Chapter Eighty-Five: Eventful
"So, why should my sister suffer herself, stay in that prison all the year round, people have to be moldy, and now it's almost the end of the year, Daddy hopes that the family will be reunited, that's good."
"Yes, the fourth sister has been taught."
Ning Zimo nodded, and Xuanxing, the girl who was originally following Ning Ziting, came over, and instead of Ning Zimo, she supported Ning Ziting, her eyes were red and said: "Fourth Miss, you are willing to come out, you don't know, Fifth Miss is the most worried about you, and now that you are out, Fifth Miss is also relieved." ”
"yes, that girl worries. Help me to my daddy first. ”
"The old man was just invited by the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while."
When Ning Zimo heard this, she looked towards Xuanxing, and Xuanxing also saw that Ning Zimo was looking at her, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Hui, I heard that something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I went to find the master." ”
"Oh, let's not talk about this for a while, I see how inconvenient the fourth sister's legs and feet are, I'm afraid that it will freeze badly, you hurry up and prepare hot mugwort leaf water, soak it, and then go to the house doctor to show the fourth sister."
"Thank you Miss Yan for your concern, I'm fine."
"And said it's okay, you see that your lips are purple, I'm afraid you'll freeze in prison."
Ning Ziting was indeed cold, and he didn't shirk when he heard this, when his pants were pushed away, this Xuanxing screamed in fright, and then tears fell down in large numbers, and he reluctantly and carefully put his legs into the hot mugwort leaf water, crying: "Miss, why do you have to suffer so much, your legs are frozen purple, I'm afraid that your muscles are going to freeze." ”
"Nothing."
The two words were said by Ning Ziting gritted her teeth, she was not only cold, but now she was shivering in pain, those cold winds seemed to penetrate her body, the cold emanated from the inside out, she trembled, picked up the stove and hugged it in her arms, and asked, "How is the fifth sister in the west side hall of Mingyue Pavilion?" ”
"The slave maid has already called someone to call the fifth miss over, but to be honest, the eldest young master always bullies the fifth miss, a few days ago, the young master and the young lady went to the national temple and were not in the house, and the master also entered the palace to go to the banquet, the eldest young master in the house is the largest, no one is the master of the fifth miss, the eldest young master saw such a period, and insisted that the fifth miss stole his things, let the fifth miss kneel in the snow all night, and wait for the master to come back, this matter will be stopped."
The more he continued, Xuan Xing's tears went down as if the thread was broken, Ning Ziting pinched his palm tightly, his nails pinched into his palm and he didn't feel pain, and asked through gritted teeth: "Zi Yu's temperament has been afraid of people since he was a child, how can he have the courage to steal his things, it is clearly a personal vendetta." ”
"Yes, Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss's legs are injured on her knees."
While talking, Ning Ziting came over, saw the sister she was thinking about, and immediately pounced, lying in her arms and crying, Ning Ziting touched her hair with feeling, and comforted: "Good, don't cry, my sister is out." ”
"Sister, you can figure it out, my sister worries about you all day long, it's good if you come out."
"Don't worry, my sister is fine."
Ning Ziyu is one and a half years younger than Ning Ziting, and she is only twelve years old this year, her palm-sized face has not yet grown, but her face is already embedded with the pain and frost of the wealthy house, and it seems that she has been tortured ruthlessly, Ning Ziting touched her wrist, she instinctively trembled in pain, and wanted to retract her hand.
"What's wrong with your arm?"
"No, nothing, sister, nothing,"
The more she shrank back, the more Ning Ziting didn't let her go, grabbed the person hard, and jerked up her sleeves, Ning Ziyu couldn't dodge, so that she saw the traces of bruises, all whip marks, her eyes were suddenly red, hot, and big tears fell on the back of Ning Ziyu's hand.
"Who hit it? Who would dare to lynch you in the General's Mansion? ”
"Fourth Miss, this was all beaten by the eldest young master, the eldest young master called the fifth young master to see it by practicing in the martial arts training ground, and the whip accidentally whipped on the fifth miss's body, which is why there are these scars."
"Accidentally? He is not weak in martial arts, would he make such a mistake? It's on purpose."
"Yes, in order not to let people know, this young master deliberately didn't throw the whip on his face, for fear that others would see it. Every time Miss Wu came back from the martial arts training ground, she was covered in scars. ”
The more Ning Ziting listened, the more he felt the atmosphere, and he reluctantly hugged Ning Zi tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "This Ning Tiancheng is acting so arrogantly, doesn't my father call the shots?" ”
"Fourth Miss, there is the eldest young master who is blocking and not allowing such a trivial matter of accidental injury to pollute the master's ears. The news can't be sent to the master's study. ”
This Ning Ziyu also stopped crying at this moment, attached her hand to Ning Ziting's hand, and said: "Sister, it's good that you come out, the eldest young master also resents my sister that you killed the second sister, and the little sister suffers from this, it's nothing." ”
In fact, since childhood, in addition to the young master and the eldest young master, the Ning family has no other men under Ning Guodong's knees, and a total of six young ladies have been born one after another, so Ning Guodong has been very fond of Ning Tiancheng since he was a child.
But I don't know, why Ning Tiancheng, who grew up, was not as favored by Ning Guodong as he was when he was a child, probably because Ning Tiancheng's path was crooked, he was always obsessed with women, and he didn't do his job, although there was no such a gentleman, but because Ning Guodong realized that the tiger father had no dog, he didn't say how majestic he was, but he was a general, and Ning Tiancheng's practice of his identity as the eldest son of the general's mansion really chilled Ning Guodong's heart.
"Nothing? You wait, wait for my sister to come back and avenge you, he won't make us comfortable, and we will never let him feel better. ”
"Sister, forget it, now the eldest young master is practicing martial arts in the martial arts training field every day, and my father is very pleased to see it, and praises him for being sensible."
Ning Ziting sneered, with a cold look in his eyes, and said mysteriously: "Miss Yan must not be able to tolerate the eldest young master, let's not think about revenge for the time being, let's take care of our bodies first." ”
Ning Ziyu nodded, at this moment, the doctor came, and after saluting, he began to check Ning Ziting's pulse, the more he checked the pulse, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and sighed again and again: "Fourth Miss, why bother with your good body.... Hey, this cold has entered the bones, and it has already hurt your body, the old slave prescribes a prescription for you, you drink, you also have to use this hot air ointment, the inside and outside are integrated, so that the effect can be fast, and you will suffer less. ”
"Thank you, doctor."
The doctor checked the bruises on her legs again, and sighed: "This is frozen alive, even if it's good, when it enters winter in the future, it will still be itchy and unbearable." ”
"Hmph, it's also cost-effective to change her life for Ning Zixin."
As soon as the house doctor heard this, he stopped, he was a slave, and he was not qualified to put his beak in the affairs of the masters, but he was reluctant to say: "You young ladies are all old slaves who grew up, how did you get like this, you are cold to the bones at a young age, and after a long time, it will become more and more serious, if it penetrates into the spleen, it will be even worse." ”
The doctor sighed, and Ning Ziting didn't say anything more, but just asked: "I also bother the doctor to send some good plasters, my fifth sister's body has many scars, and now it is not treated, and it will definitely fall scars over time, and my daughter's family, it is not good to have scars on my body." ”
"Let the old slave look at the wound first, so that the old slave can also consider the amount of medicine."
When the house doctor left, he left a lot of medicine down, the two sisters closed the door and didn't know what they were talking about, Ning Zimo looked for the little black cat everywhere in Hua Ting Yuan, and asked Siyu, who had been guarding the eleven little kittens, "Where did the little one go?" ”
"Miss Hui, that black cat is rarely in the house, and the slaves and maids rarely see it, and the slaves and maids haven't seen it for about three or five days, so maybe it's greedy to go out of the house."
While feeding the cat, Siyu continued: "Miss Yan, during the period when you and Young Master Yan went to the National Temple, Anan, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, came to the mansion three times, and went back when she saw that you and Young Master Yan were not there. ”
Ning Zimo just nodded indifferently and said, "I know, by the way, Miss Ben asked you, when Miss Ben and her brother returned to the city today, the officers and soldiers at the city gate seemed to be looking for someone?" Is something wrong? ”
When Ning Zimo asked like this, she wanted to know how the matter of the loss of the Prime Minister's Mansion was spread in the capital, and she guessed that the old fox of the Prime Minister would definitely hide it.
"I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion made trouble with the assassins."
"If the assassin is an assassin, he should have given the book of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department will send someone to find someone, why did the prime minister directly stop the people who entered and exited the city gate, and provoked the people to complain."
"Hey, Miss Yan, don't talk about this stubble, who doesn't know what such a thing as blocking the city gate is a big deal over the years."
While the master and servant were talking, Ning Xuanli came in with a snowflake draped in his body, Ning Zimo hurriedly greeted him, patted the snowflake on his shoulder, and asked, "Where have you been?" It's snowing and running around. ”
"Xiao Jiu said that the prince was looking for me something, the prince asked about the situation of the six princes, and the prince had a deep brotherly affection for the six princes, no, as soon as we came back, he found someone to call me over."
While speaking, Ning Xuanli sat on the edge of the stove to roast the fire, and those little cats hurriedly immediately surrounded him, and after a while, Ning Xuanli's shoulders, thighs, arms, and places where everything could stand were all occupied by these colorful cats.
"By the way, Siyu, go to the small kitchen to make some snacks, Miss Ben is a little hungry."
Ning Zimo likes to eat small pastries recently, and it seems that he is always hungry, Siyu went down when he heard this, Ning Zimo saw that people were leaving, and immediately came to him, and asked uneasily: "Brother, we are now pretending to have been on the top of Wolong Temple and have never gone down the mountain, but when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, you came to the mansion to see me and was seen by Yinsuo, if Yinsuo said something, then what should I do?" ”
"No one has seen me go to the Prime Minister's Mansion except for Yinsuo, don't worry, there will be trouble in the coming day, and it's fine. We went to Wolong Temple to send the drawings of the revised mansion to the six princes, as long as the six princes can prove that we have been on the mountain, the prime minister will definitely not really run to ask the six princes without knowing what is wrong. ”
"I'm relieved when you say that."
Ning Zimo patted his chest with relief when he heard this, and then sighed again: "It's an eventful autumn, I always feel that the more I get to the end of the year, the more unstable my heart becomes. ”
"It's okay, the lingering incense left and right was sent away, and we can't find our heads."
