Chapter 274: Attention-grabbing
As soon as she pulled away, she sensed that something was wrong.
Someone still moved their own things.
And the people around him, only two people can use everything about themselves.
Recently, when she has free time, she will run to the kitchen to be busy, learning and studying all kinds of delicious pastries and the like; Xiangzhi has always stayed by her side, but recently she has always lowered her eyebrows and is pleasing to her eyes, and she helps her sew all kinds of clothes and the like whenever she has time.
Between these two people, Ning Ruan felt that Xiangzhi was more suspicious, but she didn't want to wronged anyone.
"Mother, do you have any new good maids lately?" Ning Ruan swallowed the last bite of barley porridge, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked.
"What? Isn't your maid a good one? Mrs. Ning glanced at Ning Ru'an, and her sharp eyes made them kneel on the ground.
"Not really." Ning Ru'an slowly rinsed her mouth with tea, "I just think the yard is a bit big, there are a little fewer people, and it's not lively." ”
Mrs. Ning took her eyes off the subordinate on the side, reached out and took a pair of chopsticks mixed with sesame oil and shredded chicken and placed them in front of Ning Ru'an.
"If you like, I'll dial one for you from the side. Mama Ann. ”
"Recently, I have a newly collected maid on hand, but she is not old, only twelve years old, and her appearance is not very good, but her personality is relatively loyal and honest." Mama An said, while grabbing a servant girl out of the human pair.
Ning Ru'an looked at the little maid she caught and nodded: "It's her, I believe that the person who was taught by Mama An is just a mother, if I just added a maid for no reason, wouldn't it be very good." ”
Mrs. Ning nodded: "Originally, I planned to release a batch of maids in your room and add some more." After speaking, Mrs. Ning once again gave Ning Ruan a chopstick shrimp.
Ning Ru'an looked at the shrimp in the bowl and patted her belly, which was already obviously bulging, feeling more and more that she would become very obese.
Ning Ru'an handed over the maid she brought back from Mrs. Ning to Xiangzhi and Xiangfu to teach, and also told some things very seriously.
Xiangzhi nodded respectfully and left the little maid behind.
Xiangfu looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, holding a handful of chicken feather Zen and constantly dangling in front of Ning Ru'an.
Finally, she couldn't help it, and asked Ning Ru'an directly: "Miss, do you think it's not good for me to serve you with Xiangzhi and the two of you, so you will go to Madame to ask for a new maid to come back." Speaking of this, she still pouted, "It's still such a maid, what can she do." ”
"She was taught by Mama An." Ning Ru'an reminded, "Princess Qiuxi came here last time, and I ate the pastries you made, and I think they are very delicious, you go to the kitchen to make some new pastries, and I will send them to Princess Qiuxi." ”
Xiangfu pursed her lips and walked outside.
"Wait."
"Miss, what else do you want to order?"
"The pastries you made yesterday, pack a few, I'm going to take them and give them to Xue Lian, by the way, you also have to take the finished things."
Xiangfu nodded, and quickly packed the pastry for Ning Ru'an to take.
Ning Ru'an asked people to take these pastries and went directly to Xue Lian's courtyard.
Xue Lian's yard is not very large, and it is a relatively remote corner, which is also what she took the initiative to request.
Ning Ru'an came to Xue Lian's courtyard and found that it was full of all kinds of flowers and plants, as well as a lot of exquisite objects, and a few of them were sent by Ning Changjing.
Xue Lian prepared a pot of tea, and asked softly and weakly, "Why does my sister have time to come to my yard today." ”
Ning Ru'an asked people to put the pastries on the table and pushed them in front of Xue Lian: "I'm just here to remind my sister not to do something like eavesdropping on the corner." ”
"What do you mean by sister?" Xue Lian picked up a piece of pastry, put it in her hand but refused to eat it.
"Something about swimming in the lake." Ning Ru'an sighed, "That hairpin, it seems to be my mother's, some time ago, Mama An was still talking about why the hairpin disappeared, you say, how can it be so coincidental." ”
Xue Lian's face changed, and she was about to defend herself a few words, but she was interrupted by Ning Ru'an waving her hand: "There are some things, just don't say it, it doesn't mean that no one will know." In the future, if you settle down and stay away from me, this matter will naturally be over. ”
"If you don't obey, you still blindly lean on me......" Ning Ru'an stopped talking and looked at the pastry in Xue Lian's hand, "This is made by Xiangzhi, it tastes good." ”
Xue Lian played with the pastry in her hand, remained silent, and kept her head down.
Ning Ru'an felt that he had done his best to say that he had done his best, and he didn't continue to say anything, and just took the maid and was about to leave.
"Sister, why do you want to say this to me, did I provoke my sister somewhere?" Xue Hui put on a crying voice and slowly looked up at Ning Ru'an.
Ning Ru'an was stunned.
"Ning Ru'an! What the hell do you want to do! Ning Changjing's voice suddenly sounded, and then, he ran in like a fire, and hurriedly protected Xue Lian behind him, staring at Ning Ru'an with his eyes blazing, "What the hell do you want to do, you actually came here to find trouble!" ”
Ning Ru'an rubbed his temples and felt a headache.
Ning Changjing is a brainless idiot!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to control it, so I'm going to trouble her. So I came all the way to remind my sister not to appear in front of me. Seeing this, Ning Ru'an simply sat down directly to confirm his "crime", "Be careful that if I am unhappy, I will bully Xue Lian!" ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to control it, so I'm going to trouble her. So I came all the way to remind my sister not to appear in front of me. Seeing this, Ning Ru'an simply sat down directly to confirm his "crime", "Be careful that if I am unhappy, I will bully Xue Lian!" ”
That day, Ning Ru'an went to follow Xue Lian to draw a clear line, but she didn't expect to meet Ning Changjing, and after a verbal battle between the two, Ning Ru'an turned around and returned to her courtyard.
However, the beating that day seemed to have played a certain role, and Xue Lian did not appear in front of Ning Ru'an for several days in a row.
Even when she went to Mrs. Ning every morning to say goodbye, she didn't come much because she was unwell.
In this way, Mrs. Ning still thought about Xue Lian a little.
"Mother, why don't I ask Xiangfu to call my sister over?" Ning Ru'an said slowly.
Mrs. Ning was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm just a little bored to be alone, and then she often comes to talk to me, which can relieve my boredom." Actually, I don't really want to see her, she follows your brother......"
As soon as Mrs. Ning thought of Ning Changjing kneeling in front of her and begging to marry Xue Lian, she had an indescribable anger enveloping her.
Ning Changjing's marriage has been decided, and he is waiting for the other party's miss.
Xue Lian must not be married back, especially since Ning Changjing is still focused on Xue Lian's body, and after getting married, he will definitely be pinched to death by Xue Lian.
"Madam, this is a portrait sent by the Ning family, I will take it to the master after you see it." A housekeeper stepped forward and spoke, while the housekeeper behind him was holding countless scrolls.
Ning Ru'an curiously picked up a picture scroll and opened it in his hand to view,
In the picture scroll is a woman in her prime age.
"This is the body?" Ning Ru'an put the scroll on the table, turned her head and asked Mrs. Ning, the woman in the scroll was very bright and beautiful.
Chapter 275: Be careful to curry
Could it be that Ning Hao is planning to take a concubine?
"This is the picture scroll that the queen wants." Mrs. Ning waved her hand with a little headache, "Recently, I have seen a lot of picture scrolls, no matter how beautiful the women in them are, they can't compare to my Jiaojiao!" ”
Ning Ru'an had an epiphany.
No wonder the queen hasn't summoned herself to the palace recently, and Ning Hao didn't act as a lobbyist to persuade herself to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, it turned out that they all wanted to find a new partner.
Choose an easier opponent from the Ning family and let her embark on the path of her previous life.
"Jiaojiao, why do you have a bad complexion? Whether it's because you haven't eaten well lately, or because you've slept well. Mrs. Ning put down the scroll in her hand and saw Ning Ru'an staring blankly ahead.
"Maybe I got up too early today and didn't get enough sleep, so I'll go back and sleep a little longer." Ning Ru'an opened his mouth and left.
Mrs. Ning nodded distressedly, and stuffed Ning Ru'an with a purse and let her stay with her.
After returning to the courtyard, Ning Ru'an felt more and more that the queen's city was unfathomable, and she did not give up her plan to take Wen Shi at all.
"Forget it, I'll just be a good person!" Ning Ru'an sighed and called someone to prepare a carriage, she was going to go out to find Wen Shi to remind her of this matter.
When he was about to get into the carriage, Ning Ruan ran into Ning Changjing, who was coming back from outside.
The two men looked at each other for a moment.
Ning Ru'an got into the carriage.
Halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped. Ning Changjing, who was chasing after him on horseback, directly lifted the curtain and got in.
"Ning Ru'an, what good things have you done?" Ning Changjing said directly and loudly, staring at Ning Ru'an viciously.
Ning Ru'an was stunned, not knowing what she had provoked him.
"What did you say to Lian again!" Ning Changjing's eyes widened, staring straight at Ning Ru'an.
"You vicious person, how can you have such a black heart. By the way, where do you want to go, the Prince's Mansion? Ning Changjing looked around and suddenly laughed, "I remember that you refused to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, but you still followed the Prince out to swim in the lake, and now you are still looking for His Royal Highness the Prince, are you ......?"
Ning Changjing stood up and stood in front of Ning Ru'an, shrouding Ning Ru'an's whole person in his shadow.
"I always thought you were very sensible and reasonable, but I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"The man who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix."
But.
Ning Changjing didn't say anything until he finished speaking, and Ning Ru'an didn't say a word to refute it.
She just took it quietly, without saying a word, very quietly.
This attitude made Ning Changjing even more unable to control the anger in his body, he simply didn't expect that he would punch out like this, and it would be hit on top of the cotton, and it was light and fluttering, without any deterrent.
"It's because of Xue Lian again." Ning Ru'an spoke lightly, raised her eyes and glanced at Ning Changjing, "I have something to do now, and I don't want to talk to you too much." ”
"Hehe, of course you have something to do. No one likes you yourself, so come and break up me and follow Lotus! Ning Changjing took a deep breath, his voice became louder and louder, and the people outside also heard the quarrel in the carriage.
Ning Changjing thought that he had just gone back to Xue Lian with a gift, but he didn't expect that Xue Lian wouldn't even let himself go into the courtyard. Then I thought of Ning Ru'an, who went out in a hurry. He combined the two things in an instant.
It must have been Ning Ru'an who followed Xue Lian and said something, which caused Xue Lian to not see him at all now.
"You go back with me!" The more Ning Changjing thought about it, the more he felt that the credibility of this matter was very high, so he stepped forward and grabbed Ning Ru'an's hand and pulled her outside.
Ning Ru'an followed Ning Changjing with natural strength to perceive, and struggled for a long time without pulling his hand out of Ning Changjing's hand.
Ning Changjing relied on his strength and directly dragged Ning Ruan out of the carriage.
Ning Ru'an was dragged to stand unsteadily, her head hit the top of the carriage, and she only inhaled cold air in pain.
A lot of hawkers and ordinary people gradually gathered around, and they left in a hurry when they saw the emblem of the Marquis of Kangping on the carriage, and they did not dare to stop and observe. But they all pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the argument of the two aristocratic siblings. I don't know what happened, so that the two noble brothers and sisters disregarded their face and quarreled in public.
"Ning Changjing, aren't you ashamed enough?" Ning Ru'an tried to withdraw his hand again, "Ning Changjing, you sober me up!" Xue Lian doesn't like you at all, even if you do something, she still won't like you. ”
"Shut up!" Ning Changjing was angry from his heart, and slapped Ning Ru'an directly.
Ning Ru'an was so flustered by this slap that she was unstable on her feet and fell directly to the ground.
"Be careful." A pair of hands suddenly appeared and caught Ning Ru'an, avoiding her from making intimate contact with the ground.
There was a familiar smell from the end of his nose, and Ning Ru'an raised his eyes slightly, just in time to see Wen Shi's chin.
"Why are you here?" Ning Ru'an asked a little curiously, and planned to get out of his arms.
In public, such intimate contact is not okay or not.
"Something happened to pass by." Wen Shi still held Ning Ru'an in her arms, and stopped her intention to struggle with all her strength in her hand, "Don't blame me if you brush it down and touch your face." ”
Ning Ru'an was slightly stunned and continued to struggle.
Wen Shi was about to stop, but Ning Ru'an got closer again with the distance on the ground, and in a panic, he grabbed Wen Shi's clothes directly.
The people around them quietly slowed down their movements and turned their eyes to the three people.
"Someone." Ning Ru'an saw that the people around him turned their eyes over from time to time, and he was so shy that he buried his head in Wen Shi's arms, and refused to look up at the people around him again.
It was rare for Wen Shi to see Ning Ru'an so well-behaved in his arms, and he couldn't wait to kiss her directly.
But thinking that it is true that she can't be too close to Ning Ru'an now, so as not to arouse her disgust.
After thinking about it, he was very reluctant to put Ning Ru'an down.
"Attend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ning Changjing's opening interrupted the two people who were staying together.
Wen Shi raised his eyes and felt his temples suddenly rattle. If he had been a step late just now, Ning Ru'an would definitely have fallen off the carriage. Such a high carriage, if it is good, it will only be a little skin trauma if it falls, and if it is more serious, it may be killed.
Thinking of these possibilities, Wen Shi looked at Ning Changjing with a bit more murderous in his eyes.
"Seeing Lonely, are you just starting to salute now?" Wen Shi spoke lightly.
Ning Changjing couldn't figure out Wen Shi's intentions for a while, thinking that his salute was not standardized, and planned to salute again.
However, Wen Shi rejected him and ordered instead: "The little marquis of the Kangping Hou Mansion is disrespectful to Lonely, and it will be dealt with according to the usual practice, but thinking of Kang Pinghou's face, a small punishment and a big admonition can be done." ”
The guards obeyed the order, and dragged Ning Changjing off the carriage with all hands and feet, and then beat him.
Ning Ru'an looked at Ning Changjing, looking at Wen Shi, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
It's really in power, and it's hard to find an excuse to beat someone.
"Does it hurt?" Wen Shi saw that Ning Ru'an's forehead was blue a lot, so he naturally reached out to touch it.
Ning Ru'an turned his head and avoided Wen Shi's contact.
"I'll send you home, I don't need you to come to me in person." Wen Shi looked in the direction of the carriage and asked.
Ning Ru'an wanted to go to Wen Shi, so he got off the donkey and agreed to Wen Shi to send him home.
