On the second day, Jing Ning was awakened by Bihua while still asleep.

Jing Ning poked her head out of the bed curtain and looked out the window, but it was still dark outside the window, and she couldn't see her fingers.

Rubbing his slightly aching head, Jing Ning asked, "What time is it, is the weather bad outside?" ”

"Miss Hui, I'm about to enter the fifth watch." Bihua replied while holding up the bed curtain, "The weather outside is not very good, and it has been drizzling since the third watch. ”

Before entering the fifth watch, Jing Ning frowned, "Why is it so early today, but what's the urgency?" ”

Bihua replied while waiting for Jing Ning to dress, "It was the old lady who sent the maid over last night after the young lady went to sleep, saying that the old lady Li came in a hurry yesterday, and the old man was also busy, and the family has not yet had a good meal together......

So we decided to go to my grandmother's for breakfast this morning. But is it still early? And why don't you prepare a dust washing feast at noon? Before Bihua finished speaking, Jing Ning took over.

"The old lady said that she had breakfast in advance, just not to delay the old man's early court. As for the feast of washing. Bihua paused slightly.

Wen Xing and I also felt strange, so we went to inquire. Listening to the maid in the old lady's courtyard, the old lady also planned to hold a dust washing banquet for Mrs. Li at noon, but Mrs. Li refused. She said that she was afraid that the lord would have a party at noon, and the lord was busy with official business, so he could not delay, and said that the family did not have to be polite, and there was no need to wash the dust and feast. After some deliberation, the old lady decided last night to go to the main courtyard for dinner this morning. ”

Looking at Jing Ning's slightly pale face, Bihua felt distressed for a while, "Miss, hold on for a while, if you are really sleepy, we will go back to the hospital to make up for sleep after breakfast." ”

Jing Ning shook his head, "I thought too much yesterday, I didn't rest well, it's no big deal." Catch up on sleep? Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay with the old lady all day today. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Jing Ning say this, Bihua was very surprised, "Why did Miss say that?" But what happened? Even if the old lady doesn't let people go in the morning, she should let everyone go back to their respective courtyards in the afternoon. ”

Jing Ning didn't explain why, his eyes were dark.

At the right time, Wen Xing came in with warm water, "Miss, hurry up and wash up, I just heard the maid in the old lady's courtyard who went to ask for water say that the young lady went to the old lady early, saying that she wanted to be filial and wait for the old lady to get up." ”

Without waiting for others to say anything, Wen Xing said angrily, "Really, I just came here yesterday, and today I went to please the old lady with such a close face." Miss, she must be trying to compete with you for favor. Looking at her like yesterday, she has no good intentions, and if she wins the favor of the old lady, she doesn't know how arrogant she is. Miss, hurry up and get dressed, and we'll go to the old lady's courtyard early. ”

"Poof." Looking at Wen Xing's puffed appearance, Jing Ning didn't care, "It's better to let me sleep for a quarter of an hour earlier, she likes to please her, and it's just a few days, but the old lady will reward more gold and silver jewelry." But what Jing Ning didn't expect was that Li Ziyue's stay here was not just a few days.

Jing Ning stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, "Wen Xing, go change the basin of cold water." ”

"Miss? The weather in early autumn is not as cool as midsummer, morning and evening, and it is still early today, and the rain outside has not stopped, and it is even more cold. The young lady washed with warm water. Wen Xing looked disapproving.

Bihua also chimed in, "Yes, Miss." An autumn rain and a cold. It doesn't have to be summer on this day, so it's better for Miss to use less cold water. ”

Looking at the two intimate maids, Jing Ning smiled and said, "It's better to use cold water to wake up sleepy, use cold water to make me sober and sober up, Wen Xing, you go and change the basin of cold water." Bihua, you go and make me a cup of bitter tea, the more bitter, the better. ”

Although the two of them were full of disapproval, they still prepared obediently according to their words.

Sure enough, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Jing Ning soaked his hands in cold water, and felt a trace of coolness wandering on the surface of his skin. Jing Ning didn't use a handkerchief, he directly bowed a handful of water to wash, and his cheeks were stimulated by the cold water, which made Jing Ning tremble for a while, and suddenly felt a lot more sober.

Let Wen Xing simply comb his hair in a bun, bring the jewelry of the belt, and then use light makeup to hide the paleness of his face. Jing Ning took the bitter tea brewed by Bihua and drank it all.

If cold water is only a stimulus to the skin, then this rich bitter tea is first a taste stimulus and then a nerve stimulation throughout the body.

Drinking bitter tea, Jing Ning's expression was slightly painful and hideous, Wen Xing looked distressed for a while, and complained in his heart about Mrs. Li and Li Ziyue, if they hadn't come, then Miss wouldn't have to work so hard and have to go to the main courtyard to eat so early.

After drinking bitter tea, Jing Ning instantly felt a lot more sober.

Putting on the cloak handed over by Bihua, Jing Ning walked to the eaves and stretched out his hand to catch a few drops of rain, watching the rain leak from between his fingers, Jing Ning sighed, didn't know what he was sighing about, and slowly walked under the umbrella held by Wen Xing.

Because it was still early and it was raining, two maids with lanterns were waiting to lead the way. Jing Ning was speechless all the way, and first went to the old lady's courtyard.

It's just that before entering the house at the door, Jing Ning heard Li's joke, "Yo, aunt, you are really blessed." Looking at the three eldest girls, one is more beautiful than the other, they are all rushing to serve you. ”

Jing Ning raised his eyebrows, this Li's eyes were pointed. Quickly entering the house, Jing Ning saluted one by one.

The old lady waved her hand to get her up, and replied with a smile, "This is the light of Ziyue's girl, usually, how can I see them so active, come so early." It's still filial piety to your family, and you come to serve me so early in the morning, it's really heartfelt. ”

Ziyue had a smug look in her eyes, but she said modestly, "Ziyue usually comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that she must serve her aunt and grandmother well, and her aunt should not dislike Ziyue's clumsiness!" ”

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" The old lady smiled and patted Li Ziyue's hand affectionately.

Li Ziyue smiled even more, "It's good if my aunt doesn't dislike it, and then Ziyue will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve my aunt and grandmother." ”

Jing Ning sneered in his heart, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the Prime Minister's Mansion. No wonder this Li Ziyue came to offer his hospitality so early.

Blink to look at Zheng Xiuning on the right side of the old lady.

At this time, Zheng Xiuning's eyes were full of resentment, but this time, most of the resentment in Zheng Xiuning's eyes was towards Li Ziyue. Also, Zheng Xiuning originally planned to pretend to be pitiful to make the old lady feel distressed and pitiful, but as soon as this Li Ziyue came, it was regarded as taking away all the pity that Zheng Xiuning could have received.

The reward that should have belonged to her was rewarded to Li Ziyue by the old lady, not to mention, the old lady also compared Li Ziyue's well-behaved and obedient with her, revealing the old lady's dissatisfaction with Zheng Xiuning. Zheng Xiuning was submissive on his face, but he scolded Li Ziyue's hypocrisy in his heart.

What makes Jing Ning even more amused is that although Zheng Xiuning is dressed decently, but if you look closely, her hair is still slightly messy, and the hairpin on her head does not match the whole.

"Okay, it's already the fifth watch, and it's not too early, let's go to dinner first, don't delay the banquet in the morning." The old lady said, and walked towards the main courtyard with the support of Zheng Xiuning and Li Ziyue.
