Chapter 48: Ning Mansion (8)

When the old lady saw Ning Fold in, she got up and took his hand, and Mama Guo on the side saw that her eyesight was excellent and immediately came to help. The old lady looked at her grandson and said with a smile in her eyes: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I've lost weight, if you don't still think about letting your little fiancΓ©e accompany your grandmother, grandmother only forgets me as an old woman." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhi glanced at Xianchen very quickly, and immediately avoided her eyes without waiting for Xianchen to respond, and Xianchen's expression had to freeze on his face in embarrassment. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they didn't want this Miss Yan to be so close to the old lady without showing her face.

"My grandson has been busy with official business recently, and it is all my grandson's fault." Ning Zhen helped the old lady to sit down.

"It doesn't matter, a good man should make a contribution. I'm happy to have Slim Dust with me. The old lady beckoned to Xianchen to go over, and Xianchen obediently stepped forward, and the old lady took her hand and sat on the other side, and said to Princess Anping: "If you want me to say that the two of you and your wife are also good at this Zhuang marriage, you must choose such a simple and good character to be the housekeeper and the queen house can be harmonious." There is another thing, don't always think about getting married to the people who are in power or relatives of the emperor, the Ning family is already prosperous like this, what else do you want? The fire cooking oil looks like a brocade of flowers, but I don't know the truth that prosperity must decline. Enough is enough, and contentment is always happy! After that, the old lady looked at Meng Zhiyue again, and Meng Zhiyue was still smiling kindly.

"That's what Mother said." Princess Anping listened respectfully, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

The old lady sent everyone out after a few words of greeting or explanation, and ordered the crooked-eyed maid to lead Miss Nine to copy the Buddhist scriptures, leaving only Ning Zhe and Xianchen to talk. Princess Anping and the others said goodbye without smiling and went out without mentioning it.

The old lady pulled the sachet and said, "Show me the sachet that Miss Meng gave you." ”

"It's okay for the old lady to take a look at me, I'm a person who doesn't understand spices." Xianchen opened the sachet and put it up.

The old lady took out some with a small spoon and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and then dipped some of her fingertips into some and slowly grinded it a few times, and looked at it a few times. Then he handed it to Mama Guo, and Mama Guo also checked it and said, "It's the fragrance in the goose pear tent." One or two agarwood, one penny of sandalwood, ten goose pears. The right is carved with goose pear to remove the kernel, such as the shape of an urn, into the end of incense, and still cover the top of the pear. Steamed three slips, remove the pear skin, grind and make it even, long simmering, can be cooked. ”

"Mama Guo is well-informed, and Xianchen has been taught."

"Miss Yan has won the award." Mama Guo was praised a little uncomfortable.

"This incense has a calming effect, it is extremely rare, my wife is careful." Only then did the old lady put her mind at ease, and only then did she look at Meng Zhiyue, and she saw the calculation in her autumn-like eyes. Turning his head, he saw that Ning was stunned and didn't say a word, so he said angrily: "How can you be like a goose, a daughter of Xianchen is not as awkward as you." ”

Ning Zhe woke up like a dream and said: "Fang Cai's father explained a very tricky matter, and his grandson was distracted for a while. Ning Zhe never gave Xianchen a look from beginning to end, and Xianchen, who had always been very aggressive, also sensed that something was wrong.

The old lady didn't stay long as he remembered his business, and after a little chatter, she sent the two of them out. The two of them walked side by side in front, and the maids and boys followed behind, and Xianchen saw that Ning was sullen, and thought of his own goodness, so he asked with concern: "Is the errand that Lord Shoufu has given is really so tricky?" It makes you frown. ”

"Yes, it's tricky." Ning Zhen sighed.

"You have done it to envoy Pakistan and break the alliance between Bachu and Chu, what else is so difficult to get you?"

"This matter ......" Ning Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xian Chen, and said solemnly: "Yan Yue, do you believe me?" ”

Xian Chen thought about the past, Ning Zhen was really good to her, so she nodded.

"Well, I want you to remember that whatever I do is to defend you, and you, like my parents, are the people I cherish most in this world." Ning Zhen looked at Xian Chen with that affectionate look again, but today he was more determined.

"What are you going to do? Something to do with me? ”

"It's okay, you believe in me, I can handle everything well, I will definitely ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life, and always be that frank and sincere Yan Yue."

Xian Chen didn't understand why Ning Zhe said such a sensual thing, but his heart was still warm, and he said with an affirmative look: "Master Hou can do anything. Just ......"

"Just what?" Ning Zhe heard this turn, and his heartbeat actually accelerated by half a beat.

"It's just that you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, I can protect myself, and I will stick to my heart."

"Hmm. I know. He knew early on that Xianchen was not an ordinary weak woman, but was her non-attachment really just because of independence? Thinking of his father's entrustment today, Ning Zhen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Ning Fei sent Xianchen outside the Orange Huai Pavilion and went back. The three of them, Xian Chen, Rose, and Xiao Yuer played and pushed the door in, and were immediately attracted by a fragrance, and there was indeed a pot of flowers on the shelf, with large leaves and small flowers, and slender petals that were pale yellow. Although the flowers are inconspicuous, the smell is strong and fragrant, and the whole room is already filled with a faint fragrance at this moment. Xianchen asked the little maid at the door where the flowers came from, and the little maid replied: "Miss Meng sent someone to send them, saying that every lady in the house has them." ”

After the little maid went out, the rose circled around this flower for a long time, and suddenly said: "The slave maid said that this flower is a little familiar, it turns out that the old lady of the Xiao family gave our wife a plant last year, this flower is called ylang-ylang, and the fragrance is very strong." ”

"Ylang-ylang ......" Xianchen pondered hard, why did he feel that this term was so familiar, "the fragrant ...... in the goose pear tent" Xianchen muttered to himself and repeated the two names, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

During dinner, Xianchen and Meng Zhiyue did not go to the flower hall of An Ruodian, Princess Anping was very worried about the two of them, and was just about to get up to ask, when she heard a mother-in-law come to report: "Madam, it's not good, Miss Yan locked herself in the room, the door was locked, and the maid should not knock on the door outside." ”

Princess Anping was not flustered when she heard this, but said, "Let's go, go over and take a look." Miss Yan is a distinguished guest in the house, so it's better not to have anything happen. With that, he led a group of people to the Orange Huai Pavilion.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw that the orange Huai Pavilion was in a mess, Ning Luotong took his subordinates to knock on the door outside the small courtyard, and Rose was also locked outside, so anxious that she shed tears, and when she saw Princess Anping coming to inquire about the situation, she didn't care about saluting and replied in a panic: "It's okay, I was saying that I changed my clothes and went to dinner, Xiao Yu'er waited for my young lady to change clothes, but there was no response for a long time, and there was a small and fragmented sound inside, the slave knocked on the door and no one answered, and the door was also tied from the inside, and the slave and maid were afraid for a while and went to report Miss Ning......"

Ning Luotong added to Princess Anping: "I heard this girl's report and hurried over, as she said, Pinlan went to knock on the door and no one responded. ”

"Go find a few in-laws who are urging you to come and knock the door open for me." Princess Anping commanded.

Not long after, seven or eight big-shouldered and fat mothers-in-law came and slammed into the door, the door creaked a few times, and it was knocked open with a "bang".
