The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 305 The Eve of Entering Beijing ([-])

Su Yunduo patted Ning's hand lightly: "Mother, the capital city is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and the Su clan is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Although my uncle can't accompany us to Beijing, Cousin Lu has made arrangements. He asked Jiu'er to come with us." Going into the city together, everything is arranged, there is really nothing to worry about."

"Yes, yes, even if Zijian didn't let Jiu'er follow us, wouldn't there still be Qiuxi and the others? Don't worry, we'll live on Huayang Street when we enter the city. It's not far from Zhen Guogong's mansion, and lives away from my mother. The courtyard is not far away, and it is also very close to the market and the Imperial College. It is very convenient to go in and out of life." Su Chengzhi put his hands on Ning's shoulders and pressed gently.

At this time, Nanny Chen and Zisu retreated from the room with winks, so that it was convenient for Su Yunduo and the others to talk.

Su Yunduo explained Lu Jinkang's arrangements and suggestions in detail. Although she couldn't completely calm Ning's heart, it finally made Ning's complexion better.

Later, someone from the capital came to the post station with the guards who entered the city to report the news.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the courtyard on Huayang Street, surnamed Chen, who was originally the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and then went to Su's house with Mrs. Lu, and was also the man of Nanny Chen.

Mrs. Kong once told Su Yunduo that Mrs. Lu's Nanny Wu is the most trusted old lady of Mrs. Lu. Now it seems that Mrs. Chen is not much better than Mrs. Wu.

The news brought by Steward Chen is similar to what Lu Jinkang expected. The Beijing Central Committee attaches great importance to the destruction of official roads, and the Holy One even ordered thousands of soldiers from the Western Camp to rush for repairs. Although the carriages have not yet been allowed to pass, pedestrians have been freed. unimpeded.

"The house has been cleaned and tidy, and we just wait for the master and wife to bring the young ladies and young masters to move in." Chen Butler said some things about Beijing, and finally bowed deeply to Su Chengzhi and Ning.

"Chen Steward has worked hard, go down and rest first, and we will go to Beijing when the road is repaired tomorrow." Su Chengzhi raised his hand slightly, but he looked like a master.

Ning sat on the side quietly, receiving Steward Chen's gift steadily, but didn't say anything.

But as long as she is able to hold her back, Su Yunduo thinks she can look up to her. It seems that Madam Kong has not wasted her efforts on Ning Shi in the past six months. I hope that after entering the capital, Ning Shi can continue to hold her like this. , even if you can't speak, it's better than panic when you see a stranger.

After Chen Butler withdrew, Su Chengzhi also went to talk to Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping. Ning's shoulders collapsed all of a sudden, and he looked at Su Yunduo and said, "I'm really tired."

"Mother, you did a great job just now! If you can relax a little more, you won't feel so tired, and it will make people feel more calm and elegant." Su Yunduo stood up and walked behind Ning, and gently massaged her stand up.

After listening to Su Yunduo's words, Ning could not help but smile slightly: "Mother is a few catties and a few ounces, I understand most clearly in my heart, what is elegant and calm is just putting on airs."

"Mother thinks that some of the noble ladies in Beijing are really elegant and calm, they are just better at pretending than you!" After Ning's hard work, she finally became a little like a housewife, and Su Yunduo didn't want to see it She was beaten back to her original shape, so naturally she encouraged her vigorously.

Besides, the lucky ladies in the capital, if they start training from an early age, how much better can they be than the Ning family?

As she said, it's nothing more than learning how to cover up, how to behave, and how to pretend since she was a child, and her skills are relatively deep.

While enjoying Su Yunduo's massage, Ning carefully pondered what Su Yunduo said just now, although the so-called noble ladies she had contacted were probably the magistrate's wife of Xiushui County, the prefect's wife and the general soldier's wife of Yanshan Prefecture.

From Ning's point of view, the speech and behavior of these ladies are not as good as Mrs. Kong's. Ning has learned a lot from Mrs. Kong's wives, which makes her feel guilty.

After all, Mrs. Kong is indeed not a lady in the capital, but her demeanor in front of people is truly calm and elegant.

Of course, Ning also knows how Madam Kong looks like when she gets along with her in private, and Madam Kong is still very casual in private.

Put aside all the elegance and calmness in front of others, and come as comfortable as you can.

So does it mean that the old lady's speech and behavior in front of people are either elegant or calm or graceful, just like what Su Yunduo said is also a fake?
It's just that this pretending also needs to have a considerable background. It is very difficult, too difficult, and too tiring for her to pretend to be as elegant and calm as the old lady!

While Su Yunduo was massaging Ning Shi, she lowered her eyes to observe the expression on Ning Shi's face.

The expression on Ning's face was suddenly disturbed and suddenly relieved, presumably what she said just now touched Ning a little bit.

When Ning's face gradually calmed down, Su Yunduo's heart also relaxed slowly, only enjoying the relaxation of the massage.

Su Yunduo's massage techniques come from his previous life, and he is from a professional background, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Ning Shi likes Su Yunduo's massage the most, but Su Yunduo has a lot of things to do on weekdays and rarely has time to massage Ning Shi.

Of course, looking at the busy Su Yunduo, Ning Shi was also reluctant to let Su Yunduo massage for her again, there are not many like today.

Ning enjoyed it for a while, then reached out and patted Su Yunduo's hand that was slowly pressing on her shoulder and neck: "Okay, mother is fine, come, let's sit down and talk."

In order for Su Zerui to have fun, a clean mat was specially laid out on the floor, and Su Yunduo pulled Ning Shi to sit on the floor casually.

During the rare relaxing time before entering Beijing, sitting on the mat and feeling the coolness brought by the ice basin, Su Yunduo felt that doing whatever he wanted could really make people relax.

Ning's body was a little stiff, the door was closed, but her eyes still looked out from time to time, presumably she was worried that such an indecent sitting posture would be seen and made people look down on her.

Su Yunduo couldn't help but sighed in her heart, maybe she was really wrong.

If Ning continued to be so nervous, Su Yunduo didn't know how long she would last.

Instead of exhausting Ning Shi, it's better to live one's own life freely. Are other people's opinions really that important? !
Su Yunduo kept reflecting in her heart, and at the same time recalled what Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping had said to her before, and gradually overturned in her heart the idea of ​​wanting Ning to live in the forefront of others.

She was reluctant to part with Ning's hard work and tiredness, and at the same time, she also figured out one thing, even if Ning's ability to stand up to it, would it really make people look up to her?Naturally it is impossible!
Since it is impossible, why bother to torture yourself? !

Su Yunduo's heart suddenly became brighter, and he leaned his body lightly on Ning's body, and said with a chuckle: "Mother's body is soft and fragrant, it's really comfortable to lean on like this."
