And Jing Ning here didn't know that Xiao Rin was still watching her silently behind.

Jing Ning never thought that Xiao Rin, a person with such an indifferent nature, would look at him differently.

"Wen Xing, let's go say goodbye to the princess. Go home first. ”

Saying that, Jing Ning casually stopped a maid with a fruit plate, "Princess Lu, where are they now?" ”

"Back to Miss Zheng." The maidservant gave a salute: "Princess Lu and the ladies are enjoying the scenery in the pavilion in the center of the garden. The slave maid is about to give fruit to the princess and the ladies, if the young lady does not dislike it, please let the slave maid lead the way. ”

Jing Ning nodded slightly, "Then it's troublesome." ”

"It's an honor to be able to lead the way for Miss Zheng." Xu was considering that he was leading the way for the young lady of your family, and the slave and maid who led the way were obviously much slower than before. Jing Ning didn't pay attention to these, and was directly led by the maid to change clothes when he fell into the water and was rescued ashore. Jing Ning didn't take a good look at the scenery in this garden. The maidservant girl who led the way was not fast, just as Jing Ning wanted, and just let the county lord of Huanting suffer a loss, Jing Ning was in a better mood, and happily enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the garden while walking.

In summer, it is the season of lush flowers and trees, and the plants in this garden are obviously carefully cared for, and they bloom more luxuriantly than most wealthy homes, and even some varieties are not appreciated by ordinary people in their lifetime. Jing Ning looked at the flowers blooming wantonly in the garden, some of them were seasonal and precious varieties, and some varieties were not even famous by Jing Ning.

Suddenly, Jing Ning stopped and stared at the begonias that were specially circled into a circle next to him and bloomed beautifully, looking at this begonia, Jing Ning was secretly taken aback, this variety of begonia should have been opened in spring and withered in spring. Spring blooms beautifully, but it is not easy to feed, and spring is not suitable for feeding, and besides, it is not in season. It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Lu loves this kind of begonia very much, the emperor and the prince of Lu are filial, and they have planted a large number of them for the Queen Mother, and even found someone to take care of them, but no matter how well they are cared for, they all wither in the summer. Since then, this variety of begonias has been considered by the common people to be seen only in spring. Jing Ning never expected that she would see this variety of begonias here, still in summer.

The maidservant who led the way didn't hear the footsteps following behind her, so she couldn't help but stop, "Miss Zheng? ”

Jing Ning seemed to be awakened, "This flower is so beautiful, I was fascinated by it." The princess often comes to this garden? ”

"Miss Zheng is not fascinated by this flower alone, how many noble ladies will be fascinated when they look at it, and even ah, even the princess has been fascinated by the flowers raised by the princess and praised them again and again." The maidservant smiled and said, evidently very proud of the flowers in the garden. "The princess sent someone to take care of this garden, and she would come here every once in a while to enjoy the flowers, and occasionally held a flower-viewing party to invite the ladies and eldest ladies to enjoy the flowers."

"Well, I can see that Princess Lu is very attentive to the flowers here." Jing Ning looked at the fruit plate held by the maidservant and her slightly anxious expression, and said thoughtfully: "Presumably the princess is in a hurry, let's go faster." The maid smiled gratefully at Jing Ning and sped up.

Although Jing Ning didn't have time to admire the flowers next to the two lanes, he could also see that the road from the entrance of the garden to the pavilion in the center of the garden was full of flowers. And there are many roads leading to the pavilion in the center of the garden, and I am afraid that they are all planted with flowers, and along the way, the varieties of flowers are not the same. Jing Ning secretly spoke, this Princess Lu is so generous.

When he walked to the front of the pavilion, Jing Ning found that the pavilion was full of ladies, and most of them were the wives of officials of the third rank and above, and the ladies in Beijing were also invited by Princess Lu.

In the face of so many elders, Jing Ning did not show the slightest timidity, and his manners were very downright and generous, "Jing Ning meets the princess and the ladies." ”

Princess Lu was very satisfied with Jing Ning's movements, although this Miss Prime Minister's Mansion had not been personally educated by the Prime Minister's wife since she was a child, but the etiquette that this Prime Minister's Mansion should have was not lost in the slightest, anyway, it was even more generous and cute.

"Why did Jing Ning come here, but the scenery in this garden is not as you want." Princess Lu joked softly.

"Ahem, the princess is serious, the scenery in this garden is beautiful. It's just that Jing Ning was a little unwell, and wanted to retire first, so he came to confess to the princess. ”

"Oh, yes, you fell into the water before, although it is summer, but the woman fell into the water is always not good for health, I didn't think about it, then you should go home and rest. The next time I hold a flower banquet, I will definitely invite you to come again to enjoy the beautiful scenery in this garden. ”

"Princess Xie is compassionate. Jing Ning retired first. Jing Ning bowed to the princess and his wife one by one.

Walking to the front of the garden, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was waiting there early.

After getting into the carriage, Wen Xing hurriedly took out the kettle from the dark compartment and touched the temperature, because the water in the kettle had not completely cooled due to the hot summer weather.

"Miss, drink some water to get rid of the cold, although this water is not so hot, it is also warm. When he returned home, the slave immediately went to make ginger tea for the young lady. Saying that, Wen Xing hurriedly poured a glass of water and stuffed it into Jing Ning's hand.

Looking at the intimate maid, Jing Ning felt very warm, "It's okay, it's warm this summer, and the water is not too cold." ”

"Miss, how can you say that!" Wen Xing is willing to make iron but not steel, "Miss, although this is summer, you are a woman, how can you enter the water at will?" Not good for the body. ”

Jing Ning sneered, "Wen Xing, how can you be so verbose. Besides, I didn't enter the water at will, I was pushed into the water. ”

"Miss, even if you want to take revenge on Lord Huanting, Miss should also focus on her own body. Don't ...... like that in the future."

Jing Ning looked at Wen Xing's serious preaching, and if he continued to talk about it, he immediately said perfunctorily, "Okay, good." I know, it won't be like that next time. ”

Wen Xing looked at Jing Ning's perfunctory appearance, although he was angry, he was helpless.

After arriving at the house, Wen Xing first asked the second-class maid in the courtyard to bring hot water, and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen to boil ginger tea.

Jing Ning looked at Wen Xing's figure running away in a hurry, and felt warm and sweet in his heart. When the maid called for hot water, Jing Ning relaxed his body and put himself in the hot water, although he also changed his clean clothes in time at that time, but he never returned to his house, and his heart was not really relaxed.

After Jing Ning took a comfortable bath and relaxed his nerves, his body involuntarily felt very tired. Drinking the ginger tea brought by Wen Xing, Jing Ning lay down in the futon peacefully, and instructed Wen Xing in a daze, "Wen Xing, you go down and prepare a thank you gift, tomorrow we will go to Yunfu to thank Yun Gongzi." Remember to call me earlier tomorrow morning. ”

Wen Xing looked at Jing Ning in a daze, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, if the lady was still there, then the young lady wouldn't have to work so hard.

"Okay young lady, the slave will go and prepare. Miss have a good rest, if you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, Miss remember to call the slave. With that, Wen Xing blew out the candle and brought it to the door.

And Jing Ning here had already fallen asleep before he heard Wen Xing's reply.

"Ning'er, Ning'er."

So familiar sound, so familiar. "Who! Who are you! You come out! ”

"Ning'er has to be obedient......"

Who in this world would call my name so affectionately?

Who else but that person? "You come out! I miss you so much, I miss you so much! Tears from her eyes slowly fell down her cheeks, Jing Ning squatted on the ground with her arms around herself and buried her face in her lap, she was trembling, she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying at all......

"My Ning'er is so well-behaved, Ning'er will definitely become a great person when she grows up......"

I will, I will! But you can't see that I've become a great person. Why, you're leaving me even if you do it again!

"Mother, I miss you so much. Ning'er really misses you so much......"

"Miss, miss, miss......" Wen Xing called softly beside the bed.

Jing Ning woke up quietly.

It turned out to be a dream! That's right, I can only listen to you call me Ning'er in my dreams.

"I'm awake, you go out first! I'll call you in shortly. ”

"Yes," Wen Xing was blessed and retreated. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jing Ning got up and lifted the curtain and moved to the dresser, the face of the person in front of the mirror was full of tears, and she pulled the corners of her mouth to force herself to smile.

Mother, Ning'er is so tired......

Jing Ning put his hands on his face, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Semi-ring,

Jing Ning took a deep breath and patted his face. Looking at himself in the mirror, "I, Zheng Jingning, will eventually become a master, and I will trample those who have bullied me under my feet!" ”

Wiping the tears from his face and clearing his throat, he said, "Come in." ”

Wen Xing brought the basin in and dressed Jing Ning.

Three thousand strands of hair were combed into a Lingyun bun. Wrapped in a lilac long skirt, the cuffs and skirt were embroidered with plum in winter, which was Jingning's favorite flower. Even the shoes are embroidered with plums.

Jing Ning walked out of the door, stretched his waist and asked Wen Xing on the side, "Are things ready?" ”

"It's ready, can you take a look?"

Jing Ning waved his hand, "No, I believe you." ”

"Miss, is breakfast still as usual?"

"Well......, no, today I want to try lotus seed white fungus porridge, you ask Qi Niang in the dining room to prepare."

"Yes." Wen Xing blessed himself and went to the dining room.

Jing Ning picked up the pot on the side and sprinkled it to water the flowers in his yard, looking at those flowers, Jing Ning's thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance again......

"Ning'er, you see, this flower is called Aster and can bloom from spring to autumn, this flower is called Begonia, it is a very good flower to plant and very good-looking, this flower is called Phalaenopsis generally means good luck, this flower is called ......"

"Ning'er, don't fall if you run slowly."

"Ning'er, you flower cat has made your little face so dirty again."

"Ning'er, you ......"

"Miss? Miss? ”

"Huh? Well? Oh, Wenxing, what's wrong? ”

Wen Xing looked at Jing Ning and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Do you need me to call Lang Zhong to take a look? ”

Jing Ning glanced at Wen Xing, poked her forehead with her finger, then took the porridge in her hand and said, "Your young lady, I'm in good health, don't worry." ”

Wen Xing rubbed his forehead, followed Jing Ning into the room, and still asked uneasily, "Miss, your body is important, is it really okay?" ”

Jing Ning sat at the table and drank a sip of porridge, "It's really okay, if you are idle, you can go back up the ceremony, yesterday the son of the Xiao family went into the water to save me, I should come to the door to thank you!" ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Looking at Wen Xing's appearance of turning around and running, Jing Ning shook his head with a smile and drank the porridge.

Lotus seed white fungus porridge was Jing Ning's mother's favorite food before her death. She had heard her father say that when her mother was pregnant with her, she could hardly eat anything, but her mother could eat several bowls of lotus seed white fungus porridge in a row, and only ate Qi Niang's cooking, and now Qi Niang is also the year of knowing her fate. Qi Niang Thirteen was brought into the Prime Minister's Mansion by Jing Ning's mother, and stayed for so many years, Qi Niang was a beggar on the side of the road, and for some reason was brought into the house by Jing Ning's mother.

Looking at the bowl that was already empty, Jing Ning sighed lightly.

She walked to the dresser and turned out the hairpin sent by Yun Gongzi that day, I have to say that the workmanship of this hairpin is really exquisite, and I am afraid that no one will dislike such a hairpin.

Jing Ning put the hairpin into the box and prepared to return it to Yun Gongzi together for a while.

"Jing Ning!" Zheng Anyan entered the room in a hurry, his official uniform had not been changed, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.

Jing Ning hurriedly got up and asked for peace, "What's the matter with my father, why is he so in such a hurry, what happened?" ”

Zheng Anyan walked around Jing Ning, took her hand and said, "When I went to court today, I heard that you were pushed into the lake by the county lord of King Lu's Mansion yesterday, but what did you hurt?" What happened? That Lady Ting County Lord is too bold! How about I send someone to find you some tonics? The body should be ......"

"Father!" Jing Ning interrupted Zheng Anyan and pulled him to sit at the table, "Father, I'm fine." You don't have to be so nervous, it's just that some small things in the girl's family are not enough to worry about. ”

Zheng Anyan frowned and looked at Jing Ning, "Really? ”

"Naturally, it's true, how could I deceive my father."

Zheng Anyan touched Jing Ning's head affectionately, he knew that Jing Ning didn't want to tell him this kind of thing, he didn't want him to worry about it, which child of this age didn't grow up worry-free under his parents' knees, but Jing Ning took on the troubles that shouldn't have belonged to her: "I've wronged you." ”

Looking at her father Jing Ning in front of her with a sour nose, when did Jing Ning receive this kind of love from Zheng Anyan before she was reborn, which she longed for but never got in her previous life.

Jing Ning threw himself into Zheng Anyan's arms and rubbed it, as if she was coquettish, Zheng Anyan showed a doting smile, "No matter how old a person is, he is still coquettish, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes." ”

"What's the joke about this, no matter how old I am, I will always be my father's little Jingning." Jing Ning poked his head out of his arms and looked at Zheng Anyan, his eyes full of expectation, playful and cute.

Zheng Anyan shook his head and laughed, "Yes, yes, my father's little Jingning." By the way, I heard that Xiao Rin, the son of the Xiao family, rescued you ashore yesterday, how are you going to thank others? ”

Jing Ning got up and said with a smile: "I have already asked Wen Xing to prepare for the ceremony, and I will come to the door to thank you later, and by the way, I will visit Yun Gongzi to thank him for testifying for his daughter in the temple." ”

Zheng Anyan got up and patted Jing Ning on the shoulder, "Remember that you are the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have the entire Prime Minister's Mansion behind you to support you, and you Zheng Jingning will never be inferior to others!" ”

Jing Ning sniffed, "Well, Jing Ning knows." ”

"Okay, since there is nothing to do, my father will go back first, this official uniform has been really uncomfortable to wear, and in a while, my father will send someone to send something to replenish your body, don't refuse!"

"Okay, Jing Ning must take it well! Father walks slowly. ”

Looking at the departing Zheng Anyan, Jing Ning had mixed feelings in his heart. This is what it feels like to be loved by my father! Mother, you see, my father really loves Ning'er.

A tear fell silently to the ground.
