Chapter 96 in the birthday feast

Xiangzhi was overjoyed, hurriedly pressed the envelope tightly into his sleeve, nodded, and turned around to go to the second wife's courtyard to resume his life.

He Ningyu saw the back of the incense branch, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly to Nie Wei who was standing at the other end of the corridor.

When Nie Wei saw it, he also nodded, and the two looked at each other for a while, then turned their heads away.

He Ningyu returned to He Ningxin's house and said everything to He Ningxin. I can stay here with my sister. ”

He Ningxin heard He Ningyu's voice and raised her eyes to take a look. Seeing that she had just come in from outside, she was wearing only a cotton dress, and her elbows were white, as if she had been wearing it for a long time, and her face was frozen and purple.

He Ningxin remembered that a few days ago, her mother Xu told her about the situation in the second room intentionally or unintentionally. said that the second room really has no income, if there is no big room, it will be a problem for them to even have enough to eat, let alone make the slave and maid the master.

The big house is for the sake of a big man He Siping and the second master and a father, and he has taken care of the second room, which is already benevolent and righteous. Although Xu doesn't care about the few silvers, she also has a bottom line. You can't take their money and treat them like sheep's money.

The second wife, Lee, is such a person. He Ningxin had subsidized her a lot before she fell into the water, Xu just regarded it as doing good deeds, helping the poor, and seeing He Ningxin's actions in his eyes, and did not stop it.

Unexpectedly, the second wife, Li, was still not satisfied, and wanted to be restless. Xu told He Ningxin that the second wife Li is like this now, but because her family background is too thin. She has no ability, and she still wants to compare herself with others in everything, so she calculates and plans for others. is too greedy, and finally falls into the bottom, no matter how beautiful it is, it will seem boring and hateful.

Xu's words, He Ningxin agreed from the bottom of her heart. But she also knew that the second wife, Li's mother's family, was poor, and there was no way to do it, not hers. Maybe if the Li family's maiden family is better, the Li family will not take the money so seriously, so that the courtesy, righteousness and shame are all behind. But among the poor people, there are also poor gentlemen who do not change their will, a handful of food, a scoop of drink, even if they are in the alleys, they do not change their will.

It's just that there are too few gentlemen in this world. Most people, that is, between a gentleman and a villain. Maybe help those who can do it, and they will be farther away from the villain and closer to the gentleman.

He Ningxin thought of the clothes in the back room, and looked at He Ningyu's cold and miserable appearance of hooking his shoulders and shrinking his back, and finally felt a little unbearable.

"Fuliu, take my antique satin silver squirrel and give it to the second girl to wear." He Ningxin finally opened her mouth.

He Ningyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave He Ningxin a big gift on the kang, saying thank you, sister. Sister is a good person, and she will not regret it."

He Ningxin smiled faintly, took the big coat from Fuliu's hand, gently draped it on her body, and whispered I still have a few big furry jackets, if you don't dislike it, I will let Fuliu wrap it up and quietly send it to your yard for a while. ”

When He Ningyu heard He Ningxin's words, his eyes were red, and he took He Ningxin's hand and was speechless.

He Ningxin smiled clearly, pulled her hand out of her hand, beckoned the big girl Fuliu to her side, and whispered to pick up the few big fur jackets and leather skirts I made for the Chinese New Year last year, and quietly sent them to the second girl's house. ”

Fuliu was stunned for a moment, wanting to, but saw He Ningxin's eyes with a look of indifference, very decisive.

Fuliu endured it, bent his knees and said yes, and went to the back room to pack his baggage.

He Ningyu came to his senses, and said to Sister He Ningxin directly to give me the burden, no need to send it alone. ”

He Ningxin raised her eyebrows lightly, looked at He Ningyu, and said You really don't mind? "In the past, He Ningyu wanted both face and lining. Give it to her, but also dodge, don't let people give it to He Ningxin.

He Ningyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said he didn't mind. Do I have a good mind? - If you take so much for nothing, if you take a few more pieces, you won't have lice and no worries. "It's actually very interesting and open-minded.

He Ningxin secretly thought in her heart, No, He Ningyu is, but their friendship is also ordinary, and they can't do it to the extent that they are the same.

He Ningyu sat in the house for a while, estimated that it was almost time, got up and blessed He Ningxin, and said I am leaving, sister take care. ”

He Ningxin felt a little strange, but she didn't ask too much, and called to the back room to help the willow, pack up the baggage, and give it to me. ”

Fuliu took a jade-colored ink-colored wrapper, wrapped three or four big sweaters made last year, and took them out.

He Ningxin took the burden and stuffed it into He Ningyu's hand, and said let's put it on. After these clothes were ready, I didn't wear them, but I took them out and dried them in the summer. "These clothes were found when Fuliu packed He Ningxin's suitcase last night.

He Ningyu took the burden, glanced around reluctantly, and curtsied to He Ningxin again, Sister Dao, I'm leaving. ”

He Ningxin got up to see her off, but He Ningyu didn't let her live or die, so she stopped her and didn't let her get up.

"Sister, I'll go home, I don't have to send it here." He Ningyu said as he hugged his burden and walked out of He Ningxin's yard quickly.

He Ningxin saw He Ningyu go out of the gate like a gust of wind in the back, and it was not easy to send it again, so she looked at the window and saw that He Ningyu had already gone out of the gate and went in the direction of the second room.

Fu Liu went out and looked at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and said to He Ningxin that the second girl was really strange, and the slave saw her with her cousin Nie, turned a few corners, and went up to the second gate again. It looks like it's going out. ”

He Ningxin was also a little puzzled. However, that cousin Nie, who is a cousin with He Ningyu, is not an outsider, and he didn't take it to heart, and said to Fuliu Don't care about other people's business. Fetch some water, I'm going to freshen up and put on my makeup, and I'll be ready for dinner in a moment. ”

He Ningxin's other big girl came in from outside with her hands rubbed her hands, saluted He Ningxin, pursed her lips and said with a smile, the big girl was overjoyed. ”

Fuliu Fufeng went to the big courtyard just now, and quickly came up and asked if Jian Lao was here? ”

Fufeng looked at He Ningxin, and laughed more and more The slave maid came out of the courtyard just now, just in time for the sedan chair of the Zhenguo Mansion to come in. "It's a pity that the slave left earlier and didn't see the elder of Zhenguo with her own eyes."

Rao is He Ningxin is a human being, and his face can't help but blush, and he said angrily, Old Jian just congratulated his mother on her birthday, don't be angry. ”

Fuliu also laughed again before going out to cook water.

Here, He Ningyu put on a big hat, lowered his head and walked out of He Ningxin's courtyard, looked at Nie Wei, and walked slowly by himself.

Nie Wei saw He Ningyu come out and went this way, so he hurried a few steps and greeted him.

Seeing Nie Wei leaving, He Ningyu deliberately slowed down his pace, and asked in a low voice Are you all ready? ”

Nie Wei walked beside He Ningyu with his hands behind his back, and also replied in a low voice You have to regret it, it's still too late. ”

He Ningyu pursed his lips, with a stubborn look, and said I don't regret it. I just hope you don't blame me for getting in your way. ”

Nie Wei smiled bitterly, and said softly If I wanted to climb the high branches, I would have taken you away a long time ago, where would I have stumbled to this point? ”

When He Ningyu heard this, he only felt like a fire in his heart. These days, she has really had enough, but she is poorer and more bitter, but with her cousin, she just eats chaff vegetables, and she also feels that it is better than following a bad god to worry about it every day. - Even if she is clothed and fed, I am afraid that she is also blessed, and she has no life to enjoy.

The two turned around and walked side by side, turned around the second room a few times, and deliberately let the second wife's ears and eyes see, so they made a few turns and returned to the second door.

The mother-in-law guarding the door on the second door is now a different person, and when she saw the second girl in the second room with her cousin, she was holding a burden again, as if she was going out, and she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and asked The second girl wants to go out? ”

He Ningyu shook the burden in his hand at the doorkeeper, and said unhurriedly to send some to my cousin's house. ”

The mother-in-law on the second gate got a strict order early in the morning to watch the second gate and not allow the eldest girl and the people around the eldest girl to enter and exit. If it was a big girl, this woman would definitely not say a word, and would send someone to report the news, while blocking and not letting her go. But now it's the second girl, and maybe he didn't say that he wanted to stop the second girl......

He Ningyu saw this mother-in-law's embarrassed look, and took two steps forward to persuade her mother to raise her noble hand, I will go out earlier, and I can also congratulate my uncle on her birthday earlier. ”

Today is Xu's birthday, but the He family did not have a birthday feast in the capital with great fanfare, and the next post. Xu's maiden family is not in the capital, and the He family is thin, so they live together. Counting up, the guests who came from outside were only the old man of the Zhenguo Mansion and a few familiar Hanlin.

At this time, it was almost the beginning of noon, and the old Jian of the Zhenguo Mansion had already brought his concubine earlier, and several Hanlin families were also about to arrive.

As soon as the mother-in-law hesitated, He Ningyu found a gap and went out of the second door, turned around and bowed to the mother-in-law, and went straight to the direction of the outer courtyard.

Nie Wei also took a few steps, caught up with He Ningyu, and walked towards the corner gate next to the gate of the outer courtyard together.

The subordinates around Xu all had no silver in the second room, and there were few capable subordinates in the courtyard.

Now seeing that the second girl did not take the maid mother-in-law, she followed her cousin out of the second door, and the mother-in-law who watched the door was not only surprised, but also a little disdainful. It's just that she hasn't had time to figure out whether to report to Xu Xiaoxiao, there are already a few sedan chairs in front of her, and it seems that the promised Hanlin has arrived. The woman left the inconsequential master in the second room behind and hurriedly greeted the guests.

Here Xiangzhi replied to the second wife's yard, and the second wife Li heard that there were many maids and wives in He Ningxin's yard, and she was very nervous, so she pulled the incense branch and asked about the situation over there for a long time. Xiangzhi finally finished replying, and the more the second wife Li listened, the more she felt that there was a problem, so she got up and took the person with her, and went to He Ningxin's yard to take a look.

Xu had already ordered the people in the inner courtyard to look at the second wife, Li, and not allow her to approach He Ningxin's courtyard.

Before Li took the lead to the gate of He Ningxin's courtyard, she was stopped by several mothers-in-law, and she had a great order to salute, and the road in front of her was closed, so she couldn't leave. ”
