This young man is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with handsome facial features, but he gives people a warm feeling. When he saw Shuning, he was also stunned.

Shu Ning felt that he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and glanced at the purse embroidered with dragon patterns on his waist, and guessed whether it would be the fifth elder brother. It turns out that he has already returned from Wutai Mountain? Are you still not giving up on Wanning?

She bowed uprightly and asked, "I wonder who your Excellency is?" Why are you standing in front of the second sister's hospital? The young man smiled slightly: "It turns out that you are Shuning." I'm Yinqi. He turned his head, looked at the courtyard and said, "I'm here to find your second sister, but I don't know if she wants to see me." ”

Sure enough, it's him, after a few months in the Buddhist temple, he still can't forget Wanning? She sighed again: The charm of the Qing Woman is really invincible, although it is only effective for a certain person.

Shuning said: "This is the inner courtyard, the fifth elder brother is a guest, why don't you see people with you?" Since you're here, why don't you let people know? The maids in the courtyard, don't they know how to treat guests? ”

The fifth elder brother was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I've been here a lot before, and everyone below is used to it, right?" Wanning didn't like me to bring a lot of people with me, so I left them all in front. In the past, she had told the girls not to let me in, and I didn't dare to make a mistake. However, there was a girl ring who seemed to be new and didn't know it, so she reported it to me. I hope Wan Ning won't blame her. ”

As he was talking, Yuehe came out of it and was a little surprised when she saw Shuning, but she still respectfully said to the fifth elder brother: "Girl, please come into the house to serve tea." The fifth elder brother was overjoyed, the gloomy color on his face was swept away, and he nodded to Shuning in a hurry, and hurried in.

Yuehe glanced at Shuning and lowered her eyes: "Why is the third girl here?" But do you want to go into the house and look for our girl? Shuning smiled: "I'm here to talk to the big sister." Just drop by. Go back. Then he turned and walked towards Fang Ning's house.

Fang Ning is in good spirits, she has just finished chanting, and she is interested in saying a few words of gossip. The material that Shuning brought. It is a light blue plain weave, which is elegant and thick. Fang Ning liked it very much, smiled and thanked him and accepted it. The two sisters talked about their parents' shortcomings, and Shuning also mentioned interesting things that happened when teaching her two younger brothers homework, which caused Fang Ning to chuckle.

Shuning took the opportunity to say, "If the eldest sister is free, come and help me discipline those two monkeys, right?" They're getting naughty now. I can't do it alone. Fang Ning stopped laughing, was stunned for a while, and then said: "I don't know what to do...... Shu Ning hurriedly said: "Sister doesn't have to do anything, just chant the scriptures to them, they don't dare to act rashly." Those two monkeys are the best at watching people cook! Fang Ning smiled.

Shuning knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, and could only be done gradually, so she slowly talked about other funny things and stopped mentioning this request. Fang Ning also gradually relaxed. said that the biological mother's illness has improved recently, and she is almost better, and she has a smile on her face for a long time.

As he spoke. saw the girl waiting for Fang Ning lure Qiaoyun in. Shuning and Fangning invited her to sit down, and Qiaoyun waved her hand and said, "I'm just here to pass the word." The girls don't have to be busy. Then he said to Shuning: "Our girl invites the third girl over." The fifth elder brother and the second master Shun are here. ”

Shuning was stunned and asked, "Why did the second brother come over?" The second sister has a foreign visitor. Why do you want to invite me over? Qiaoyun said: "It was the girl who asked someone to go back to the eldest lady and invited the second master Shun to accompany her, saying that there was a male guest coming, and it was not appropriate for her to accompany a girl's family." Now that there are two masters, it is said that they invited three more girls to come, so that the number of men and women is equal. ”

What is the rationale for this? It's not a blind date, so why should there be an equal number of men and women?

Wait, Wan Ning isn't trying to make an idea, right? Shu Ning's heart was full of alarm bells. She hadn't forgotten Wan Ning's weird words and deeds back then, if she wanted to use herself and a certain member of the Digital Legion as a matchmaker, she would definitely avoid it. What's more, the number who is here now has Wanning in his heart?

Just thinking about it, Fang Ning spoke next to her: "Since the second sister invited you to go, you can go, Sister Qiaoyun came to invite her in person, don't let her run in vain." One sentence made Qiao Yunmei smile: "Thank you for raising the eldest girl." ”

Shuning smiled and said, "It's just to pass the word, why bother Sister Qiaoyun to come in person?" Just call a little girl and say it. Qiaoyun paused and said with a smile: "I am Yahuan, so naturally I have to do what Yahuan should do." The three girls hurry up, I'm afraid that they are all in a hurry. ”

Shuning asked, "Do you want me to be the only one?" Why don't you invite a big sister? Qiaoyun was speechless, and Fangyun said lightly: "Her friends come, I have never gotten away, and I am tired now, you just go to play, don't worry about me." Shuning smiled: "Isn't it possible for the big sister to drive me away?" Actually, I was here to deliver the material, but I pulled my sister to talk about some gossip, a lot of breath, there are many things at home, if I go back late, E-Niang will talk about me again. If it's not too early today, I should go back too. Then he turned around and said to Qiaoyun with a smile: "Sister Qiaoyun came to invite, I shouldn't have resigned, but I'm going back to the house to help Eniang take care of the housework, please help me report to the second sister." ”

Qiao Yun persuaded a few words, and saw that although Shuning was smiling, she had no intention of changing her mind, so she was no longer reluctant. In her opinion, it was a strange thing for her own girl to ask someone to accompany her when she received the prince, and it was even more strange to invite another girl to go.

As soon as Qiao Yun left, Shuning said goodbye to Fang Ning, who knew it in his heart and didn't say anything. Shuning went to the main house, planning to ask Nala for peace by the way, but who knew that Yahuan said that the eldest lady had gone to the girl's house, so she didn't say much, and took a detour to the backyard and returned to her own courtyard. In the evening, Wanning came to Huaiyuan and complained that she was specially invited to not go, so Shuning said: "There are many things at home, and I always have to share my worries for my mother." What's more, you have a male guest, it's serious to ask the second brother to accompany you, what am I going to do? Wan Ning squeaked, and said for a long time: "They are all young people of the same age, you should know more friends, and the fifth elder brother is very good-looking, good-looking, and kind, you will definitely feel very happy if you get along with him more." What's more, there are many things to do at home. It's nothing to procrastinate, where is it going to be done in such an hour? ”

Shuning said: "The second sister is confused, if she is almost a child of someone else." can also be called a friend, the fifth elder brother is the prince of the heavenly family. I'm not like you, I've been playing together since I was a child, how can I make friends casually? You see that the fourth elder brother is related to our family, and my brother has known him for several years, and he occasionally interacts on weekdays. I have never forgotten the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. What's more, we are not as good as when we were children, and we are still better off avoiding suspicion. She paused and glanced at Wan Ning: "Speaking of which, didn't the second sister be unapologetic to the fifth elder brother in the past?" Why didn't you invite him in today, and said such a bunch of good things, and the second sister changed her mind? ”

Wan Ning bit her lip and said, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't be too rude to the prince?" I reflected. He's actually really nice, but I don't like it, so I'm very polite to him Those things 5200 folk. But when facing him. I really don't know what to say, it's so embarrassing. If it weren't for the moon lotus. I can only sit in a daze. Later, Eniang and the second brother came. The scene is better. But my mind hasn't changed at all, but I'm more sensible than I used to be. It's just not that tough anymore. My mother also said that I should have done this a long time ago. ”

Shuning smiled slightly: "Actually, our mothers are very powerful and very capable, we should learn more from them." The second sister knows that my mother has taught me a lot of tricks to manage the servants, and I know that there is so much knowledge here. ”

When Wan Ning heard this, she became a little interested, so she chased after and asked what the trick was. Shuning picked something to tell her in a simple way, and then slowly turned the topic to the gossip and anecdotes of the servants at home. Wan Ning talked with great interest, completely forgetting the original intention.

Shuning's voice: My mother personally passed on the first practice of fooling Dafa, and it was successful!! I was the dividing line at the beginning of November

The following days were spent uneventfully. Duan Ning has been living in Fangshan and has not returned, but Wang Er came back to report that the house has been renovated and flowers are being replanted. Because a suitable gardener was found locally, there was no need to hire someone from Beijing, and the budget cost was greatly reduced. The silver saved, suggested by Duan Ning, and after getting the consent of Zhang Bao and Tong, he installed glass windows in several rooms over there.

Xiao Liu was already packing his and his son's luggage, preparing to move over first.

Tong inquired that his son was doing well, and he was also working hard in studying and practicing martial arts, so he put his mind at ease. She had quietly sent someone to inquire about the Korqin Taiji, it was said that the wedding of his family Da Gege and Prince Kang's prince had ended, and that Taiji was planning to take his youngest daughter back to the grassland, and even reported the day, but the eldest daughter repeatedly persuaded them to stay in Beijing for the winter before leaving. Taiji was originally a little moved, but at this time, the palace had already made an order to hold a special farewell banquet for him, and said that the emperor would personally give them a ride, so he had to reject the kindness of his eldest daughter and prepare to set off as originally planned.

The Tong family was relieved to learn the exact date when Taiji's family left Beijing. In order to avoid running into Na Danzhu and Yucheng, classmates of the national eunuch, Duan Ning has already missed an autumn exercise under the pretense of being sick, but if he misses the exam class once every ten days, it will not be good, God knows what the professors will think? The Tong family sent someone to Fangshan to send a letter to Duanning, asking him to return to Beijing the day before the exam.

I thought that the matter was over, but who knows, just the day before that Korqin Taiji left Beijing, Na Danzhu and Yucheng came to the Earl's Mansion again. The people guarding the door had already received Tong's orders, and only said that the fourth young master was not at home, welcomed them to the flower hall, and then reported to Huaiyuan urgently.

Zhang Bao and Tong happened to be absent, so they went to Tong's house together. Shuning's nominal grandmother has been a little sick recently, and they went to visit. Shuning took the report, thought about it, told Xianning to practice calligraphy well, tidied up her clothes and hair, and went to the flower hall.

When she saw Na Danzhu, Shuning was stunned again. Although this Gege was not dressed in red and green, he only wore a royal blue robe, but there were a lot of jewels on his head. She had sheepskin boots on her feet and a whip in her hand, and she appeared to have come on horseback.

Shuning bowed uprightly and greeted Na Danzhu with a smile: "I don't know that Ge Gefang is coming, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Na Danzhu frowned: "I was fine last time, why did I talk so sour today?" ”

Shuning still smiled: "I heard that Gege is here to find his brother, but unfortunately he is not in Beijing now, and I am really sorry that you are tired of running in vain." ”

"Not there? Hmph, you're avoiding me, aren't you? Nadanzhu shook the whip in her hand, "Knowing that I'm leaving tomorrow, you don't want to see me, right?" ”

Shuning "looked surprised": "Are you leaving tomorrow?" We didn't know, but it's a shame that we thought you would spend the winter in Kyoto. She shook her head and sighed.

Seeing her like this, Na Danzhu's face looked better: "You really don't know? ”

"I really don't know, our family has been closed recently, and we have been keeping filial piety at home recently, and we haven't heard much about anything outside. Why did Gege leave so quickly? Stay a few more days? ”

Nadanzhu stomped her foot and said, "Do you think I don't want to? My father refused to say yes. Yucheng pulled her sleeve a little embarrassed: "Gege, Taiji also has a hard time, don't complain anymore." ”

"What's the trouble?!" Na Danzhu glared, "Isn't that old woman celebrating her sixtieth birthday?" What does she have to do with our family? I've grown so big that I've only seen her four times. It's her birthday, why do you want me to go? ”

"Gege!" Yucheng glanced at Shuning, and saw that she didn't seem to be paying attention, so he whispered to Na Danzhu: "That's the princess of the Qing Dynasty, don't say such things in front of outsiders." ”

Nadanzhu shook him off and became angry. Shuning persuaded with a smile: "Gege doesn't have to be sad, the elders' birthdays are a big deal, and the sixtieth birthday is even more rare." The future is long, and there will always be a time to meet again in the future. "Can't your brother come back? Now go and call him, you can always see him before I go, right? ”

"Why didn't Gege say it earlier?" Shuning looked regretful, "My brother is out of town now, even if he calls someone to notify him, it will take two days to go back and forth, and it will be too late anyway." ”

Na Danzhu was very depressed: "It's all my father's fault, he hasn't allowed me to go out, otherwise I came over two days earlier, wouldn't I be able to call Brother Duanning back?" "Hmph, if you come two days earlier, her brother's place will become a place that will take four days to arrive.

Na Danzhu had nowhere to vent her sullen stomach, and saw Shuning standing there dignified and smiling at herself, and she was not angry with her, so she shook the whip a few times, but it just swept Yucheng's arm, and he screamed out in pain. She glared at him, "What's it called?" This little injury is also called, you are also worthy of being our descendant of Horqin? Then he threw another whip on the ground and turned away.

Yucheng was full of grievances and looked at Shuning, but only saw the other party looking at him coldly, stunned for a moment, his face was a little pale, and he hurriedly made a gesture and left.

Shuning watched his back disappear and felt that she didn't sympathize with him at all. Duanning's classmate, I heard that his mother is also from Horqin, but he is not a royal family, and his family background has also been ruined. I don't know if it was for this reason that he was very stammered with Nadanzhu's family, and even did not hesitate to betray his classmates, but apparently his approach did not win the favor of Nadanzhu's family, and was even despised. But everyone is responsible for their own choices, and she doesn't give away extra compassion.

Nadanjo's family left the next day. As soon as Tong got the exact news, he called someone to inform his son that there were only two days left before the exam. Duan Ning easily returned home, enjoyed the good soup and dishes specially prepared by her mother and sister, and devoted herself to the review of her homework again.

And Tong and Shuning began to prepare for the move.
