Chapter 11: Ning Huan
Lin Zheng held his mother's picture scroll and stood in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion for a short time, and then waited for Ningde. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the other party is obviously prepared.
On the way from the back house to the front door, Ning De explained to him Ning Yuanshan's arrangements.
Because of Lin Zheng's return, he will take over some of his mother's industries back then. Including a mountain villa, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and several transactions in the city.
Although it has been more than ten years since Lin Mu disappeared, these properties have been operating separately, and there are clear accounts to be checked. And over the years, the business has been good. The profits from a few transactions in the city alone add up to tens of thousands of taels. And now the place they are going to is the mountain villa located outside the field.
Lin Zheng didn't expect that he would have so much net worth as soon as he learned about his life experience. Thinking about the fact that I was still worried about the next meal just now, this change is like a dream. But he didn't have the joy of being poor for a long time, if these could be exchanged for the reunion of his relatives. He wished he had nothing.
As soon as the two of them left the gate of the Hou Mansion, a carriage happened to stop in front of the door.
The carriage was pulled by four snow-white horses, and the black curtain on the carriage had a character Ning written in the corner. Apparently this is the vehicle of the Hou Mansion.
The curtain was lifted, and a young girl stepped out of the car.
Seeing the people getting out of the car, Ning De and the guards in front of the door bowed and saluted.
"I've seen Miss. ”
Seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Zheng was stunned on the spot.
The girl and Lin Zheng are similar in age, wearing a light green Luo skirt, with a straight nose and a pretty mouth, bright eyes like water, as if they can speak, and there is an indescribable elegance in their gestures.
But this is not the reason why he is dazed, the reason why he is so is because he clearly sees the shadow of his mother in the picture scroll from the girl's face.
The girl saw Lin Zheng's stunned appearance, and Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly. In Jinyang City, she had seen too many people with the same expressions, and Lin Zheng was included in it by her without surprise.
"Uncle De, you're back. Who is he? The girl's voice was like water and song, but it was obviously cold.
Ning De hurriedly introduced the two.
"This is Young Master Lin Zheng, Miss Wanrong's child, who has just returned from other places. Young Master Cousin, this is Master Hou's daughter, Miss Ning Huan. ”
Hearing the introduction, Ning Huan thought about it carefully, and suddenly stared.
Here, Lin Zheng came back to his senses and was just about to greet him, but was interrupted by Ning Huan, who was meeting for the first time.
"Are you my aunt's child?" Ning Huan's eyes were filled with scrutiny and a bit of inexplicable rejection.
After saying this, Ning Huan ignored the two of them and went straight into the Hou Mansion.
The inexplicable emotions shown by the girl made Lin Zheng raise his hand in mid-air, a little embarrassed.
Could it be that he offended the other party somewhere? No, I just came to Jinyang.
"Don't mind, young master, Miss may have encountered something unpleasant. Ningde hurriedly made a round.
Of course Lin Zheng wouldn't care about this little thing. Lin Zheng was a little more curious about this cousin's appearance. However, it is just curiosity.
The two walked on the street, originally Ning De wanted to call a carriage, but Lin Zheng refused the other party's kindness in order to learn more about his mother.
Looking at the backs of the two of them drifting apart, a guard in front of the Hou Mansion was crying with a sad face. I can't wait to give myself two slaps in the face.
'It's all these dog eyes, now it's okay, offended the nephew of the Hou Ye, and the good days of watching the gate are over. ’
Lin Zheng and the others hadn't walked far out of the Hou Mansion when a high-headed horse with a red color came towards them. Immediately sat a girl dressed in bright red clothes, the girl raised the horsewhip in her hand, waved it at Ningde mischievously, and galloped past. Ning De seemed to be very familiar with the other party, and also nodded to the person on the horse.
After Herod's neighing, the horse stopped in front of the Hou Mansion. Immediately the girl jumped down neatly, threw the whip to the guard, and ran into the gate.
The girl came to an attic in the back house, and someone was dancing with a sword in the courtyard in front of the attic. In the bursts of sword light, there was a chill that the girl had never seen before.
"Sister Huan. ”
Hearing the girl's shout, Ning Huan put away his sword and stood still.
"Wei'er, why are you here. ”
This girl is Dong Wei'er, the beloved daughter of the current city lord of Jinyang City, and the two have always been very pretentious in private.
"It's okay to stay, I'm going to play with you. Dong Weier said with a grin.
"Didn't your father let you practice martial arts at home today? ”
Ning Huan led Wei'er to the gazebo next to her and sat down.
"Hmph, the old man and a group of people from Yanjing are hiding in the study, and they don't know what to study. I sneaked out to find you while he wasn't looking. After Dong Wei'er finished speaking, she picked up the tea on the stone table and poured it down.
Dong Wei'er didn't pay attention, but when she heard her words, an imperceptible doubt flashed in Ning Huan's eyes.
"That's right, Sister Huan. I looked at your swordsmanship just now, and I seemed a little irritable, is there something unhappy?"
"It's nothing, it's just seeing someone I don't really like. Ning Huan came back to his senses and said.
"Is it the person who was with Steward Ning just now?" Dong Wei'er said with a pair of big watery eyes.
"How do you know. Dong Wei'er's words made Ning Huan a little surprised. She didn't expect that this usually rough girl would be able to guess.
"Hehe, how can anyone in Jinyang City dare to provoke the 'Frost Jade Girl' Miss Ning. But I also guessed, just before entering the door, I happened to see Steward Ning passing by with a poor boy. I didn't expect to guess correctly. Seeing the surprised expression on Ning Huan's face, Dong Weier showed a smug and mischievous smile.
"Even I dare to tease, I don't think you want to be good. Ning Huan reversed his quiet image and stepped forward to scratch Dong Weier's itch desperately. She understood that she was thinking too much, and Weier didn't have that scheming.
"Sister, I was wrong, you can spare me. Dong Weier immediately begged for mercy.
After frolicking for a while, Ning Huan finally let Dong Weier go.
Dong Wei'er calmed down and said, "Sister, who is that person, who dares to make you angry." ”
"It was my aunt's child, and he didn't make me angry, just seeing him reminded me of something from the past. ”
In fact, Ning Huan didn't have any feelings for the strange Lin Zheng. All of them made the move just now because of some things in the Hou Mansion back then, and she heard some bad rumors from the Ning family's own family.
Back then, my father and grandfather went to the border to fight the enemy, because of the aunt I hadn't met. My grandfather died on the battlefield, and my father was the most promising young genius who was the first to break through the innate and become a martial artist in Jinyang City. Because of this incident, he was seriously injured, and not only has his martial arts cultivation been ineffective for so many years, but the internal injuries on his body are even more difficult to heal.
Moreover, she learned from the rest of the Ning family that the position of the city lord of the Hou Mansion was also taken back by the Yan royal family because of something related to her aunt.
Although Ning Huan also knew that Ning Yuanshan and Mother Lin were brothers and sisters, she had never met Mother Lin after all, let alone had any feelings. Seeing Lin Zheng made her think of her father's injuries and the situation she had suffered in the past few years.
Let's be honest, though. She was also surprised by her fierce performance just now, which was very different from the mature and steady image she usually showed in front of people.
Ning Huan could only explain in his heart, maybe this was just subconscious discomfort and resistance.
Seeing Ning Huan's ever-changing expression, Dong Weier thought she had guessed something, and her face was full of unevenness.
"No matter who he is, as long as he makes Sister Huan unhappy, he is my enemy. I will definitely avenge my sister. As she spoke, Dong Weier waved her pink fist.
"Vier, don't mess around. There is no enmity between us. What if you..."
Seeing that Ning Huan was about to start preaching, Dong Weier hurriedly interrupted.
"Okay, okay, don't reason with me. It's annoying enough for my father to nag in my ear all the time. I don't bother him, you just think I'm amusing you. Dong Wei'er compromised, but a pair of chaotic eyes betrayed her thoughts. Obviously, she has already kept Lin Zheng, a person who is only a one-sided relationship, in her heart.
Ning Huan can't do anything about this sister, but fortunately, Dong Weier is quite measured. Of course, this was just the expectation in her heart.
"Sister Huan, don't talk about this. I just learned a set of whipping techniques, and I happen to be free today, so you can guide me. ”
As she spoke, Dong Weier took out the soft whip coiled around her waist and made a sound in the air. With this set of actions, it can be seen that this weak-looking little girl has good attainments in martial arts.
"That's what you're here for. Since you've said it all, let me show you how powerful the Flame Witch is. ”
