Chapter 29

【unlucky ghost】

Su Liang tried on the shoes that Ping Ping bought back, and they fit perfectly.

Mushrooms are good, I plan to use them in chicken stew.

As for the hawthorn that Ning Ping wanted to eat, Su Liang originally wanted to make candied haws, but he didn't have bamboo sticks, so he decided to make candy snowballs that didn't need sticks.

Ning Jing rolled up his sleeves, listened to Su Liang's instructions, and washed and removed the seeds from the hawthorn.

"What's that person's name?" Su Liang who was frying sugar suddenly asked.

Ning Jing said indifferently, "It's not important."

Su Liang suspects that he doesn't know because he is not the real seventh son of the Ning family.

But, it really doesn't matter.

sunset.

Bai Xiaohu came running with Zhuzi, saw the middle-aged man standing outside the door, and asked him curiously, "Who are you?"

"I'm here to look for my young master. Please go in and let me know. If you don't agree to go home, I'll just wait here." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Brother, he's looking for Brother Ning." Zhuzi said.

Bai Xiaohu pushed open the door, pulled the pillars in, closed the door again, and whispered, "Don't care about him! He won't let in, he must be someone that Brother Ning and Sister Su Liang don't like!"

……

When Su Liang turned his head, he saw two little guys standing at the door with sparkling eyes.

The freshly made sugar snowballs, the hawthorns are wrapped in snow-white icing, and the original bright red has become hazy and soft, like red plums reflected in snow, which is really beautiful.

The air is full of sweet fragrance, and Ning Jing is using her slender fingers to pick up one and put it in her mouth.

Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi swallowed at the same time.

Su Liang beckoned, "I just made it, I don't know if it tastes good, come and help me try it."

Bai Xiaohu grabbed a large handful of wild jujubes from his pocket, "There's a branch behind my house that's ripe, it's delicious!"

The round jujubes are crisp and sweet.

Seeing that Su Liang likes it, Bai Xiaohu said that there are many on the mountain behind her house.

"I'll go take a look some other day." Su Liang said with a smile.

The two children, you and me, quickly finished the small bowl of sugar snowballs she gave.

Su Liang poured another big bowl for Bai Xiaohu, "You can't eat too much at one time, especially Zhuzi, don't eat any more today. Take it home, give it to your grandparents to taste, you can keep it for a while."

"Thank you, Sister Su Liang!" Bai Xiaohu took the bowl and ran away, Zhu Zi followed behind, his footsteps were more stable than the previous few days.

……

After making the stewed chicken with mushrooms, the sky darkened, and a tempting aroma wafted in the yard.

Bai Xiaohu, who came back to deliver the bowl, took away another bowl of meat, and was scolded by the old man when he got home.

"Whenever you want to leave, write me a recipe book." Ning Jing said, "I can buy it."

Su Liang nodded, "No problem. Our money won't last long, so we have to find a way."

They live a simple life, but they are not frugal, especially when it comes to food.

Su Liang's body is too weak, so he needs to eat good supplements.

Ning Jing was originally the kind of person who ate only to avoid starvation, but the food made by Su Liang was an exception.

Putting down the chopsticks, Su Liang looked out of the window, "Everyone is here, we can't keep people from coming in..."

……

The door opened with a creak, and the middle-aged man sitting in the corner with his arms folded stood up suddenly, "Master!"

Ning Jing turned around and went back without saying a word.

Looking at the open door, the middle-aged man regained his senses, hurriedly chased in, and turned around to close the door.

Entering the room, I saw Su Liang sitting lazily at the table, with a plate of sugar snowballs and a plate of purple grapes in hand.

The middle-aged man hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "This is the seventh son's wife, right? I'm sorry, I am the fourth steward of the Ning Mansion, and my name is Zhao Ming."

Su Liang asked back, "I'm going to Ning's house in Xunyang, can I really be a decent young lady?"

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically, "The master loves the seventh son the most, so he will recognize the seventh young lady."

"I love him the most, but why did you drive him out of the house?" Su Liang laughed lightly.

Zhao Ming sighed repeatedly, "That was just a stopgap measure out of desperation. Now that the limelight has passed, the master sent me to pick you up, Young Master."

"You should have asked who I am?" Su Liang asked.

Zhao Ming nodded, "Yes, the young lady grew up in the capital, and she also came from a famous family."

"You can't talk about a famous family, and today is different. Going to Ning's house, with my identity, I can at most be a concubine, and I will be looked down upon by others. In that case, it's better not to go." Su Liang said.

"That son..." Zhao Ming looked at Ning Jing.

"He can go with you, but I've been doing embroidery to support him for so long, so I can't end up with nothing, right?" Su Liang pointed out.

"Thank you, young lady... Miss Su for taking care of my young master." Zhao Ming said, and took out a hundred taels of silver.

Su Liang took it, with a half-smile, "Sure enough, it's a wealthy family, even the fourth butler carries so much money with him."

Zhao Ming sneered, "Go out, in case of emergency."

"Since you know that I used to live in the capital, why don't you give this small amount of money to send the beggar?" Su Liang suddenly changed his face.

"I didn't bring that much with me. When I get home, I'll report to the master and send someone to reward Miss Su." Zhao Ming said.

Su Liang shook his head, "I only believe in real money. If you bring 5000 taels, I will follow you."

Zhao Ming's face froze, "Miss Su, the master is seriously ill, and he is waiting for the son to go back, so we can't delay. After we get home..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't believe it." Su Liang's face turned cold, "You can go. There is no 5000 taels, so there is no need to talk about it."

Zhao Ming looked at Ning Jing, "Master, this..."

Ning Jing was expressionless, "I don't like to owe others the most. If Ning's family won't even pay this little money, I don't have to go back."

Not long after, Zhao Ming who was kicked out quickly left Sujia Village.

There was a car waiting at the entrance of the village, Zhao Ming got in the car, his face darkened, "Go to the county seat!"

……

The next day, when Zhao Ming came again, Xing Yusheng, who had come to seek medical treatment, hadn't left yet.

Noticing the totem of Qi Yan Qi Jun's sword on the Beijing Palace, Zhao Ming's expression changed, and he kept his distance and waited outside.

Xing Yusheng saw the candy snowball that Ning Jing ate, and asked what kind of dessert it was.Knowing that it was made of the red fruit he sent yesterday, he tasted one out of curiosity and praised it repeatedly.

Su Liang asked him to take some back to Mrs. Xing.

When Xing Yusheng was about to leave, he saw Zhao Ming, "Who is that?"

Qi Yan called Zhao Ming over to ask questions, and learned that it was someone from the Ning family in Xunyang City who wanted to take Ning back home.

Xing Yusheng looked worried, "Mrs. Ning Jing is the righteous sister of my son. If she doesn't agree, whoever dares to mess around, be careful."

Zhao Ming looked startled, and when he realized it, Xing Yusheng had already gotten into the car and left.

……

Qi Jun said with a smile, "Miss Su doesn't seem to have agreed to be the son's righteous sister."

Xing Yusheng's faint voice came from the carriage, "I wish to support her, can't I?"

Qi Yan sighed, "That girl is really weird. If it were someone else, she would have been pestering the Elder Son for a long time, and the Elder Elder must catch up with her."

Qi Jun chuckled, "I don't know if they will go back to Ning's house."

"No." Xing Yusheng said with certainty.

"What if they go back?" Qi Yan asked.

Xing Yusheng snorted softly, "Su Liang promised to treat me, but he hasn't been cured yet, how could he leave? It's okay for Ning Jing to leave."

"If Miss Su is really left alone, that would be great, let's invite her to be a doctor in the palace!" Qi Yan became happy.

Qi Jun coughed lightly, "Brother, the old lady and the prince don't have such a big face, so don't dream about it."

……

Zhao Ming took out a stack of silver bills and handed them to Su Liang respectfully, "This is 5000 taels, thank you Miss Su for taking care of my son."

Su Liang took it, pretending to be surprised, "It only passed overnight, where did you get it?"

"I got it from the county bank." Zhao Ming said in a respectful voice, "I thought the young master needed money on the way back, so the master gave me a sign before going out."

"So that's it." Su Liang smiled lightly, "But there is a little misunderstanding here, what I want is 5000 taels of gold. Ning's only heir son, so precious, how can 5000 taels of silver be enough?"

Zhao Ming's face couldn't help but look ugly, "I beg Miss Su to show you your hand, don't embarrass the villain. The master is really seriously ill. That brand can only take 5000 taels of silver notes, nothing more."

"That's a pity, I have to trouble you to make another trip." Su Liang didn't budge.

Zhao Ming went to see Ning Jing, and Ning Jing just read the book without raising his head.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Ming spoke again, "Just now, the villain met the eldest son of the Beijing Prince's Mansion outside. He claimed to be Miss Su's brother-in-law. The villain has no eyes, and he was talking nonsense last night. Of course, Miss Su's identity can Master must be very happy to know that he is the main wife of the Seventh Young Master, and please invite the Young Madam to go home with the Young Master!"

"I can, but I don't care about it, I want money." Su Liang shook his head.

Zhao Ming said awkwardly, "Miss Su recognized Shizi Xing as her righteous brother, so she shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Su Liang sneered, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Zhao Ming repeatedly apologized, "Don't dare, dare not..."

"I want to eat grapes." Su Liang said.

Ning Jing put down the book silently, washed his hands, and peeled the grape skins for Su Liang...

"Go back and tell your master that Tranquility is now my man, and it's not that easy to let him 'go'."

The word that Su Liang emphasized deliberately made Zhao Ming's hand under his sleeve tremble.

……

Seeing Zhao Ming leave in despair, Su Liang sighed, "So this is the feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger."

"There was a killer before. He must have come here specially to collect my body. Seeing that I was still alive, he planned to trick me into leaving and attack on the way." Ning Jing said calmly, "After this incident, they want to kill me and you even more."

Su Liang shook his head, "Originally some people must get rid of you, it doesn't matter what they want more."

Ning Jing nodded, "Yes."

"If you want to get rid of me too, don't worry. My life is in danger, you can predict it." Su Liang was very calm.

……

Bei'an County.

A man turned his back to Zhao Ming and looked at the paintings on the wall, "No wonder, the eldest brother spent a lot of money to hire Yan Shiba to help, and the seventh brother didn't die. It turns out that he found a backer."

Zhao Ming bowed and said, "The one who has something to do with the Beijing Palace is the woman who is with the seventh son."

"To be able to fall in love with Lao Qi and blackmail us 5000 taels is really lustful and greedy for money." The man snorted coldly.

"Then now..." Zhao Ming's expression turned ugly.

"I've come here, I wanted to send Lao Qi on the road with my own hands, since he doesn't know his woman, forget it." The man sneered, "The highest price offered by the elder brother, according to the rules of Yanyun Building, he must be responsible for his mistakes. Next, the owner of Yanyun Building will kill Yan Shiba, and then take action himself to continue the unfinished task."

……

The next day, when he saw Xing Yusheng again, Ning Jing looked at him twice more.

"Is there something dirty on my face?" Xing Yusheng felt strange.

Su Liang thought of something, pulled Ning Jing aside and started whispering.

"Again, he……"

"Ah."

"This unlucky ghost, could it be that the person who wanted to poison him before, learned that the matter was exposed, and planned to kill him without stopping?"

"I think so too."

……

Su Liang turned around and smiled at Xing Yusheng, he suddenly felt his heart fluttering, "Well, I was wrong to call myself your righteous brother to the servant of the Ning family yesterday, don't mind."

Su Liang took out a silver needle and pointed at Xing Yusheng's eyebrows, "I heard that there is a hot spring in Qiuming Mountain Villa, can we stay there for a few days?"

Xing Yusheng coughed lightly, "Of course, I wonder why." I was inexplicably scared...

"That's good." Su Liang nodded.

Out of nowhere, Xing Yusheng asked again, "What if I don't agree?" After asking, he changed his words in embarrassment.

Su Liang thought for a while, "If you don't agree, don't think about leaving today."

Xing Yusheng smiled, "Can I stay?"

Ning Jing turned a page of the book, opened her thin lips lightly, "Sleeping in the woodshed."
