Chapter 16: Far Away

And in the general's mansion in that room, Ning Zixin was losing her temper: "The pink pearl is gone?" ”

"Yes, Second Miss, the last time they were sent to the palace for the fifth princess, and today I went to Zhenzhen Pavilion to buy pink pearls, and the shopkeeper said that there are no more."

Ning Zixin was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, originally these pink pearls were enough for her and the fifth princess, but the fifth princess may have more close friends in the boudoir, and always asked her to ask for such pearl powder, if she couldn't provide it, the fifth princess would definitely complain about her, and all the hard work in front of her would be in vain.

"Then you hurry up and buy it from a few other stores in the capital, what are you doing here?"

"Miss, I've been there, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in good health, and the eldest lady bought all the pink pearls and gave them to the Prince, saying that she was going to give the Prince medicine."

This girl was actually quite scared when she said this, and she knelt on the ground in fear and didn't dare to look at her young lady who looked like a shrew, but Arnold, who has now been promoted to a first-class girl, came up with an idea and said: "Miss, what do you think, how can this eldest lady give all the pearls to the fifth master, this pink pearl can tender the skin and smooth the skin, and the eldest lady will not keep a little for herself?" ”

When Ning Zixin heard this, she slapped the table and said angrily: "I know that the slut is uneasy and kind." ”

After he finished speaking, he took people to Huating Garden.

Ning Zimo has been thinking about where her brother has gone for the past two days, while casually feeding the cat, seeing that so many people are coming, she is not in a good mood, but she also calculated what she came for.

She raised her head and hugged Xiao Li in her arms, only then did she look at Ning Zixin interestingly: "What is my sister doing here?" ”

"That's right, sister, it's cold now, this is the new autumn coat that my mother ordered to give my sister last month, and my sister specially sent it to you."

This Ning Zimo nodded, she saw many people holding the newly made autumn clothes, dazzling her eyes, Ning Zixin saw that this person had no intention of refusing, and immediately asked someone to send the clothes in, Ning Zixin thought, this clothes are all accepted, if you don't give the pearl powder in your hand, you can't say it.

And the woman who was lazily holding the cat was not interested in a perfunctory thank you.

"Sister, I heard you bought all the fine pink pearls?"

Before she could finish nodding, she heard Ning Zixin say in a softened tone: "Presumably my sister doesn't need it so much, why don't you give some to your sister?"

She actually knew, if it wasn't really to the point where she couldn't buy pearls, how could this Ning Zixin be willing to come to this Hua Tingyuan to talk to her more, she really didn't have the heart to deal with this Ning Zixin, but her face showed a little displeasure, and she instructed the jade slave beside her: "Go and take those pearl powder that Miss Ben treasures to Second Miss." ”

"Thank you, sister."

Getting this pearl powder is equivalent to solving Ning Zixin's urgent need, she immediately thanked her with a smile, and was about to leave immediately.

Yu Nu muttered a little indignantly: "With such high-grade pearl powder, the second lady won't say to leave some for you." ”

This happened to make Ning Zixin, who had just gone out, hear this, and she was even more relieved, and left with someone in an uproar.

She always frowned, worried: "Yunu, where did you say my brother went?" The prince also said that he had something to tell him, and if he didn't come back, the prince would die alone in the East Palace."

"Miss, don't worry, the birthday of you and the young master is coming in a few days, and every year the young master prepares the first copper coin of the year for you, and he will definitely come back then."

She nodded, and saw that the big round eyes of the cat on her thighs were staring straight at her, her hairy head was tilted, and after meowing obediently, she began to pull her clothes, as if she wanted to say something, but after gesturing for a long time, she didn't understand what this Xiaoli wanted to express.

It jumped far away all of a sudden, and suddenly returned to her feet, this action was done back and forth several times, Ning Zimo twisted his eyebrows suspiciously: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, what does it mean?" ”

Immediately, he denied the thoughts in his heart, lifted the fat cat and said, "Don't jump around with your little short legs." ”

Xiao Li meowed at the same time with some teeth and claws (you are short, your whole family is short.) )

It was late at night, Ning Zimo had already extinguished the candle, ready to go back to the collapse to rest, just took off the earrings, through the bronze mirror, he saw the man walking quietly behind him, he was dressed in black, almost to blend in with the night, only to realize that there was a person next to her, which really scared her a lot, she stood up, the glass comb in her hand was so frightened that she took off her hand and fell to the ground, but he was quickly picked up.

Her heart was in her throat, and she couldn't say a word of horror when she looked into his dark chestnut eyes.

Every word of concern was stuck in her throat, and when she came back to her senses, there was an enlarged face in front of her, and what rushed into her nose was her familiar fragrance, and that special masculine smell.

She suddenly turned red and could get bloody, and grabbed his arm: "Brother, where have you been recently?" ”

In response to her, he hated to rub people into his bones, he suppressed the desire in his heart, scratched her head after letting go of people, touched her soft ink hair, and smiled: "It's okay, I've always been there." ”

"But I went to the Prince's Mansion the day before yesterday, you haven't been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, where have you been?"

She thought about it these days and felt that there was only one possibility, that is, her brother had a beautiful woman hiding in the golden house outside, and she accompanied the beauty all day long, otherwise she couldn't figure out what made her brother lie on both sides, and said that she went back to the General's Mansion in the Prince's Mansion, and explained early in the General's Mansion that she had been in the Prince's Mansion.

"Brother? Did you raise a beauty outside? ”

She looked through the bronze mirror and saw that he had lost his mind, and said this half-jokingly.

He didn't deny it, I don't know why, she felt a little sour in her heart, and snorted: "It's really good, you actually learn from those gentlemen, hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house outside, when will you bring it back to the house?" ”

He didn't answer her question, just pressed her shoulder, let her sit in front of the dresser again, and used a glass comb to smooth her hair, and on the other hand, she was uncomfortable, and raised her hand to take the comb from his hand with some weakness, but he deftly dodged it.

"Brother?"

She said so much, he didn't answer a word, and called him uncertainly.

"Brother, if you have a sister-in-law in the future, won't you hurt your sister?"

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, feeling sullen and unhappy in her heart, this feeling was extremely strange, so strange that it made her tremble.
