Jing Ning was woken up by the noise in the house. She rubbed her worried eyes, half leaned on the bed rail, and called out the door: "Wenxing, Bihua? ”

Wen Xing, who had been waiting outside the door, entered the house after hearing the voice, and saw Jing Ning reaching out to cover his mouth and yawning, not only smiled: "Has Miss been woken up?" Miss must have been tired from attending the palace banquet yesterday, why don't you sleep for a while? ”

Jing Ning shook his head, lifted the quilt and got up to get out of bed, "No, I'm already awake." "It was already late when I came back from the palace last night, and when I came back, I washed up again before going to bed, maybe I was really tired, so I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed with a pillow.

Wen Xing asked another little maid to bring water when he came in, and the little maid also came in while he was talking.

As soon as the maid came in, Wen Xing saw it, she stepped forward and took the basin from the maid's hand, "Okay, you can go and do the rest." ”

The maid nodded and left.

Jing Ning walked over and washed up briefly, thinking of the noise outside the door when he woke up, he asked casually: "Wen Xing, why is the house so lively?" ”

Wen Xing took the towel handed over by Jing Ning, and said with a smile: "Did you forget, Miss?" Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone in the government is preparing for the New Year. ”

Chinese New Year's Eve? Jing Ning smiled dumbly, he had been thinking about yesterday's palace banquet, forgetting that the palace banquet was the twenty-ninth day, and the second day of the palace banquet was the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Jing Ning sat at the table, and Wen Xing combed her hair, and her movements were very careful. Although Miss's green silk is slippery and soft to the touch, what if you accidentally hurt Miss with too much force. Therefore, Wen Xing's combing of his hair was extremely slow and careful.

In the past, these things were done by Bihua, but Bihua is now busy directing his subordinates to clean Jingning's yard and decorate the yard, so Wen Xing will do it for him.

Jing Ning noticed that Wen Xing's movements were slow, and he didn't urge, but closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, his long eyelashes flickering, casting a shadow on Jing Ning's pale skin.

After Wen Xing combed it, he served Jing Ning to change his clothes, and Jing Ning covered his mouth and yawned a little. "Wen Xing, let's go, go see the old lady."

The two walked to the house, and the little maids who came and went were in a hurry, holding some items for the New Year in their arms, and they saluted when they saw Jing Ning.

"Hello Miss."

Jing Ning also nodded in response, and red lanterns were already hanging in all corners of the house. Jing Ning looked at the obvious different scene in the house along the way, and sighed in his heart. The year ended like this, and another year passed. Time flies so fast.

The two walked to the courtyard of the old lady, which was much more lively than other places.

The old lady was wearing a purple jacket and a brown fox scarf around her neck, looking very graceful and luxurious. She was standing in the courtyard watching the people go about their work, with a smile on her face.

I heard the next person reply that the eldest lady was here. The old lady looked towards the courtyard gate, and a shadow appeared in her eyes. The old lady smiled and said to the personal maid who had served beside her for many years: "This Jingning, the appearance is becoming more and more slim. ”

The old lady also smiled and followed the old lady's words, "No, the eldest lady is now a big girl." ”

As soon as Jing Ning came in, he heard the old lady talking about herself, her face did not change, and she slowly walked over and saluted the old lady.

Perhaps it was the joy brought by the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old lady seemed to be in a much better mood today than before, she smiled and took Jing Ning's jade hand and led her into the house.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Jing Ning didn't refuse, and followed the old lady into the house.

"Jing Ning, are you ready for this wedding dress?" The old lady sat on the chair, took a sip of hot tea slowly, and saw that Jing Ning was still standing at the door, so she said, "Come, sit here." She gestured to the seat next to her.

Jing Ning walked over, sat down, reached out and took the hot tea handed by the maid, didn't drink it, put it in his hand to keep warm, the heat came from the palm of his hand, Jing Ning lowered his eyes, "Back to the old lady's words, it has been done." ”

The old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and the wrinkles on her face were very visible. "That's good. Alas, I also watched you grow up. Now Xiuning has already been married, and after a while, your child will also leave, and this mansion will be empty. ”

Jing Ning knew that this was the scene that the old lady said, and she still had a light smile on her face, she clenched the teacup in her hand: "Sister Xiuning followed Lord Shen to the distant frontier, and she had the heart to come back to see the old lady, but unfortunately she couldn't come back because of the long distance." If the old lady feels lonely, Jing Ning can come back to accompany you more after she gets married. ”

The old lady smiled, "Say some nonsense!" After you got married, you were not only a young lady from my Prime Minister's Mansion, but also a member of the General's Mansion, how could you go back to your parents' house often, it was not etiquette. ”

Jing Ning said: "It's Jing Ning's inconsiderate thinking, Jing Ning knows." ”

The old lady sighed, thinking that Zheng Xiuning only married a small official Wu Zhuangyuan in the end, and followed him to the distant frontier, but Zheng Jingning finally married to the general's mansion. It's really a trick.

With Jing Ning by her side, the old lady couldn't show too much emotion, she just shook her head, "You marry into the General's Mansion, you have to be measured in your work, don't lose the façade of our Prime Minister's Mansion, you know?" ”

Jing Ning nodded when he heard this, his face was full of humility and listening.

The old lady seemed to be very satisfied, and smiled: "The house will be busy today, so you can go back first, I see that you are wearing too thin, don't freeze and suffer from the cold." ”

Jing Ning stood up, thanked the old lady and left.

For what the old lady said, Jing Ning usually goes in the left ear and out of the right ear or only listens to three points, after all, only three points of what the old lady says are usually what she says to her sincerely, and sometimes three points are too much, so Jing Ning just listens to the old lady's words and passes, and if she thinks about it too much, she is torturing herself.

Wen Xing accompanied Jing Ning in the house, and found that Miss's interest was not as high as when she came, so he asked carefully: "Miss, did the old lady say something that made Miss unhappy?" ”

Wen Xing may not know what the old lady thinks in her heart, but Jing Ning knows it very well in her heart. When the old lady talked about her marriage contract with Xiao Rin, her mood changed significantly, and she must have compared her marriage with Zheng Xiuning's marriage.

Jing Ning sneered in her heart, the old lady only had the interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion in her eyes.

Jing Ning walked for a while and met Zheng Anyan.

During the Chinese New Year, the emperor gave these officials a holiday to accompany their families for the New Year, and Zheng Anyan was no exception.

Zheng Anyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly after seeing Jing Ning, and he stepped forward: "You kid, why did you come out wearing so little." As he spoke, he untied the cloak on his body and put it on Jing Ning, and reached out to probe Jing Ning's hand, which was cold and cold. His eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
