Mother Nine looked at Ding Ning with a smile, but her words hinted at her purpose, and she said:

"Ning'er has been here for so many years, to be honest, my mother wants you to pick up guests, and my mother is really difficult to speak, hey...... My daughter, ....... ”

The ninth mother sighed for a while, it seemed that it was a sincere feeling, and if others saw her like this, they would think that the biological daughter of the ninth mother was about to enter the Qinglou.

Ding Ning knew that Mother Nine was the best at using her feelings to induce the girls in this garden, so she took the opportunity to answer:

"Wherever my mother says, there is no one who does not share the worries of his parents. My mother raised me and nurtured me, so I am what I am today, and every time Mr. Teacher praises me, I see the smile on my mother's face, and I am very happy, that is what I can do. Now that her mother has a place where she really needs Ning'er's help, how could Ning'er refuse! ”

"So you mean you're willing to pick up customers?" When Mother Nine heard Ding Ning's answer, a light flashed in her eyes, as if she saw the mountains of gold and silver in front of her, and let herself ask for them. But this light was quickly restrained by Mother Jiu, and there was only sincere pity in her eyes.

Ding Ning caught the fleeting eyes of Mother Nine, and also saw her seemingly sincere pity, Ding Ning admired Mother Nine's ability very much, she wanted to know what Mother Nine looked like under the mask of hypocrisy, she wanted to laugh, but she still forbeared, and replied to Mother Nine politely:

"Ning'er is naturally willing to do what her mother arranges."

Ding Ning's answer made Jiu's mother feel the success of her education again. The more than ten years of waiting was not in vain, but she only spent five taels of silver to buy this girl. Although it cost a lot of money to cultivate Ding Ning, he looked at Ding Ning's beautiful appearance, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... Mother Nine looked at it and thought that the Ding Ning in front of her had already turned into a small mountain of gold in her opinion, which made her overjoyed, and she couldn't help but say:

"Since Ning'er said so, then mom is ready to prepare, how about mom hang up your sign the day after tomorrow?"

Nine mothers love money Ding Ning understands, Ding Ning grasped the strength of Nine Mother's already wealth obsession, she asked Nine Mother with a little coquettishness:

"My mother has trained me for fifteen years, so did she put up a sign for me to pick up customers directly? You're more invested in me than any of my sisters! Ning'er didn't want to treat her mother's dedication badly. ”

Ding Ning's words made Jiu's mother wonder, isn't it always like this when picking up guests? What's more, this Ning'er is still a girl who can be hung with both yellow and red cards. Mother Nine didn't know what medicine Ding Ning was selling in her bones, so she asked:

"What does Ning'er mean? Any thoughts? ”

As long as Mother Nine is willing to ask, it is the fish that has taken the bait. Ding Ning thought to himself, he was one step closer to his goal, and whether he could keep his innocence as much as possible depended on the next conversation. Although Ding Ning had already made a plan in her heart, she still had to be careful step by step, she showed a look of concern for Mother Jiu, and even said in a tone full of concern:

In order to cultivate Ning'er, my mother not only spent manpower and material resources, but also spent a lot of energy, and Ning'er was very grateful. Ning Er had been hoping early on that she could exchange what she had learned for gold and silver money to repay her mother, but just picking up customers like this would inevitably make her mother lose too much. ”

Ding Ning paused when she said this, observed the expression of the ninth mother, and saw the desire of the ninth mother to listen, she continued:

"Ning'er doesn't say that her mother must know the 'Cuihong Courtyard' in this city, just relying on one girl can support an entire Qinglou."

"What Ning'er means ......" Mother Nine thought thoughtfully.

Seeing Mother Nine thinking, Ding Ning knew that she had succeeded one step further, so she further said slowly:

"Although Ning'er didn't go out of the courtyard, she also heard the old mother in the courtyard say that the girls in the 'Cuihong Courtyard' were mediocre, but not long after that, a girl named 'Xue'er' came and was beautiful. This 'Emerald Red Temple' slowly came back to life. ”

"But that won't last long, now these sons and brothers are tired of appreciating them, and they are gradually not going, so won't Xue'er also pick up customers now?"

Mother Jiu's rebuttal made Ding Ning feel a little flustered, she knew that her next words must be convincing, otherwise this old mother would not go along with her wishes.

"Mom, don't worry, Ning'er hasn't finished talking yet."

As soon as the words fell, Ding Ning was confident, looking at Mother Nine, she saw that Mother Nine seemed to want to listen, so she immediately seized the opportunity, she endured the uneasiness in her heart, and said calmly:

"Mom, I'm thinking, we have a talent show once a month, and then the Oiran in each door will show off their talents, so Mom arranged for me to appear at that time. I am still veiled with my veil, and I believe that my dancing posture and my veil will definitely arouse the curiosity and attention of many sons, and there are more people who pay attention, and word of mouth will spread the word, and those who can afford the price will naturally come to hear the news. A little temptation on my way here today has attracted a group of sons to follow my carriage here. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guy at the door to guide the guests, there must be someone looking for my sign in front of the door!"

Ding Ning's calm words revealed a confident chuckle. This gesture made Mother Nine also begin to have a plan in her heart. Ding Ning saw the soothing eyes of Mother Jiu and knew that she was one step closer to the goal, and she continued:

"Mother Nine can hang up my sign after that, and I only talk about elegance like Miss Cher. One more thing, I'm different from Cher. ”

"Which point?" Mother Nine asked a little eagerly, and she was also a little wary of Ding Ning.

Ding Ning was unhurried, and said with a smile:

"I am now more valuable than others in any way, and if my mother wants to make a lot of money, these people who step into my house naturally have to be people who can afford the price, and the price is set by my mother. I want my mother to fulfill my only one, and I have to choose my own guests, and only those I choose can enter my room. If everyone can enter my door, I will naturally lose the price. 'What you can't get is the best', I believe that my mother must understand this truth better than Ning'er. ”

When Mother Nine heard this, Ding Ning did not mean not to accept customers, and she was very happy. In the eyes of Mother Nine, Ding Ning's remarks are just the first time that a little girl wants to make herself special, not to mention that Ding Ning is so beautiful, she will definitely feel that it is a disadvantage for her to hang up a sign to pick up customers all of a sudden. Jiu's mother felt that she could understand Ding Ning's thoughts, not to mention that building momentum first and then listing could indeed bring a lot of benefits. Not only has Ding Ning been perfected, but she can also earn a lot of money, why not her ninth mother?

Ding Ning saw that Mother Nine didn't answer herself for a long time, and Mother Nine's eyes still looked like she was scheming, she was a little worried, but it didn't take long for her to hear the answer she wanted from Mother Nine's mouth:

"Okay, Ning'er chooses by herself."

Hearing the words of Mother Jiu, Ding Ning was reassured, but how many of the mothers in this land of fireworks would strictly abide by what they said, so Ding Ning added:

"Mom, can Ning'er and her mother use the evidence as evidence, it's not that Ning'er doesn't believe her mother, it's just that Ning'er still has a heartfelt word, Ning'er wants to ask her mother to fulfill Ning'er's little wish, Ning'er is now young, Ning'er wants to let more people remember herself before the old Zhu Huang, Ning'er wants more people to remember that although Ning'er is in the Qinglou, she is also a woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows ancient and modern blogs. Even if Ning Erke dies on the street in the future, there will be people who remember that this lonely woman has also lived a wonderful life. ”

Half of Ding Ning's words were his inner thoughts, and the other half was to impress Mother Nine and make Mother Nine willing to make a note for her. Mother Nine is also a person from Fengyue Place, of course she knows that the girls in this green building are most afraid of their own people, Lao Zhu Huangke, and die in a foreign land.

Mother Nine saw Ding Ning say so much tears, sincere words, and saw the pitiful expectation in her eyes, after all, this is the child she has raised for fifteen years, plus, Ding Ning adjusted the appetite of the guests, and the guests would pay more money to buy Ding Ning, how could she not do this money-making thing. But the treacherous she also knew that she couldn't let Ding Ning keep picking like this without restrictions, so she pretended to care, but gave Ding Ning a time:

"Mom, I naturally understand my daughter's thoughts, how about I promise to give you five years, if you keep picking like this, there will always be a better girl than you, and then you can only accept your fate."

Ding Ning is happy even if she gets a year, she believes that she will definitely be able to pick someone who can take her away, as long as she can leave here. So Ding Ning agreed to the conditions of the ninth mother without hesitation:

"My daughter thanked her mother for her success."

After speaking, the two made a note, and the two agreed that if Jiu's mother violated the agreement, Ding Ning could return to live in the next room of the old mansion when he was old. This agreement was nothing to Mother Nine, and she signed it immediately. Mother Nine also had to greet the guests in the front yard, and after making the note, she arranged for Ding Ning to prepare this month's display dance, and then hurried to the front yard.

Seeing Mother Nine walking away, Ding Ning breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair all of a slump. Although it was only five years, it at least gave her a respite, and she must have carefully selected each of her guests during these five years, and then found a chance to leave here.

But who can predict the future? In the past few years, although she has only come to Chunmange for two hours every month, the information she has seen and heard in these two hours is sometimes so big that she has to digest it for several days. She has expectations for the future, but she doesn't dare to report hopes, and she has done her best to take the step ahead.

The girl looked at her young lady's blank eyes, and wondered:

"Mom cares so much about Miss, why does Miss seem to have lost her soul when Mom leaves? It doesn't seem to have any strength at all. Isn't Miss supposed to be happy? ”

Ding Ning looked at the girl's silly appearance, and said with a shallow smile:

"Do you think mom is good to you?"

"Of course it's okay, I didn't eat or wear before, but now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there is such a good-tempered young lady, I think this is a blessing from God."

The girl said a lot of words, Ding Ning looked at the way she spoke, and began to be a little envious - what if she didn't look good, what if she was silly and stupid, the girl who might be the most comfortable in this yard was the girl, no one would think about wanting to possess her, and no one would want to deliberately lead her into the game. Ding Ning felt that she seemed to want to care more about the little sister in front of her, and she asked:

"Do you remember how many years you've been with me?"

"Five years, miss, this season is exactly five years."

"How do you remember so clearly?" Ding Ning asked curiously.

"When my mother bought me and went back to you to be a maid, I was 8 years old, and it was also such a season of cherry blossoms, I was very hungry and went to pick up cherry petals to eat."

Hearing the girl's words, Ding Ning's heart was even more sore, although she had never had the memory of starvation, but she also had indescribable empathy. She looked at the girl and said:

"Did the girl have a name before?"

"No, I've been sold too many times, I just remember everyone calling me 'girl'."

"So, how about I give the girl a name?"

The girl looked at her young lady with straight eyes, and she didn't know whether she was moved or confused. Seeing this, Ding Ning smiled and added:

"I'll give you a name, from now on, whoever sees you can just say your name, and no one will call you 'girl' perfunctory, in the future, I will be your lady in the façade, and you can just call me sister in private, okay?"

The girl listened to Ding Ning's words, and was stunned, looking dumbfounded.

Seeing her like this, Ding Ning said directly: "I'll just call you 'happy', okay?" You are the most carefree in this yard. ”

"Seriously, Miss?"

"Nature."

"My name is 'Joy'?"

"Yes!"

"I have a name?"

"Yes!"

Huanxi knew that she had a name, so she naturally looked happy, she didn't dare to cheer out loudly, and quietly repeated "I have a name!" I have a name! After thinking about it, she seemed to think of her benefactor, and looked at Ding Ning happily and said:

"I'm going to make tea for Miss, thank you, Miss."

As he spoke, he stumbled out happily and said, "My young lady has named me, and from now on I will be called 'Huanxi'." ”

Ding Ning looked at Huanxi's stumbling appearance, and also rejoiced, seeing Huanxi go away, her heart was pulled back to reality, and she had to start planning for the month she had won so hard.
