Chapter Ninety-Nine
Hongmei avoided people's eyes, quickened her pace to the lotus pond, and quickly disposed of the four piles of ashes left over from the paper money burned last night, and after she was done, she patted it, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in the hibiscus forest, and she was suspicious, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is nothing in the hibiscus woods.
Hongmei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it seemed that she had become less bold and suspicious, and she stepped out of the hibiscus forest.
Unbeknownst to her, behind her, a figure fluttered down from the top of a tall hibiscus tree, staring at the back of Hongmei's fading away.
The woman's senses are extremely keen, Hongmei noticed something strange behind her, turned her head suddenly, a gust of autumn wind rose, and the child's palm-sized hibiscus petals flew all over the sky, and other than that, there was nothing.
She woke up at dawn and the smoke of Zhiqingyuan, she didn't sleep well last night like Mrs. Xu, but she was not because of a weak heart, but because of her heart.
Early yesterday morning, she endured the hot and mocking gaze of the Fang Mansion family Ding Shi and stood in front of the gate of the Fang Mansion, waiting for Mrs. Xu's sedan chair.
She knew Mrs. Xu's schedule and rest, and every morning she had to go to Nuwa Temple to incense Nuwa Niangniang.
Mrs. Xu's sedan chair was lifted out of the house, she pounced on it regardless of life or death, bluffed Mrs. Xu in the sedan chair, and hurriedly asked her what was going on, Ning Yan pulled her to a secluded place and cried for a long time, Mrs. Xu finally understood what she meant, she wanted to participate in Zichen's recognition ceremony tomorrow night, and took the opportunity to beg the old lady to let her go back, and to accompany Ruochen, Mrs. Xu took pity on her and promised to go to the old lady to beg, so that their whole family could attend Zichen's recognition ceremony.
Since she returned home, she has been waiting for Mrs. Xu's letter uneasily, but she didn't see Mrs. Xu send anyone until midnight, and her heart was already cold.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible to do both.
She had already made a wishful thinking, as long as she could enter the Fang Mansion justifiably, she would have the opportunity to hook the Golden Turtle Son-in-law according to Jiaxiang's plan, and she would also seize the opportunity to slap her face in public with the old immortal, and let out the evil anger in her heart, otherwise she would have a wasted expression of death or life in front of Mrs. Xu?
But now, all the calculations have failed.
When Ning Yan was thinking about it, he heard Cheng's overjoyed voice from outside the door: "Yan'er, get up quickly, there is good news!"
Ning Yan pulled the quilt in disgust, covered her head, and scolded disdainfully in her heart, what good news can you have as a poor ghost, at most, you gave a few less copper coins when you bought vegetables, or grabbed a few more handfuls of rice when you bought rice!
Cheng's patted the door even more happily outside, and his voice was full of irrepressible joy: "Yan'er, your aunt sent a request to invite us to Zichen's confession ceremony tonight!"
Although Ning Yan covered her head, she could hear every word clearly, she was pleasantly surprised, lifted the quilt, and a carp sat up.
Jiaxiang's voice came from outside the door: "Mother, don't shout, my sister may not have woken up yet, let her sleep more, the girl will look good when she sleeps enough, our family is now poor and can't afford fat powder to wipe her sister's face, and don't let her sleep to beautify?"
Jiaxiang's words are a holy decree for Cheng's family, and she is busy responding to "yes, yes".
Ning Yan hurriedly shouted in the house: "I'm awake! I'm awake!" hurriedly jumped out of bed, didn't even bother to put on a piece of clothing, only wore a belly pocket, pulled off his shoes, ran to open the door in a panic, and asked Cheng: "Is it true?
Cheng said happily: "Of course it's true, I'll joke about such things?"
The old man Ji also came over, a pair of lustful eyes swept around Ning Yan's body with bad intentions, a salivating vulgar face, and said with a smile: "I can finally let go of my belly and eat meat tonight, and my mouth is about to fade out of the bird every day!"
Ning Yan was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he thought that if he took advantage of his eyes, he would not lose anything, so he was calm.
Jiaxiang also had a happy face, and told Ning Yan: "You have to seize the opportunity, if you miss this village, there will be no store." ”
Ning Yan nodded.
Cheng was confused and asked, "What are your brothers and sisters talking about, why can't I understand half of a sentence?"
Jiaxiang looked at each other and smiled, and walked away, leaving Cheng standing in place and sighing, her children are older, her wings are stiff, and she doesn't take her as a mother in her eyes.
Vanilla waited for Ning Yan to finish dressing up, just picking up leaves, and breakfast was ready.
Ning Yan came to the banquet place, glanced at the Hu table, a few bowls of porridge, a few dishes of pickles, and suddenly lost his appetite, but he still reluctantly sat down - people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat hungry at a meal, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to calculate people?
Cheng Shi smiled and took out two boiled eggs, and said to Ning Yan: "In the future, I will cook two eggs for you every morning to make up for your body, I look so thin, it's pitiful." As he spoke, he reached out and stroked her thin wrist.
Ning Yan frowned slightly in disgust, withdrew his hand, and Cheng's expression froze.
After breakfast, Cheng Shi saw that Ning Yan didn't move the two boiled eggs, thinking that she was used to eating in the Fang Mansion, and she must not be able to look down on the two eggs, so she said cautiously: "Why don't you eat eggs, just eat them, that's all the good things my mother can come up with." ”
As soon as Jiaji heard it, he was about to come and grab it: "My sister doesn't like it, I don't dislike me to eat!"
Ning Yan hurriedly grabbed the two boiled eggs in his hands, and said coldly: "Who said I don't eat it!"
When I arrived in my boudoir, I saw that Vanilla was cleaning up the room, and pretended to be concerned: "I asked you when I combed my hair in the morning, and you said that your head is still a little dizzy, so rest, why are you doing things again?"
Vanilla smiled and said, "How can we be so squeamish as girls?"
Ning Yan pulled her to sit down and said, "Good sister, let's do it later." As he spoke, he took out two boiled eggs, "This is what my mother specially cooked for me to eat, and I was reluctant to eat it, so I specially left it for my sister to eat." ”
Vanilla hurriedly excused herself: "Miss eat it herself, the slave has eaten breakfast." ”
Ning Yan said: "You left a lot of blood yesterday, and these two eggs are for you." ”
Vanilla smiled and said, "A little skin trauma is not in the way, thank you Miss for your concern." He still refused to take the two eggs.
Ning Yan deliberately sneered: "Sister don't want it, it's just that you're still angry with me!"
Seeing that she was talking about this, Vanilla had to take it, thanked her, and put the two eggs in her purse.
Ning Yan saw it in her eyes and didn't ask much, guessing that she wanted to give away those two eggs.
Sure enough, after the end of the day, Vanilla found an excuse to go out. (To be continued.) )
