Chapter 28: Uninvited Guests
Although he was entangled by Princess Huairou for some hours, Xie Yunyan was very happy.
The joy came inexplicably, and when I returned to Xie's Mansion, I smiled when I met people.
The Duchess was about to go out, staring at Xie Yunyan's cheerful back, and turned her head to ask the maidservant next to her, "Did he take the wrong medicine?" ”
"Madam, the prince has always been pleasant."
"Nope! His smile today is particularly cheap! ”
……
Early the next morning, Ning Shu dressed up for Long Shan on a whim.
She took out the rouge gouache she bought yesterday and slapped it wantonly on Long Shan's face.
Long Shan was so restrained that he didn't dare to move.
After tossing for a full hour, Long Shan's "makeover" finally achieved initial results.
"Shall we go and see?" Ning Shu was very satisfied with her work and looked at Long Shan with a smile.
Long Shan didn't have much thought about it, but when he saw the figure reflected in the mirror, there were slight fluctuations in his dark eyes.
"This, this ......"
Long Shan in the mirror was wearing an apricot-colored tunic dress, and his originally wide forehead was covered by a strand of fine bangs.
Her thick eyebrows and big eyes have also become thin willow leaf curved eyebrows, reducing the original sharpness and adding a touch of gentleness.
Ning Shu was a little proud, "How is it?" Isn't it quite the charm of a woman from the Qi Kingdom? ”
"Actually, I ......"
Ning Shu stepped forward and grabbed her hands and interrupted her branches, "Long Shan, I know that you hate Miao Jiang, and even you hate your appearance. ”
"It's not your fault that you were in the first place with a fate that you could choose. But in the days to come, I hope you can live happily and freely. ”
Long Shan's ancient well-like eyes flickered with sparkles, and since she picked up a life in a mass grave, she was alive and well.
I hate my appearance even more.
Now......
Long Shan's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down in front of Ning Shu.
"For the rest of my life, the slave and maid are willing to serve the girl, and they are willing to do it."
"Hurry up."
Ning Shu pulled Long Shan's arm and smiled, "In the future, you can do whatever you want, don't do what you don't want to do, by my side, no one can force you." ”
"Thank you, girl."
Long Shan is not good at words, although Ning Shu has only done some seemingly ordinary little things, but in Long Shan's heart, he has been classified as "grace is like a mountain".
"Knock knock."
The master and servant were still immersed in a feeling of sympathy, and suddenly someone knocked on the door of the inn, and Long Shan hurriedly wiped away the tears in his eyes and went to open the door.
"Who?"
"Shu'er? Is that you, Shu'er? ”
A middle-aged woman's voice echoed outside the door.
Long Shan looked back and asked Ning Shu for instructions, and Ning Shu nodded confusedly.
As soon as the door opened, a woman in a purple skirt entered.
Go straight to Ning Shu.
Under Ning Shu's ignorant expression, she affectionately grabbed her jade hand and kept rubbing it in her palm.
"Is it really you? You kid, why don't you say go home when you go back to Beijing? Do you know how much your grandmother thinks about you? ”
"Auntie?"
Ning Shu fixed her eyes on her wife's appearance and recognized that the person who came was the mother of the Ning family's big house.
Just, how did she find here?
"yes, I don't even remember my aunt? In the past, my aunt loved you the most......"
Mrs. Ning looked at Ning Shu with some complaints, "Let my aunt take a look, our Shu'er has become more and more smart in the past two years......
Ning Shu withdrew her hand with a dry smile, took a step back and said, "I just returned to Beijing at this time, so it's not good to trouble my aunt......
Mrs. Ning didn't stand the ravages of the years, her face was full of wrinkles when she smiled, compared to Ning Shu's mother, she looked more than ten years older.
Actually, she didn't want to come either.
Yesterday, the first time I heard the news, I was thinking about how to turn away the people in the second room.
Patiently hearing that Master Ning said that the emperor personally ordered Ning Zhengjie to be recalled, after weighing the pros and cons, she got up early in the morning to look for someone.
"How is this trouble?" Mrs. Ning pretended to be displeased, "It's all a family, how can there be a reason to live in an inn when you return to the capital?" ”
"When you went out of Beijing, I also went to find your uncle and asked him to bring some silver taels to the second uncle, but your uncle had just been transferred to Honglu Temple at that time, and there were a lot of things at hand, and when he rushed to find the second uncle, he knew that you had already set off......"
What a high-sounding excuse!
Ning Shu smiled silently.
Mrs. Ning was not embarrassed, and forced out a trace of melancholy, "Aunt knows that the second uncle must have misunderstood that we didn't go to see each other......"
Ning Shu didn't know whether she was sent off or not, and she didn't care.
She just wanted to find out what Madam Ning was secretly thinking now.
"Auntie, I went back to Beijing separately from my father, and my father has not yet entered the capital......"
"Aunt knows, Lord Xie sent you back, right? This Lord Xie is really a good person, listen to your uncle, or Lord Xie admonished in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty rewarded you with a house in the east of the city? ”
Ning Shu: ???
It turned out to be him?
Mrs. Ning's words were too informative, and after Ning Shu digested them for a while, she put aside the matter of the house, and her clear eyes seemed to see through Mrs. Ning's intentions.
"Auntie is here to find Lord Xie?"
"What are these words?" Mrs. Ning's eyes seemed to be lost in sand, and she blinked quickly, "Aunt is here to take you home." ”
She, a woman in the house, looked for Xie Yunyan and thought she couldn't speak. Even her son-in-law from the Houmen family saw Xie Yunyan......
Master Kening is now a seven-rank civil official in Honglu Temple, and his promotion is far away.
Her thoughts are very simple, Ning Zhengjie has been recalled to Kyoto now, even if his identity is not the same as before, at least he is not a criminal.
And Ning Shu was on the same road with Xie Yunyan along the way, so they should be more or less close.
As long as Ning Shu can say a few more words on the premise of Xie Yunshen's roots, it is good for Xie Yunshen to notice that Master Ning is such a person.
finally caught a glimmer of hope, how could Mrs. Ning let go of this opportunity that was the envy of everyone in the capital?
"Auntie." Ning Shu's tone was flat, "When I was separated from my father, my father told me not to go anywhere in the inn until I joined him. ”
"I guess my father wanted to take my mother and me to say hello to my grandmother personally, right? I appreciate the kindness of my aunt, and I ask my aunt to forgive my father's filial piety......"
Mrs. Ning's willow eyebrows were raised, and she looked at Ning Shu reproachfully: "How can this work?" Your grandmother said that if I didn't bring anyone back today, I wouldn't even have to go back! ”
"Shu'er, don't you want to see your aunt sleeping on the streets?"
Old Madam Ning specifically said that she didn't say this, and Ning Shu thought that she wouldn't know.
But looking at Mrs. Ning's posture, I'm afraid that if she doesn't go back to Ning Mansion with her today, she will be stuck to Ning Shu.
Sighing secretly, Ning Shu "attributed" the root of this matter to Xie Yunyan.
"Alright then, aunt let me pack my bags,"
