Chapter 145: A Friend Who Suddenly Came to the Door
Tong Zhinuo still got up very early that morning, and as usual, she went to the yard to supervise the work of those subordinates.
After a while, I saw the housekeeper running over in a hurry, and when he was out of breath, he began to say, "Miss, someone at the door said that it was Madame's old friend and wanted to see you." ”
Tong Zhinuo frowned, because she only heard the housekeeper say that someone wanted to see her, and she couldn't hear what was said later, so she said to the housekeeper: "You take a breath first, I can't hear what you said." ”
After listening to this, the housekeeper turned his back and slowed down, and then said: "Miss, there is a mother and son at the door who ask to see me, and the lady said that she is an old friend of the lady and wants to see you, I can't stop it, look at this..."
When Tong Zhinuo heard this, she was quite puzzled, she couldn't think of who it would be for a while. But for the sake of my mother's face, I'd better meet myself.
Then, Tong Zhinuo said to the housekeeper, "Take her to the front hall and wait." After saying that, Tong Zhinuo turned around and left.
The butler, who had received the order, then went to the door and invited the waiting mother and son in.
Tong Zhinuo returned to the courtyard and changed his clothes, and went directly to the front hall.
When they got to the antechamber, they were already seated.
Tong Zhinuo over there had just invited the guests to the front hall, and Ruan Shi here got the news.
In fact, as early as when the housekeeper went to tell Tong Zhinuo, the Ruan family already knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart. Because Ruan felt that a cautious person like Tong Zhinuo would not let someone from an unknown place into the mansion, but today I don't know how, he actually let people in, which is really incredible.
Ruan thought that it was better for him to wait and see what happened, so that the fire would not burn on him.
Here, Tong Zhinuo went to the front hall and saw the person coming, and he didn't figure out who it was after thinking for a long time.
After Ning Shi saw Tong Zhinuo looking at his unfamiliar gaze, he walked over and took Tong Zhinuo's hand and said: "Nuo'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown into a big girl, look at you like this, you are three points more handsome than your mother back then, and you are her daughter at first glance." ”
Tong Zhinuo first disliked her being so enthusiastic about herself as soon as she came up, and she didn't like her flattering appearance, but knowing that she was an old friend of her mother, it was difficult to say anything.
Ning Shi looked at Tong Zhinuo and still didn't have much reaction and said, "Look at my memory, I am Ning, your mother's former close friend." ”
Hearing this, Tong Zhinuo's expression loosened slightly.
Ning Shi saw that Tong Zhinuo's expression was relaxed, and said, "Nuo'er, I also came to your house to see you when you were very young?" Don't you remember? ”
Tong Zhinuo frowned slightly, his mind kept recalling, and he always felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
I haven't seen it for a long time, and besides, I've been reborn and come back, and my memory is not very complete, and there are many places that I don't remember.
But looking at the person in front of him, he spoke so kindly to himself, thinking that he must not be a bad person, but who could it be?
Ning Shi looked at Tong Zhinuo who couldn't remember it for a long time, and he was also very anxious, "Nuo'er, can't you remember?" Did your mother often bring you to our house to play? You always remember this, right? ”
Tong Zhinuo was a little impressed, looked at the man who had been standing behind Ning, and said with a guessful expression: "This is the person who played with me when I was a child!"
Seeing that Tong Zhinuo had some impressions, Ning was very pleased, and hurriedly took Tong Zhinuo's hand happily and said, "Yes, yes!" He is your brother Ming. ”
"Brother Ming?" Tong Zhinuo looked surprised.
Ning hurriedly turned around and gave Ji Minglou a look, and Ji Minglou stepped forward and said, "Nuo'er, do you remember me?"
Tong Zhinuo reached out and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said weakly: "I'm not too impressed."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll remember it after a long time." Ji Minglou said indifferently.
Tong Zhinuo wondered, after a long time, he remembered that what was the purpose of their women suddenly coming to Tong's Mansion?
Seeing that Tong Zhinuo had changed so much, Ning secretly had a small calculation in his heart, just with her relationship with Tong Zhinuo's mother, Tong Zhinuo would definitely help him.
"No'er, let's go to your courtyard and talk! It's been a little bit bad here. Ning stood up as he spoke, and followed Ji Minglou over......
Tong Zhinuo originally planned to refuse, he didn't know the purpose of their coming, if he went to his own courtyard, they would say anything if they didn't have anything, who knows what was going on?
But seeing that both of them had taken a few steps, Tong Zhinuo could only compromise......
Several people came to Tong Zhinuo's courtyard, and Tong Zhinuo asked Mama Li to prepare tea and pastries, and sat there waiting for them to speak.
Ji Minglou has been walking around the courtyard, and he doesn't know who is doing what, saying that he is looking for something and it doesn't look like it, saying that he is not looking for something! But I kept looking at this and that.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ning family was here, Tong Zhinuo really wanted to go up and ask him what he wanted to do, but what did he have to do here, and some things were not easy to say.
Ning sat for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Nuo'er, who is in charge of the affairs of your Tong Mansion?"
Tong Zhinuo said lightly: "I was my mother before, and now I'm in charge, what's wrong?"
"That's good, that's good." Ning said with a relieved face......
Tong Zhinuo asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Only then did Ning Shi say reassuringly: "That's the case, something happened in the Ji Mansion during this time, can you let me and your brother Ming live in the Tong Mansion for a while."
"What happened to the Ji Mansion?" Tong Zhinuo asked lightly.
Ning's eyes were a little evasive and said, "Nuo'er, this is a matter in our family, it's inconvenient for me to tell you!"
"Yes! But how long do you want to stay in Tongfu? Tong Zhinuo still looked indifferent.
"I can't tell, it shouldn't be too long." Ning looked helpless.
Tong Zhinuo didn't speak, thought for a while, and suddenly understood the purpose of this woman's coming here, indirectly to come to see herself, and directly to find a place to live.
But what makes Tong Zhinuo wonder is that Ji Fu really had an accident, or is it because of something else? Does she want someone to investigate this matter?
If it's just a few days, it's really nothing......
But if Tong Zhinuo, who has been too long, is afraid that the Ruan family will see that there is nothing to do, after all, this time has finally calmed down, and she doesn't want to cause trouble anymore.
