Ning Ruyan heard that it was Liniang who came to look for her, it was really a black line, and she had no contact with the other party, okay? I even met it on the day of the accident, and I haven't seen it since then, and I haven't even spoken, so why did I come to her?

"Miss, otherwise, I'll send her away." Angelica spoke.

Ning Ruyan groaned for a while: "Well, let's just say that I'm unwell." ”

Bai Zhi turned around and walked out, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she was stopped by Ning Ruyan.

"Let's let her in."

"Miss?"

"If you want to make the General's Mansion chaotic, this person should be able to be a knife."

Bai Zhi instantly understood, and sped up her pace to go out.

Soon, Li Niang walked in with Ai Ai in the late stage of Bai Zhi's body, and knelt down for Ning Ruyan when she entered the door: "Concubine, I've seen the eldest lady." ”

"Sit down." Ning Ruyan gestured, "I don't know why Li Niang came?" ”

"The concubine has been in the house for a few days, and I have time to come to the eldest lady to say goodbye today, and I ask the eldest lady to forgive me."

"I'm a widow now, and you can remember to come and say hello to me, and it really touches me." Ning Ruyan suddenly smiled when she heard this

At this time, Banxia had already sent refreshments.

"This is the dim sum made by the chef I brought from Gusu, you can try it." Ning Ruyan gestured.

"The begonia cake is wrapped in a good one, and it is sent to Lang Zhinon to break his intestines." Li Niang glanced at the snack, suddenly her eyes were slightly red, and she reached out and pinched a piece, "The concubine hasn't eaten this begonia cake for a long time." ”

"Li Niang actually recognizes this Gusu's begonia cake?" Ning Ruyan was surprised.

"Don't hide it from the eldest lady, the concubine is from Gusu, and when her mother was alive, she often made this begonia cake, but later her parents passed away...... The concubine went north to look for relatives, but it was just ...... The relatives are gone. When Li Niang said this, her emotions had calmed down, and she smiled apologetically at Ning Ruyan later, "I was a little excited when I saw things in my hometown all of a sudden." ”

"So we're fellow countrymen." Ning Ruyan was surprised, "Originally, you came back with the second uncle, but I thought you were from Suixian." ”

The Jiang family's hometown is Suixian, about a hundred miles away from the capital, and it still belongs to the north, which is far away from Gusu.

"No, the concubine met a hooligan on the way to Beijing, and the second young master passed by to save the concubine." Li Niang smiled, "At that time, he was like a god descending to earth, letting the concubine ......" and then said shyly.

"I know, but you're really fate." Ning Ruyan smiled.

"Originally, the concubine thought that God had mercy on the concubine once, but I didn't expect ......," Liniang said and tears fell again, "I didn't expect that just gave the concubine hope, it was shattered again, and the concubine's life is so bitter." ”

"Hey." Ning Ruyan sighed, "It's not easy for us women, I've just married my husband and set out on the expedition, looking forward to it, looking forward to becoming a widow, it's not easy to be a widow, but it's still framed, ......you say, "You said" followed by tears, "How do you say you should live in the future?" ”

Li Niang was a little stunned, but she didn't expect Ning Ruyan to cry after her, what should she say later? Of course, the purpose of her coming was not to recognize the other party and cry, so she hurriedly wiped her tears, got up and saluted: "It's all bad for concubines, and it makes the eldest lady sad." ”

"No, it's just empathy."

"Concubine...... Isolated and helpless in this house, I also asked the eldest lady to help, and the concubine must be a cow and a horse in the future. Li Niang knelt down again.

"Hey." Ning Ruyan got up and went over to help the person up, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that now it's the general's wife, that is, my mother-in-law, who is in charge of everything." ”

"What then?" Li Niang's tears fell again, "Now that the concubine has entered the mansion, if she is kicked out, what will ...... I'm afraid that concubine has only one way to die, woo woo......"

"Liniang." Ning Ruyan patted her hand, "Actually, it's not impossible." ”

"Ask the eldest lady for advice."

"But if I do this, if my mother-in-law knows, then I ......" Ning Ruyan looked very embarrassed, "Then I really have no place in the mansion." ”

"Don't worry, the eldest lady, the concubine will never betray the lady."

"Okay." Ning Ruyan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "Do you know that now is the filial piety period in the mansion?" ”

Li Niang nodded, that is, because of this, she has not had an affair with Jiang Bowen so far, so she can't trip him, man, you have to taste it.

"There are regulations in the Great Xia Kingdom, and if there is filial piety in the family, there can be no entertainment activities for at least a month." Ning Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, in fact, this regulation is just a decoration many times, relying on self-consciousness, after all, who can go to someone's bedside at night to see if the couple are doing exercise?

But if someone is more serious, especially the families of those ministers, once someone is stabbed out, it is a big sin.

"What does this have to do with concubines?" Li Niang doesn't know much about the law.

"If the second young master has a skin-to-skin relationship with that person, do you think that once it is revealed, will the mansion keep that or keep the second young master?"

Li Niang groaned for a while, but soon her eyes lit up, and she bowed again: "Thank you, lady." ”

"Hmm." Ning Ruyan nodded, "If you need it, you can ask Amber for help, although she is in Wutong Courtyard, she is my mother-in-law's person." ”

Li Niang nodded, then turned and left.

"Miss, is she really from Gusu?" Bai Zhi looked at Li Niang's figure and frowned.

"She said you believed it?" Ning Ruyan smiled.

"But she knows the begonia cake."

Ning Ruyan picked up a piece of begonia cake and took a bite: "This begonia cake is my mother's original." ”

"This is Madame's original?" Bai Zhi was surprised, "It's been ten years since I arrived at the Ning family, and I didn't know it. ”

"Isn't that normal?" Ning Ruyan took another bite of the pastry, "And that poem existed a long time ago, and it wasn't made specifically for this begonia cake at all, she inquired about my details, but unfortunately, all she knew was the news released by my father after this begonia cake was sold in Ning's restaurant." ”

"No wonder." Bai Zhi nodded, "But, you let the second young master and that Miss Xu ......"

"In the end, whether she will fulfill those two people or let herself succeed in the position depends on whether she is smart or not." Ning Ruyan finished eating the remaining pastries in her hand, and took another sip of tea, "You can divide the rest, it won't taste right after a long time, I'll go to rest." ”

————

Begonia cake is one of the top ten pastries in Gusu, but the history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, and the text of the smoke is an overhead dynasty, but it must be before the Qing Dynasty.
