Chapter 3 Encounter

Since my mother left last time, she has not come to Ding Ning's "Listening to Yuxuan" for several days, nor has she sent anyone to listen to Yuxuan staring at Ding Ning to rehearse the dance. Ding Ning's yard was clean, but she began to worry - it would be good for Mother Nine to come, if she didn't come, it would be difficult for her to guess what Mother Nine had planned. She lives every day here, for fear that one day Jiu's mother will break the agreement between the two and let her pick up customers directly.

Ding Ning was thinking about it, sighed, and the little girl ran in happily to report the good news:

"Miss, Miss, good news, good news!"

Seeing Huanxi's happy appearance, Ding Ning's mood was not so complicated, and she smiled faintly:

"What's the good news for rejoicing?"

"Miss, let's go out for a walk."

"Huh? What do you mean? Ding Ning was puzzled at this moment.

Huanxi saw the puzzled look of his young lady, and hurriedly explained:

"Just now, a little girl brought a message from her mother, saying that the lilac girl in the front yard promised to pick up guests tonight, and my mother was very happy, saying that the girls who were physically inconvenient to pick up guests tonight could go out on their own, but before going out, they had to report to the ninth mother and bring a little girl to follow."

"Really? Don't be a little girl looking for you to be happy, just talk nonsense. Ding Ning couldn't believe it.

"What's fake! I snuck into the front yard to investigate. ”

Ding Ning stared at the joy in front of him with a smile, and secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that this silly little girl also had shrewd times. Thinking so, Ding Ning said happily:

"Huanxi, this is trying to go out for a walk?"

"Doesn't Miss want to? Listening to Yuxuan here every day, I think you're going to get sick. Sometimes I see you sitting alone in the room, neither reading nor drawing, nor playing the piano. Huanxi looked anxious, I just heard the news that I could go out, I was happy, isn't Miss happy? ”

"That'...... Shall we report to our mother? Ding Ning smiled lightly and looked at Huanxi. To be honest, she also wants to go out for a walk, not to attract the attention of passers-by this time, but just to be able to breathe outside happily.

Huanxi heard Ding Ning's words, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she immediately pulled her young lady to the ninth mother's house. Ding Ning was pulled by her and reminded:

"Rejoice, slow down, I'm afraid of falling, slow down."

"Uh-huh......" Huanxi agreed, but still quickened his pace, and his impatience was like an arrow that shot out, and he would not slow down and stop unless he reached the target.

Ding Ning was dragged by Huanxi and ran to the yard of the ninth mother. When Mother Nine saw Ding Ning being pulled and stumbling, her face immediately became unpleasant, and she said:

"The girl is just serving your young lady? How can you take her so stumbling around like this! ”

Before Ding Ning could speak, the girl hurriedly admitted her mistake and explained:

"The girl knows it's wrong, don't blame the young lady, the young lady loves the girl very much, and she named the girl a few days ago, and the girl is now called 'Huanxi'."

Mother Nine glanced at Huanxi, looked at Ding Ning and said:

"It's okay for you to cherish your maid mother, but you still need some strict attitude to manage the maid well. Pulling you around so unruly, so that others can see it, what is the difference between it and those wooden sign houses. You're one of my trump cards. ”

Hearing Mother Jiu's words and tone, Ding Ning immediately calmed down, and said in a gentle and humble tone:

"Mom is right, this girl told me to be used to no rules on weekdays, and when I went back, I punished her for kneeling for two hours to reflect on herself."

Seeing Ding Ning's appearance, Mother Nine seemed to know that she was wrong, so she stopped attacking, took Ding Ning's hand and sat down in the back room and said:

"You've just arrived, I'm going to look for you in your yard."

"Does mom have any arrangements for Ning'er? Mom just called the little maid to inform her, Mom is old and has to be busy with things in the front yard, Ning'er doesn't dare to bother Mom. ”

Seeing that the child she cultivated by herself was so sensible and well-behaved, Mother Nine was still very warm-hearted, but this heart-warming was only for a moment, she would not forget what she wanted Ding Ning to do today, so she smiled:

"Ning'er remembers the agreement between us?"

Seeing Mother Jiu's eyes that were filled with money and lost her true colors, Ding Ning forced a smile and replied respectfully:

"Ning'er naturally takes it to heart."

Seeing Ding Ning's filial appearance, Mother Nine continued:

"Ning'er, Mother Nine is going to cry to death these days, your sister Lilac is reluctant to pick up guests, Mother Nine has been persuading for a long time, no, she figured it out today, and took the initiative to call the maid to tell me that she was willing to pick up guests, I am happy."

Ding Ning heard what Mother Nine said, and she knew in her heart that she must have gone out today with a task, which was very easy. Seeing Ding Ning's expression, Mother Nine seemed to know about it, and continued:

"Today, I asked the little maids in the yard to inform the courtyards next to each other, and the girls who are not feeling well and can't pick up guests can take leave from me and go out for a walk." Mother Jiu's eyes rolled and then she continued, "I think, this is a good opportunity, Ning'er can take this opportunity to go around the street, first, to see if there are any things in her house that need to be added, and second, to build momentum for yourself." ”

How could Ding Ning not know what Mother Nine meant, didn't she just want her to go to the street to hook up with sons from all walks of life. Ding Ning secretly laughed in her heart, such a dirty thing has become what she has to do now. Originally, she only wanted Mother Nine to spread the word outside, but now it seems that Mother Nine saw the desire of men outside for her, and when she thought about it, someone must have asked Mother Nine to make a price, and Mother Nine wanted more, so she wanted to go to the street to build momentum by herself.

Can Ding Ning not agree? Obviously, no. So Ding Ning could only reply respectfully:

"Although Huanxi is silly, she also knows that this is my chance, so she hurriedly pulled me over to take my mother's leave. We thought of going with my mother, Ning'er went back to prepare, and asked my mother to arrange for the little girl to follow Ning'er, Ning'er stayed in the yard for a long time, and was a little scared when she went out. ”

Mother Nine once again applauded the success of her education, this little girl was obviously afraid that these girls would run away when they went out, but this method turned out to be a natural protection when it came to Ding Ning, Mother Nine looked at this child who knew the courtesy, and said happily:

"Mom has already prepared for Ning'er, and the little ones may have come to your yard and waited at this time, go quickly."

Ding Ning got up to say goodbye to his mother and walked to his yard with Huanxi, and on the way, Huanxi was very surprised and said to Ding Ning:

"Miss, Mother Nine's mouth is really powerful, she can persuade the lilac girl to pick up the guest, I heard the apricot in the lilac yard say that her girl has died several times for this matter, but she is a fierce child."

Ding Ning didn't know if she should be happy for this stupid girl, but she still reminded Huanxi:

"If you'd rather die than obey Mother Jiu's wishes, then why would you change your mind?"

"So, Huanxi really thinks that Mother Nine is amazing."

Hearing Huanxi's answer, Ding Ning really felt speechless. is such a simple-hearted girl, she saves a lot of worry by her side. After thinking about it, Ding Ning smiled again and asked:

"Then Huanxi thinks that Mother Nine is a powerful method?"

"Mother Nine speaks very well, you can see that every girl is obedient to her mouth."

"Huanxi, do you really think that Mother Nine is just that mouth?"

"Or else?" Huanxi looked at her girl stupidly, wondering what else was so powerful about Mother Jiu.

"This Luo Da Chun Man Pavilion, every courtyard and every house is inhabited, but there is a vacant place, where is it?"

Ding Ning patiently asked his little girl, thought about it happily, found the answer, and said happily:

"Wandering."

Hearing Huanxi's answer, Ding Ning looked at her with a smile and said:

"My little joy isn't stupid, so why don't people live there?"

"Come to think of it, it should be that Mother Nine likes it very much, and she is reluctant to let people take it up."

Ding Ning really had no choice but to take this little girl, so he planned to tell her the truth directly, and said with a deep breath:

"In my heart, how about I compare myself with the Lilac girl?"

"Lilac girl is not as good as a girl in terms of appearance or knowledge, but this lilac girl is just condescending to a girl. The girl came first, the lilac girl was second, and the peony girl was third. ”

"It seems that Huanxi still has a number in his heart!"

Seeing the approving eyes of his own young lady, he smiled happily and scratched the back of his head.

Ding Ning smiled lightly, glanced at Huanxi, and continued:

"Let me ask you, what color is the sign that Mother Nine put on the cloves this morning?"

"Red!"

Answering, Joy seemed to sense something, and asked:

"Miss, no, why isn't it a yellow card, Miss Peony is a yellow card girl, Lilac girl is much more beautiful and knowledgeable than her, Lilac girl should also be a yellow card girl."

"You little girl still know the truth, will Mother Nine not know?"

"That ......"

Huanxi was really puzzled. The quilt in my head called Miss said it was a mess. Seeing Huanxi's incomprehensible look, Ding Ning looked at Huanxi seriously and said:

"Huanxi, what I said next is very serious, you have to keep it in mind, and all the conversation between us will stop at the two of us, and we can't let a third person know."

"Although Huanxi was bought by Jiu's mother, Huanxi knows that whoever she follows belongs only to whom, and Huanxi belongs to Miss."

Receiving a happy and affirmative look, Ding Ning continued:

"Listen, that 'Easy House' is the 'Female Training Institute' of Chunman Pavilion. Today, the ninth mother hung up the red card of cloves, thinking about it, the ninth mother must have no way to take the cloves, so she brought the cloves to the 'free house' in the past few days to be tortured. I guessed that Lilac must have been tortured to no avail, and in the end she was broken by Jiu's mother, and there was no way out, so Lilac agreed to pick up the guest out of desperation. Since she was listed after someone broke her body, she naturally couldn't hang a yellow card, so Jiu's mother hung a red card for her. ”

After Ding Ning finished speaking, she looked at the little girl who was holding her beside her without saying a word, she really wanted to comfort her with words, but she wanted to let this girl know something, and finally decided to let Huanxi digest it herself.

Ding Ning and Huanxi did not communicate a word on the next part of the road, Huanxi continued to be in a stupid daze, and Ding Ning was thinking about the itinerary outside for a while.

When the two arrived at Tingyuxuan, the two little servants saluted:

"Say hello to Miss Ding Ning, the two of us were arranged by Mother Nine to accompany Miss out."

"You stay guard outside this door, and Huanxi and I will go into the house to freshen up and go out."

Ding Ning's words didn't carry any emotion, and he couldn't see any attitude. It's just that there is an irritability in her heart that is suppressed by herself.

Huanxi helped his own young lady into the house.

Ding Ning changed into the pink dress she wore that day, and walked out of Tingyuxuan with a light veil to hide her face, and the two little guys waiting at the door couldn't help but look dumbfounded-this ...... Isn't this the young lady that those sons have been asking about these days? I'm really looking for the girl in our yard. A little guy took the initiative to interrupt his thoughts and said to Ding Ning:

"Miss Ding Ning, Mother Nine said, today's temple fair is really lively, let's take Miss to see, Miss lives in the courtyard all the year round, I have never seen it, Mother Nine is very guilty."

Ding Ning secretly satirized the hypocrisy of Mother Nine in his heart, but he could only say in his mouth:

"Thank you for your concern, then there will be two Lao to guide the way. There are a lot of people today, and it is inconvenient to take a carriage, so let's walk. ”

"Let's listen to Miss's arrangement."

A group of four people went out, there were lantern riddles at the temple fair at night, the most lively, it was still early, and there were not so many people on the street, so walking on the street, Ding Ning's pink dress was really eye-catching, and some people who remembered were still discussing whether the girl in front of them was the pink girl that day.

The temple fair will be the most lively at night, so Ding Ning let the little guy find the most expensive and highest restaurant in the city, and a few people sat down on the top floor of the restaurant to rest.

Ding Ning stood by the fence of the restaurant and looked at it from afar, she saw a lake that she had never seen before, and the lake was much more beautiful and delicate than in the poem. She saw the mountains in the distance, and the greenery that Danqing could not describe. In and out of the bustling crowd, all kinds of small goods, everyone lives at ease, the rich have the fun of the rich, and the poor have the freedom of the poor. Looking at it, Ding Ning began to fantasize about what it would be like if he was also comfortable living.

Just as he was thinking, this thought was interrupted by a boring greeting:

"Miss, Xiaosheng is so polite!"

Ding Ning came back to his senses from his reverie, glanced at the person in front of him, and politely returned the salute, but he didn't say a word and continued to look into the distance. The boy saw that he was bored but had no intention of leaving, and said:

"Is this looking at the scenery, or is it looking at the pedestrians? I saw that the young lady could see that she was divine. ”

I don't know why, Ding Ning just felt that although the person in front of her was a rich master, he was not a master who could take her away from the Qinglou, she didn't want to deal with him, but she also felt that there was no need to offend a person who could become the owner of the Nine Mothers, so as not to make herself bored in the future. He replied politely:

"It's people who look at it, and it's also scenery that you see, and you and I are not also a landscape in the eyes of others?"

Ding Ning's voice was so good that he forgot to listen to what she said, and only looked directly at her shadowy little mouth, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. But this boy didn't know that his subtle movements actually made Ding Ning sick to his stomach, but he could only suppress himself.

"The girl was looking upstairs looking at the scenery, but I only saw the girl when I was looking at the scenery upstairs."

Ding Ning turned his eyes and saw a man in a blue robe, dressed as a businessman, with handsome facial features and a long body, an innate overwhelming momentum, with an evil smile, but it was impossible to see through.

Ding Ning smiled lightly and saluted, and he had already classified him as a swinger in his heart.

"Miss, don't blame me for being frivolous, it's just that Miss's mannerisms and deeds are really charming, I just feel it." The blue-robed man stepped forward and explained.

Ding Ning didn't want to talk to the two of them, so he respectfully walked towards his table after his luggage, leaving only the two men looking at each other.

The blue-robed man looked at Ding Ning, who turned to leave, and couldn't help but smile lightly:

"Interesting ......"

"But you want to know the origin of this woman?" The attendant beside the blue-robed man saw his master's reaction and asked wittily.

"Don't worry, I still want to play more with her, and I still have a ...... tonight"

As he spoke, the man burst into a vague smile.
