Chapter Twenty-Four: Incense Powder, Ning Ziyan's Gift
Ning Xueyan walked to the table, opened a box, picked some of the pointed nails, put them between the wings of her nose and sniffed it, the light and leisurely fragrance, whether it was powder or taste, was the favorite of the girls nowadays, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "This is not necessary, just put it in the drawer, and wait for me to come back." β
This powder is of the highest quality, it is exactly what I need, I still thought that my current monthly money is not enough to buy such a box, but now Ning Ziyan has sent it to the door, isn't it just right.
This can be regarded as being prepared, when necessary, give the Ling family a hard blow, use the incense powder sent by the eldest daughter, destroy the second daughter, I don't know if the Ling family will go crazy!
"Girl, you can't use it now, if you use it, others will gossip." Mama Han thought that her little girl's family loved beauty, and after thinking about it, her own girl was also pitiful, she had never used such incense powder since she was a child, and her heart was sour, so she no longer stopped it, but only admonished.
"Don't worry, I know, lock it up first!" Ning Xueyan nodded, this incense powder was not originally used by herself, of course she didn't worry about this,
"If only the girl knew!" Mama Han breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does Mama know when my uncle will be able to arrive in the capital?" Ning Xueyan sat down on the table on the side, her little face with a big palm under the light was pensive, it was not at all the carefree appearance of a fourteen-year-old girl, and Mama Han's heart was even more sour, without the protection of the second lady in the future, the girl's life would be even more difficult.
At the same time, she also secretly made up her mind that she must protect the girl in the future!
"The letter that was only sent the night before yesterday is estimated to take about ten days at the earliest."
The Ming family did not write a letter to the eldest brother in the border army at all, it was Ning Xueyan who wrote the letter, but the figure of this uncle left in Ning Xueyan's memory was too vague, and the Ming family did not seem to have a good relationship with this brother, this farewell was more than ten years, and the Ming family had not written a letter for more than ten years, if it weren't for this time Han Mama was sick and rushed to the doctor, and mentioned it to Ning Xueyan, Ning Xueyan really couldn't remember that the Ming family still had such a brother.
At the beginning, Mama Han didn't know what happened, she stammered, and seemed to be hidden, but when it came to her uncle's love for her, Mama Han was not a little ambiguous, and repeatedly affirmed that as long as Ning Xueyan wrote a letter to invite him to come, he would definitely come over, and Ning Xueyan wrote a letter on the spot and asked Mama Han to send her out overnight.
No matter when this uncle comes, but looking at Ning Zuan's reaction that day, he knows that there is a certain deterrent effect on Ning Zuan, and I hope that this uncle really loves himself and can return to Beijing within a month.
"Mama, are the people in the big sister's mansion still there?"
"It's still here, what's the matter with the girl?" Mama Han stopped.
"You go and tell that person, I thank the big sister here, and tell the big sister that you don't have to rush to come to the temple to accompany me, I have Qingyu here, and Lan Ning will be fine with me."
Lan Ning was given to her by the Protector Mansion, that day the Ling family led people into her cloud theater, Lan Ning happened to be not there, Ning Ziyan said that Lan Ning told her to have an affair with a man, she never believed it! If he had doubts before, but seeing that Lan Ning was alone in the Cloud Theater, the Ling family was bent on executing her, and Ning Xueyan's heart was settled.
I don't know if Ning Ziyan has a burden in her heart when she sees Lan Ning again.
Unkasumi Temple
Mama Chen pushed open the door of the inner room in a panic and came in: "Big lady, the old slave brought people over, but no one saw it, the cloud theater was already empty, and Mrs. Ling didn't see the shadow, so the old slave went to Mingshuang Courtyard to inquire, saying that Lan Ning followed the fifth girl back early, and nothing happened." β
"Bang"! The tea in Ling's hand slammed into the coffee table on the side, and her pale and pretty face was distorted in an instant, "This dead beggar didn't do anything good, and when I saw her, I beat her hard." β
It turned out that Mama Chen went to catch her, as long as she saw Ning Xueyan, a cheap girl, and the dead Lan Ning together, she couldn't argue, she didn't expect that not only did she not see anyone, but even Mrs. Ling didn't know where she had gone.
"Big lady, don't worry, the fifth girl is no longer the second lady now, and it won't be all in the palm of your hand in the future, and it's not in a hurry." Mama Lu persuaded in a low voice, "The matter of the second lady, Hou Ye has already become suspicious, you should speak slowly first, otherwise you will really anger Hou Ye." β
"If this cheap girl doesn't die for a day, there will be no peace in this house for a day." Ling gritted his teeth in hatred.
She is injured now and can only lie on the bed, although she doesn't know that it was designed by Ning Xueyan, but the cause is because of Ning Xueyan, at this time, Ning Xueyan naturally gritted her teeth with hatred, and she couldn't wait to tear this cheap girl to pieces on the spot, a lowly slut dared to pit herself like this.
"Big lady, we can't move, and the big girl, if the fifth girl has an accident in Hanshan Temple, it has nothing to do with us." Mama Chen pointed outside and said pointedly, "Master Hou won't be able to find out about us at that time." β
"Okay, you can inform Yan'er in a moment." Ling's eyes lit up, revealing a bit of fine light, and he nodded vigorously.
No matter what happens to that cheap girl in Hanshan Temple, it has nothing to do with her, no matter what the Hou Ye does, she can't be involved in her own head.
Ning Xueyan left the Houguo Mansion early in the morning, except for Mrs. Liu who sent someone to see her off, Ning Zuan and Mrs. Tai did not say anything, and the people in the entire Hou Mansion knew that Ning Xueyan was not favored, so they picked a carriage for her at random and sent her out through the side door.
The sky was still a little dark outside, Ning Xueyan and Qingyu, Lan Ning were crowded in a carriage, and Mama Han was the housekeeper mother of Mingshuang Courtyard, staying to guard the courtyard.
"Girl, can the slave and maid go later...... Fangcai, Fangcai's slave seems to see my aunt outside! Lan Ning, who was just about to get into the car, seemed to see something, a burst of surprise flashed in his eyes, the hand holding the curtain trembled, and then turned around with a pale face Ning Xueyan.
"Your aunt?" Ning Xueyan's gaze also withdrew from the outside of the car, and there was a hint of an uneasy smile on the corner of her lips, if there was nothing, it was very light, but it was not cold.
"Yes, the slave's aunt, I rushed over from outside a while ago, I heard that she was in the field and provoked a ruffian, in order to hide from people, she deliberately went to Beijing to join her relatives, the slave's house is really small, so she rented a house outside, just now she was in a hurry outside the house, I don't know if there is something urgent." Lan Ning bit her lip and explained.
"Since it's your aunt, you can go over, don't really have anything urgent for a while, that kind of ruffian is the most difficult to get, maybe chase after the capital, let your aunt pay attention, I still have a few taels of silver here, you take it to settle your aunt first, come over in a hurry, you must have prepared nothing." Ning Xueyan said softly.
"Thank you, girl!" Lan Ning was a little embarrassed, looked up at Ning Xueyan's sincere smiling face, her eyes were sour, she nodded vigorously, and she didn't refuse, she really didn't have much money in her hands, she couldn't settle Mama Wang well, and now she couldn't let the eldest lady find Mama Wang for the time being.
Watching Lan Ning leave, Ning Xueyan let the carriage go, the corners of her lips unconsciously showed a faint smile, a heart that had been worried for a long time finally fell to the ground, her nurse came back, and she also realized that something was wrong, she didn't enter the mansion directly, otherwise she would inevitably be wiped out by the Ling family, with Lan Ning's protection, the Ling family would not be able to find her for a while, and when she gained a firm foothold on her side, she could be better placed.
In the late autumn season, the leaves on the road are falling, the green cloth car, walking on the road inconspicuously, swaying to the Hanshan Temple, the department has about two hours, only to the Hanshan Temple, the guest monk has changed the small novice, leading them to the female guest side of the wing, suddenly, the sound of the flute came from the ear, with a little sadness in this cold temple.
Ning Xue Yan stood on her heels, and when she heard the first flute, she was like being struck by lightning.
Qingyu thought that she liked to listen to the flute, so she quietly stopped and stood behind her, and Xiao Shami stood obediently under the porch, without disturbing Ning Xueyan's peace.
At the end of the song, the aftermath is lingering, full of endless sadness and sorrow, and the autumn scenery full of withering autumn scenery is harmonious, which makes people feel more sad and sad! Gloomy love!
Ning Xueyan finally made a slight movement, and the corners of her lips slowly swirled with a beautiful smile, but she didn't feel a trace of warmth, only the endless cold after autumn.
In her previous life, this flute sound had appeared in her dreams countless times, lingering for a long time, accompanied by this flute sound, and that handsome face, but now that I think about it, I only feel ridiculous, this is her former fiancΓ©, now Ning Ziyan's husband, the eldest son of the rarely famous criminal department Shangshu Xia Yuhang.
For a while, all kinds of memories of the previous life came to my face like a tide, but in the end, all that was left was cold and heart-wrenching hatred!
"Little master, who is playing the flute?" Ning Xueyan walked slowly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked casually.
"It's the eldest son of Xia from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, he has been living here for two days, and he has been playing the flute on the mountain over there, which sounds very sad." Xiao Shami replied respectfully with a smile.
"Grand Master Xia?" Qingyu was also stunned, and asked casually, "Didn't you say that the eldest prince of Xia only became a relative a few days ago, why did he live in the mountains?" β
"The poor monk doesn't know, I heard that a friend of the eldest prince of Xia is gone, and the eldest prince of Xia is sad, and he went up the mountain the next day of marriage, and he has been staying." Xiao Shami scratched the back of his head and said in confusion.
"That's really a coincidence, Xia Gongzi lives over there?" Ning Xueyan raised his hand and pointed to the mountain, and asked in a relaxed manner, the chill hidden in his eyes was a little more cold than this late autumn, it was originally an order he and Ning Ziyan gave together, and he watched him being pressed into the lotus pond by them and drowned in the water, but at this time he was still pretending to be in love.
If he was still the same Ning Ziying as before, he would inevitably be moved inexplicably, thinking that he was deeply affectionate to him, but now that simple and kind Ning Ziying is dead, and the one who is alive is Ning Xueyan, the fifth girl who crawled out of hell and protected the country's mansion.
