ning Wanhua from Xu Xian.

Therefore, every month, Ning Zhiyun's Yunxi Pavilion is the first share, whether it is the monthly silver or the things she shares, and the third lady Ning Xinyu was jealous of Ning Zhiyun because of her noble background.

If it weren't for the fact that Ning Xinyu happened to follow Ning Banghua to Yunxi Pavilion to visit her illness once, she really wouldn't have thought that Ning Zhiyu, who seemed to be well-dressed and well-fed, would actually be a little worse than the five aunts, mothers and sons of Cuiwei Pavilion.

The fifth aunt, the fifth lady and the sixth son of Cuiwei Pavilion, the subordinates will at least be afraid of Ning Fanzhi who glances at the sixth prince from time to time, but since Ye Lanshuang passed away, Ning Fanzhi has never stepped into Yunxi Pavilion again, and the old lady who lives in Ci'an House does not agree with Ning Fanzhi marrying Ye Lanshuang of the Qingliu family for generations, so naturally she doesn't even want to see Ning Zhixuan's granddaughter.

It was many years ago, when Ning Zhiyun had not yet experienced the adventure of reincarnation, and Ning Zhixuan at that time was just a kind and supple little girl like her mother.

That day, Ning Xinyu was eating an ice bowl in Ning Banghua's Qionghua Pavilion, and the summer of that year was extremely hot, and suddenly someone came in to report that Ning Zhiyu was windy, and she actually started a high fever in the middle of the night.

On that day, the Bai family happened to go to the Right Minister's Mansion to have tea with Mrs. Youxiang, but Mama Fu shirked that the old lady was unwell, so she asked her subordinates to find the eldest lady of Qionghua Pavilion to make the decision.

Ning Banghua saw that the family members in the mansion were all empty, and Ning Banghua, who had always regarded herself as the eldest sister, took Ning Xinyu to Yunxi Pavilion to visit Ning Zhixuan.

Although Ning Xinyu often stammered with Bai's mother and daughter, and the Bai family saw that Ning Xinyu was lonely and helpless, and was willing to raise her a few points, but Ning Banghua was afraid of Ning Xinyu's beauty and did not want to get too close to her.

People who don't know the inside story think that Ning Moru is more in line with the eyes of the eldest lady, but Ning Xinyu, who is in it, knows that Ning Banghua is just afraid of her beauty, so she will deliberately choose to be close to Ning Moru, who is mediocre.

At that time, Ning Banghua was only eleven or twelve years old, and Ning Xinyu was only ten years old, so naturally there were not so many twists and turns in her heart, Ning Xinyu at that time really thought that Ning Zhiyu, who was born with a strange disease, could also enjoy wealth and nobility in Yunxi Pavilion with her noble status, until she entered Yunxi Pavilion with Ning Banghua, and saw with her own eyes that although there was no shortage of food and clothing in Yunxi Pavilion, the subordinates who served Ning Zhixuan were all sneaky and slippery, and left Ning Zhixuan, who had a high fever all night, actually gathered in the courtyard and shook the dice, and when they saw Ning Banghua enter the yard, they abandoned the dice one after another, and flattered Ning Banghua to ask for peace.

Ning Banghua saw the scene of everyone in the courtyard gathering together to gamble cards, but he was not angry, but glanced at Mama Song beside her, and Mama Song immediately took a bag of silver from her arms and handed it to the housekeeper.

After the housekeeper got the money, she nodded and stammered with flattery, and then led the people back to their places.

Ning Xinyu saw that the grandmother who was waiting in Yunxi Pavilion was so lazy, and knew in her heart that Ning Zhiyu's life was actually not easy, and everything she saw next seemed to confirm Ning Xinyu's conjecture in her heart one by one.

When Ning Xinyu followed Ning Banghua into Ning Zhiyu's bedroom, she felt a cold air rushing to her face, and when she walked into it, she saw that the large glazed porcelain basin in the center of the room was full of ice cubes.

The summer of that year was extraordinarily hot, except for the Cuiwei Pavilion that was not pleasing to the left in the various rooms in the house, the rest of the rooms were all used with ice, although they were all divided into ice cubes, but the amount of them was very different, such as Qionghua Pavilion and Yunxi Pavilion naturally got the most ice cubes, followed by the Fanying Pavilion of the fourth lady who was good friends with the eldest lady Ning Banghua, and finally Ning Xinyu's Zixuan Pavilion.

For example, Ning Banghua's Qionghua Pavilion uses ice continuously for twelve hours a day, and Ning Xinyu's Zixuan Pavilion, which has the least distribution, can only use ice when taking a nap at noon and falling asleep at night, and the rest of the hours are even if they are uncomfortable in the heat, they have to be patient.

In the hot summer, you still have to wear five layers of clothes, especially during meals, because the weather is too hot, sometimes the clothes are all soaked after a lunch, so you have to order the little maid to prepare warm water and pour it into the wooden barrel, and the body will be more refreshing after bathing and changing.

Ning Xinyu still clearly remembers that in the past, when she wet her clothes because of the hot weather, Yuwei, who was waiting by her side, always looked at the direction of Qionghua Pavilion and Yunxi Pavilion with envious eyes, saying that it was good to be reincarnated is different, even if the second lady was confined in Yunxi Pavilion by Xiangye because of a strange illness, the share of the month in Yunxi Pavilion was the first among the young ladies, and it was even far better than Ning Banghua, who continued to be born.

If it is said that Ning Xinyu in the past was indeed a little envious of Ning Zhiyu, but since she saw the dilemma of Ning Zhiyu's life in Yunxi Pavilion, Ning Xinyu no longer had half of the envy, on the contrary, from that moment Ning Xinyu was also deeply afraid of the Bai family, even Ning Zhiyu, who had the identity of a concubine, was struggling under the Bai family, not to mention that she had such a beautiful appearance, but there was no biological mother to support the orphan girl on the ground.

"Miss, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Yuwei looked at Ning Xinyu, who was standing by the window and watching a round of solitary moon, without any sleepiness, so she stepped forward and put on a dress for her, "Miss, it's autumn now, and the water is heavy at night, so let's close the window." ”

"Yuwei, are you wrong to say that I chose to cling to my big sister with all my heart?" Ning Xinyu remembered a conversation with the old lady Chen during the day, and for the first time in her life, she had doubts about her choice.

"The eldest lady relies on the Bai family behind her, and now there is a mother-in-law like the imperial concubine to support her." Yu Wei stepped forward and closed the window, "It's naturally not wrong for the young lady to choose the eldest lady as a backer." ”

"Yuwei, I lost my mother since I was a child, if I hadn't been cautious everywhere and won the favor of the eldest lady, I'm afraid I would have ended up like my fourth sister." Ning Xinyu is a scheming person, who never refuses to show her weakness in front of others, but now her tone obviously contains a bit of flickering, "In fact, sometimes I envy the eldest sister and the fourth sister very much." ”

Yuwei can understand Ning Xinyu's envy of Ning Banghua, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a powerful uncle, and the imperial concubine in the palace are also related to each other, not only Ning Xinyu, I am afraid that women all over the world will envy the origin of the eldest lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, but Ning Xinyu said that she envied the fourth lady Ning Moru, Yuwei didn't know why, although the fourth miss Ning Moru said that she had a favored aunt, but she was mediocre in appearance, mediocre in qualifications and not favored by her husband's family. Even the family affairs with the Anguo Mansion were obtained by disgraceful means, not to mention that now that the fourth aunt is gone, Ning Moru will lose everything, and the future life will be much more difficult than the fifth lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

"I used to envy the origin of the eldest sister, and envy her for being born in the belly of the eldest lady." Ning Xinyu seemed to see the incomprehension in Yu Wei's eyes, so she explained, "But since I saw with my own eyes that the second sister, who was also born as a concubine, was living so hard, I know that even if she is noble, if she is not supported by her biological mother, everything is in vain, and the second sister in the past is the best example, as the daughter of the Zuo Xiangfu, her life is not as good as that of the fourth sister who is favored by her aunt." ”

Ning Zhixuan that year was obviously cold, and it seemed that it had been a high fever all night, but the subordinates still kept a large amount of ice cubes in her room for twelve hours, although the Bai family also sent Li Langzhong to prescribe medicine for Ning Zhixuan, and the subordinates did follow Li Langzhong's prescription to take the medicine, but those minions in Yunxi Pavilion refused to decoct medicine for Ning Zhixuan because of laziness.

Seeing that Ning Zhiyun's illness was getting worse, Su Xin, who was waiting by her side, had to go to the small kitchen in person, wanting to decoct medicine for Ning Zhixuan, but the firewood in the small kitchen was wet, so Su Xin had no choice but to burn several clothes as an introduction before lighting the stove.

After decocting the medicine, Su Xin was already choked by the smoke and burst into tears, it was just an ordinary boiling medicine, but Su Xin tried her best to decoct the medicine.

The decoction is still so difficult, not to mention the daily diet and daily life, although the things distributed by the Bai family to Yunxi Pavilion are the most generous among the young ladies, but they are wasted due to the negligence and slackness of the people below.
